Daylight robbery

-

Looking at today's football game, I have seen how passionate the fans always are. They rarely flounder.

The business side has grown well out of proportion to the real worth of the players. For instance, Harry Maguire, allegedly cost Manchester United £800m. No one is worth that amount of money, it is scandalous.

It has been reported in one of the Sunday nationals that while he was on holiday, just his bar bill rocketed. For example; four bottles of Perignon Cuvee Brut £5,767, one bottle of Armand de Brignac Brut £17,120, three bottles of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold £5, 136, Perrier – Jouet Belle Epoque £3,784, one bottle of Dom Perignon Cuvee Brut 2002, £18,022, 10 Dr Smoke rye whiskey cocktails £189, seven Myconian Elite vodka cocktails £126, Beluga Gold Line vodka £5,857, Zacapa XO Rum

£765, three bottles of Jack Daniel's £765, five tomahawk steaks £540, 12 portions of fresh lobster £1,189, seven ribeye steaks £820, two Greek meze platters £43, eight portions of wagyu beef rolls £273, VIP island with private sunbeds £2,703.

Going on to another day, he is at a five-hour party at SantAnna Beach Club with fellow footie stars and he picks up the £63,000 tab.

It just goes on and on and this is just one of our grossly overpaid, temperamen­tal ballerinas, that we – the fans – shell out and scrape together the cost for a massively inflated ticket.

These muppets are rubbing your noses in it every single week. It wants each and every fan to stand up to their club and demand that this is bought to a halt and really cut the cost of tickets.

Maybe these so-called ‘stars’ should do a day's

work. Malcolm Garbutt Waterloovi­lle
