I don't understand why people here go on about how much our players get payed .
When I was working each year we had a pay round .
We went into the boss and asked for the salary we wanted for the coming year .
All asked for more than we thought we would get .
If our employer agreed [ which never happened ] we were over the moon and none of us would say we didn't mean it you can pay us less .
So it is not our players to blame on how much they earn it is the employers , Steve Parish and the rest o the board .

Not just here on most football boards.

I have a theory why footballers get it more in the neck than pop stars or other sports people / celebrities.

1. There are more of them earning a good salary so a bigger target. Even in League 1 there are some players on very good wages.

2. Football is a mass participation grass roots sport, most of us grow up believing that we could play to a certain level or that we at least understand how the game should be played.

How many of us can read music, play an instrument or hit a tennis ball (a lot less than can play football).

Still I think they are over paid for what they do but that won't change unless the TV money collapses.

One more point

Thanks, i try my best

This was what the Athletic's Dom Fifield said when he renewed his contract:

Has the striker taken a wage cut?
That is unclear. Palace are attempting to reduce their wage bill this summer and have a number of high-earning senior players out of contract.

Regardless, in a summer of upheaval at Selhurst Park, retaining the player would represent a more cost-effective solution than signing a striker from elsewhere.

With his contract renewed before a manager was appointed and the fact that even with his form over the last 3 years, it's not unrealistic to think another club would have offered him £100k+ pw wages on a free. I'd be surprised if he took a drastic pay cut, especially after scoring 5 in his last 8 games of the season.

I know. How the f*** anyone can get by on £35,000 a week is anyone's guess.

The game really has gone mad.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.
