Or more to the point, if someone offered you £100k per week why would you turn it down to sign for £80k per week?
because £80k a week doesnt exactly make you poor, these arent guys on the breadline trying to ensure futures for their kids
if you were talking those figures a year i can understand it, but when players are making huge sideways steps or even backwards steps to city i find it hard to put it down to anything other than greed
That doesn't answer the question.
If you were offered £100k per week or £80k per week, which would you choose?
It's very well sniffing at it, but it's their living. They are going to try and do as well out of it as possible.
It depends on the variables. Does the place offering 80k a week have it's positives? i.e. Travelling time, location and area, reputation etc...
For example, living in Dudley, if West Bromwich Albion offered me 80k a week to play for them, and I had Stoke City offering 100k a week to play for them, i'd accept the WBa offer.
