    Spending the pounds.

    Many footballers will not give a ***** about what league they’re in/ team they’re playing for as long as the money is better.

    If I was a player outside top tier id do exactly the same. The bloke is hitting his 30s too.

    If i was a top international i wouldnt bother chasing the money to china etc though. You'd think they would have plenty by then.

    All about the money. They are all professional footballers after all.
    Looking after his family and doing what we'd all do.

    Yep, I agree completely. The players that are on £200K+ a week, I’m not really sure why they’re spending their money on, I mean there’s only so many cars, houses and holidays you can buy surely. I guess it just means their families won’t ever have to work.

    Just shows how bad the SPL has become.

    Plus Hibs conceding four goals to a team of fishermen.

    Maybe not as bad as you think Conan. Rangers gave Bury 6 recently where as both Liverpool and Everton managed to draw with them. ;)

    I suspect that Salford are throwing silly money at players in the attempt to buy success. It's less than a week ago that Peterborough's chairman was scathing about Danny Lloyd's assertion that he was paid 'peanuts' at Peterborough.

    They clearly are. The wages they're reported to be paying bear no relation to the league they're in.
