It's not about that though. In all walks of life people with lots of money exercise judgement in how they spend it so that they aren't perceived in the way that Fletcher is currently being perceived.

Alternatively, he could dispel all criticism by looking as if he gave a fuck occasionally.
I won't knock hus personal life for his work performance. I'll happily criticise his performances for us. I won't judge how someone lives their life.
 
Not being precious at all, I'd say posting a picture like this is rubbing our noses in it while doing little to get the club we all love out of the clarts and seeing yet another manager off, no one can stop him spending his money as he sees fit, but he doesn't have gloat by doing it on social media?
So if the photo wasn't made public you'd have no problem ?
 
Apparently Paul McShane drives a £150,000 car.

Let that sink in.
The average Premier League wage is approaching £40k a week these days isn't it? None of these players are gonna drive a Ford Focus. I think sometimes people underestimate how much these players are on. We kept hearing about Phil Bardsley being on top dollar when in reality he was on the average wage, because he's an average player. And we replaced him with a worse player for more money. We all know the money involved in football and while we may not agree with it, there's nowt we can do about it.
 
Whatever your views, its turned out to be a proper micky gray moment for the bloke. A complete pr disaster for him. More people than ever think he's an absolute cock. its his own fault as well - he is an absolute cock.

the sooner he fucks off from this club the better.
 
Yeah, he got a 5 out of 10 where no other player got more than 4. It's hardly a performance worthy of a £260k supercar.

As I've said.....do what Suarez did last season and there's no problem.
If he had scored twenty goals this season he still wouldn't have been worth the money though, it's obscene.
For every Suarez there's 100 overpaid, average players in this league. Are we going to put embargoes on what they all spend their money on now are we?
 
So if the photo wasn't made public you'd have no problem ?
Not really, as I said it's the timing of it and his performances since the ear cupping instance, if he goes on a Wickham type run to keep us up I'd be totally cool with what he drives, I don't give a fuck what he spends his money but how he portrays himself to the world while he plays for my team does concern me.

I think that would happen in most work arenas tbh......and you'd probably find that someone who had performed as poorly as Fletcher at their jobs would probably get a fair bit of stick from colleagues. I'd say your perspective on it would be a minority view (one you're perfectly entitled to hold though) and that the majority view would be that Fletcher's judgement over this is a bit suspect......not his spending of the vast rewards he gets but doing it in an ostentatious way when his commitment to the cause looks less than 100%.
