Answer that and you’ve probably solved the meaning of life and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the collapse of today, a 'full Tilson' now requires players to pay subs every week and the one who turns up late has to wash the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the fact a dollar is worth less than a pound. I think you’re right though. Traditionally a British billion was a million million, rather than the US usage of a thousand million. I think we have accepted the US standard here now with a thousand billion (or a million million) being a trillion. Either way, more money than I will ever see in my lifetime!

Sanchez is a good player, but £20m + pa is completely bonkers and probably exceeds our total player wage budget!!!. Also read somewhere that if Man U sign him then part of the deal is that they will have to pay his agent £10m, making the agent worth as much as Flinty! Agents = a scourge on the game. Yeah it leaves a very sour taste in the mouth. It's a pity we all love football so much and don't vote with our feet, because if fans started protesting, these players couldn't earn such vulgar wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My surname means I am more likely related to the beloved owner of Newcastle United (still, as far as I know) and all-round benevolent employer Mr. Michael Ashley or Uncle Mike as I like to call him. If no one contradicts me it must be true. #gaslogic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
