Strikers have the highest average annual salary in the SPL, with £ 806,000, while midfielders earn about £ 754,000.
Defenders earn £ 653,000 on average and goalkeepers make £ 533,000.
F or most people £ 138, 000 would be there dream weekly salary but for John terry it is a reality. Also he is only just one in thousands of other football players. For fans life is now harder to buy a ticket because they are raised due to the incomprehensible amount of money paid to these football players. Most of them don’ t deserve this dirty money as they can’ t even do their job correctly: Fernando Torres is a good example as he is played to score goals and last season he scored 7 goals in at least 20 appearances. His salary is a breathtaking 17 million a year which is manly spent on junk and other unnecessary

I n conclusion, it is clearly visual that the pay is outrageous for theses so called‘ superstars’.
This situation should be looked into further depth by professionals and funding should be slashed by the government. Players such as Messi should think presently what their mountain of cash could be used for, rather than wasted on luxuries. Charities gaining large payments could benefit millions of people in poverty. I think football players paid excessively, do you?
