At what point in time did wages get so ridiculous?

How can more than a million a week ever be justified as a wage for anyone? Don't you think players would also perform better if there wages were based on performance throughout a season rather than a weekly salary?

Also a bit off topic but shouldn't fines from fifa be relative to the players wage? A £10,000 fine to the average fella is a huge sum but to a high paid footballer they make that back in the same time it takes me to fart.

When football was 'invented' in 92/3 was when it started getting ridiculous.

FIFA and UEFA haven't helped matters either, by expanding their various tournaments.

In one word, it's "popularity" which makes them be so highly paid!

1. Footballers are entertainers
2. The clubs are making more money
3. Because of it's popularity

The popularity of football drives the prices up. This is why men's football players get paid more than female football players because of its popularity.

Even considering the fact that football is a very popular game and it is translated on TV, I think that the payments are too high. Some players don't deserve it for sure

I am also surprised at the high salaries of football players. In reality, this is simply justified. I think marketing and wealthy club owners just influenced it.

Totally agree. If a player gets fined it should be 'A week's wages' or 'Half a year salary'. Otherwise they just walk away laughing
