| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

I witnessed a scene many years ago that today's footballers couldn't even contemplate. Very early morning - Ivor Allchurch, unloading newspapers off the train on High Street Station!! | |

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure on 14:49 - Apr 30 with 1392 views | swancity | I’ve just read that the average annual salary of the 600 plus championship players this season is a whopping £655,000. 😫 Swansea annual wage bill is now £12.27m. Which puts us in 14th place in the division, way behind Leicester £60m Southampton £40m and Leeds £39m. Andy is currently on £140,000 a week. £20,000 a day. Let that sink in for a moment. What kind of works are we living in? I’m unsure what the answer is apart from salary capping? I wouldn’t like to see players going back to earning £450 a week but there needs to be a happy medium somewhere surely. They aren’t worth that sort of money. No one is. | |

Waggy, Dudey Lewis, Nigel Stevenson, Herbie Williams and more worked for Royal mail, Dudley still might. Given the state of finances across football, unless clubs get their houses in order and pay what they can actually afford, there may be hard times coming for many clubs. Maybe it's time footballers stopped demanding more than can be afforded and accept that they will probably have to carry on working when their playing days are over? Why do second rate footballers deserve to be so well off they can retire before their late 30's? Why should they be so much better off than the rest of us just because their good at kicking a ball? If anyone still wonders why I haven't renewed my ST and watch football ore on tv than in person anyore, it's because of the greed of the players and the stupidity of the clubs and thse who run the game. | | | |
