Yes. Ideally, they wouldn’t earn mega wages that threaten the stability of the clubs. The players could get paid a decent wage and then the leftover money could be used to stabilise the club and be invested in the local community. But we all know that if they didn’t take the money then the chairman/board would take it instead. And because the players are the ones on the stage, generating the product then they deserve it fair more than the shareholders.

Plus, generally it’s easier to just tell with the feet as they’re on the ground. No need for fancy graphs and close call lines.
