Have you got Sky?
Yes but no sports albeit I do have bt as it was free

He's not worth it you're right. PL footballers aren't worth what they're paid but in that aspect he shouldn't be singled out. We could get lower paid players from the lower leagues who would be more value for money but that wouldn't really improve our situation.
I'm not singling him out I made that clear everyone at the club is underperforming
 
twitter hates anyone who does well for themself, esp if white and.. a footballer
 
He can spend his money on whatever he wants, doesn't matter what his goalscoring record is for me, I can see why we have struggled to find the net and not just him.

Well then you have no right to say anything over £5k is overpaid or that you don't agree with Fletchers wage. You're giving your money to the organisation that allows these repulsive wages. If you don't like it, don't give Sky any more of your money.
 
Why the fuck do people care if a someone buys a car with their money

its got fuck all to do with anything

some sad people on here

Obviously a big thread so I imagine that I'm repeating what others have already said but the obvious answer(s) to your question (with an unbelievable 34 likes!) in order of importance for me are:

* Keep a low profile
* Show a bit of humility
* Up his game to actually earn what he's being paid

I don't expect the fucker to hand the money back (although that wouldn't be a bad idea) but he ought to be concentrating his energies on the rather more pressing matter of our club's position. He's behaving like he has his own personal lifeboat on the Titanic whilst the rest of us (steerage) sink to a watery grave... ill judged at best; complete bell in reality.

:lol: Jesus wept man

While I don't have a problem with a bloke buying whatever he wants with his money, I do have a problem with the amount of money that ordinary footballers earn in general.

If you are the world number one, then fair enough. Somebody like Usain Bolt, Roger Federer or Lewis Hamilton, I can accept that they have got their money by being the absolute best in their profession. But somebody like Steven Fletcher is the UK number 250.

At a time of austerity, when the ordinary working man and woman are going years without a pay rise, when front line police are having their numbers cut, when doctors and nurses and teachers are having to work ridiculous hours, when people are living on the streets etc etc, there really is enough money in this country for everyone to have a better standard of living. And yes, the same applies to actors, bankers and numerous other walks of life.

I have every right sky is not just about football and sky don't offer the players there contracts it's the clubs owners. You can't shift the responcibity on sky they don't tell the club's how to spend their share of the money if the club's lowered the cost of attending a match at the same rate of increasing player wages I would at least think the club give a shit about the fans too. Back to my original point then everyone at the club is underperforming.

The clubs will always use the money they receive from Sky to line players and agents pockets. To think otherwise is naive. That's why there's no point being shocked at average ayers earning obscene amounts.

Are they underperforming? Or do we just have a squad packed full of lower PL players? I'd say we have.
 
Rob Hodge for manager! :lol:

Hardly his fault he gets paid obscene amounts of money.

What's he supposed to do when he's playing badly like, give it all away to charity?

He could do worse.

Or stick it in the bank rather than being an ostentatious twat at the worst possible time.

Could you imagine Bally doing something so crass?

I'm not shocked or naive I just don't agree with it. Just because this is how it is does not mean it's right.

They are underperforming apart from the obvious few who are out of their depth we have internationals, PL winners champions league winners in our squad and to only win 4 league games is not defendable they are not shit they are just not performing our squad should be comfortably top half and I don't think that's too much to expect.

No they shouldn't. Not at all. We have a team full of Premier League strugglers. Can't see how it's even debatable.
