There's no doubt in my head that now all high earners should be contributing to support the survival of the industry, of society etc
However, it struck me as interesting that I can't think of many other industries where it's the actual producers of the product who are the best paid.
Footballers earn more than their managers, administrators etc. Only the investors are richer than them, and even then, they don't generally derive their profits from football - they're usually rich from something else (e.g. oil money or hedge funds or whatever)
It made me think a bit about my attitude towards wages.
Given what money comes into football in normal times, where should the money (in normal times) go if not to the players?
