Footballers: Not paid enough
"...an exasperated Hill-Wood bemoaned the shift of power in football by revealing that the England left back had demanded three times his £27,000-a-week salary to commit to a new deal."
Well if he's not worth it, don't pay him it! No one's forcing you! Other children's entertainers are allowed to apply for other jobs - I don't see why footballers should be prohibited. If Cole provides £81,000 worth of value per week to Arsenal but they are only paying him £27,000, then they are getting £54,000 of Cole for free. If he's worth more to Chelsea or whoever then he should go there with increased wage. Workers should be paid the value of their labour or else it will cushion the mattresses of cigar-smoking bosses.
And I reckon Cheryl Tweedy's high maintenance*.
*She is also the future next Denise Van Outen: you heard it here first.
