Vince Cable: footballers deserve lavish pay, bankers don't

All banks?
Didn't you tell us you were a permie on £30K. There's a reason for that.

He's got 30K of our money?

Nah, it's much cuter - they've got maybe £300k of the money belonging to future generations when inflation and interest payments are taken into account.

Most investment banks have branches in London. Most were NOT bailed out, although in the US some banks were forced to take money in case. Those that could paid that back as soon as they could.

You cretins are so dumb you fall for any witch-hunt going. You're manipulated by politicians and special interest groups and you're too thick to figure it out

Fuck me. I've just found myself reading a sasguru post, nodding and agreeing.

You've only made 23,137 posts on here in total, so at best you'd get just over what you supposedly get from Olympics rent of your eco shed

Bankers are paid with your money, whether you are an investor or simply have a bank account.

Footballers aren't.

I hope this helps the argument, but I doubt it.

So now even unborn children are entitled to free money? It's benefits gone mad!

No they aren't. Bankers USE your money to generate more money for themselves.

And are you sure there is no banking money funding the Barclays Premier League?

I thought everyone gets paid with your money regardless. If I buy a Pot Noodle then any monies, travel, shop, article, etc. that I have laid out on go back up the chain eventually to the originating source. In that chain will, of course, be the persons involved in the manufacturing, sale, etc. of the end product who would get a portion of my expenditure.

You have little choice than to use the banking system and provide bankers with your money to play with, and to get paid with.

You do have the choice to take or leave football, and take or leave the bank that sponsors them.
