The Football.....

I have just read that Zenadine Zidane has just been given the job of manager for the French football team with a salary of 450 000 euros PER MONTH including any bonuses. This is obscene and an insult to any football fan, which I am pleased to say, I am not.
The world has gone mad and is not getting any better.

Almost the same as Tuchel is paid, and a lot less than anyone who plays for the team gets, I would imagine.

Not tax payer's money, so not my business

FIFA (Infantino) seem to be flogging a bit of the World Cup off to the Trump extended family, with a promise of loads of dosh to anyone that votes in favour and far less to anyone that votes against. UEFA looking close to taking their ball home over it

Time to break away from FIFA and set up a new organisation.

Seems crazy that UEFA is being held up as a paragon of good governance, but I guess that's the world we live in.

Why is that an insult to any football fan?

The top 100 player salaries in the Premier league are all more than that - the 100th is Morgan Gibbs-White on €128,863 per week, which even with 4 weeks per month comes out at over €500K per month (excluding bonuses).

Zidane's salary works out at £4.6 million per year (€5.4 million), and the top 7 premier league managers earn more than that, with David Moyes getting £5 million in 7th place.
