A present from their Chairman.

[Charnwood]

These 19 BMWi8 cars were gifts from the Leicester City Chairman and were parked waiting for the players on their return to work for the new season. Can you imagine the fun watching the players look for their car after the match.

That is an excellent story in amongst all the Shyte news recently. People will no doubt moan that these players earn too much anyway, but I see this as a gift to those lads......, and rightly deserved. Very nice touch by the Leicester chairman. Wouldn't be surprised if some Leicester charities make some money when some players auction them off.

They only cost about £100k each Marko, not even a weeks wages for Vardy and probably only two weeks pay for the lowly paid but it's still a lovely touch by the boss.

Not a bad days work for Sytners the local BMW dealership either.

Do these come in blue & white? I'm sure ME will oblige if our boys win the Championship, yeah???

[hallamblue]

I think its a lovely gesture too. ......expect our lot would all be given a Tractor each...and they cost in excess of £100k, so not a cheap option !

[marko69]

Will these tractors be able to turn faster than Tommy Smith, Hallam? If not, forget it.

Can appreciate the gesture, Leicester City have achieved something they will never duplicate, but while someone brought to attention the issue of wages, took the time to look into last seasons EPL competitors and you'd be surprised at the findings.

It's been touched on before the problem with clubs paying their star assets asinine amounts of money - and all for kicking a f**king ball around for one and a half hours a week - and in an ideal world, you'd have each individual donating half of their "earnings" to charity and research each week (think of the difference it could make) but the pity is, it's an idea that will never be implemented or see the light of day. Granted there may be a select few who donate a proportion of salary to good causes, but with such infrequent regularity, or to such a small extent, that no significant difference will ever be achieved.

Keep in mind also people such as law enforcement, medics, surgeons etc, who save lives every day and make a relevant contribution to people's lives, who only receive a fraction of these stupid - if not belligerent - figures, and it's no wonder people may lose interest in the game.

Bottom line, none of the aforementioned names are going to be giving a f*ck about poor little Johnny in Uganda who doesn't have adequate drinking water, or sufficient living conditions, when they're picking up their paycheck and make for shopping at their favorite mall..

Someone needs to implement a salary restriction on these figures before it all gets out of hand (if indeed it hasn't already)

[marko69]

Not so long ago, Bournemouth nearly went out of the football league and no doubt had debts to pay around the 55K mark. Now they have players on 55K a week? Weird world!

I agree wages are way too high and probably should be capped however im sure they do more than kick a ball for one and a half hours each week. If Town could afford it and want to compete then i guess we would all be happy to have these players at the going rate.
