    I like how they get listened to. 1% pay rise for nurses and firefighters? Nahh.. not important.

    Gotta feel for them, Premier average transfer in Summer was around £17 million.
    How anybody should be expected to live on only £1.7 million per transfer is beyond me.
    In 2020 society should be better than this and should be up in arms in support.
    Get the yellow vests out!!!!

    Employers can't do that without agreement.

    My point exactly. A normal, working class bloke on minimum wage is scoffed at but these pointless cretin agents will get what they want

    I could live off £1.7m for the rest of my life and never have financial worries again. What do they do with it all?

    when I was a student scaping by on a grant (which existed in those days) I thought if only I had an extra £20 per week things would be great
    When I first started working I had just enough to live on and thought if only I had an extra £50 per week things would be great
    When I bought my first house I could just afford a 1 bed starter home - oh for an £500 per month
    .....
    Now my mortgage is paid off and I have a good salary - another £1000 per month would be great though

    most of us spend it if we have it - buy nicer cars or houses, go on better holidays

    I guess the same applies when you are raking in a few million in commission every year - though I cant say as a fact based on experience
