[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 136415, member: 175057"] I'm sorry he is right, particularly on the education issue, not of all footballers, but certainly a percentage of them, have you listened to some of the after match interviews? I'm not a fan of Blatter either, but think he makes a lot of sense in this. As for the issue of the money in the game, yes there is a lot of money, but it is mostly pouring into the top 3 or 4 percent of clubs and players and certainly not filtering down to the grass roots of the game. They are bringing in these huge amounts of money from sponsorship and advertising and then still hammer the supporters with ever increasing ticket charges and constantly changing kit at higher and higher prices, so that they can pay some of these ridiculous salaries. I agree that their playing life is short, but many of them could retire in luxury after only a year of playing at the top level. [/QUOTE]
