Day 6 of Relegation
By: j | May 29th, 2009Day six of the Newcastle’s new world of relegation starts a great deal more sobering. I have tempered my venom quite a bit, typed, edited and re-typed but still my anger spills over so please excuse me. While mulling over a list of players salaries amassing £887k per week, the club eliminated 120 administrative positions today.
I apologize if this insults Football fans but there isn’t a single player anywhere that can ease the sorrow of a family when a member loses their job. I care little of the little darlings who make more than the average annual salary of their fans each week, regardless of their ability on the pitch when men and women lose their jobs. I’ve never felt comfortable how the upper tiers of modern Football have escalated salaries to the extent that there is no commonalty with their many fans and this cuts like a razor through the community. The economic downturn in the area has been a painful one but this strikes hard and should any player, one single player debate why he shouldn’t take a massive pay cut, I suggest they visit the families who will have difficulty putting food before their loved ones.
As management considers the salary list, including players they want to keep on the squad, they need to remember the families who know face a more challenging financial future. This isn’t the responsibility of a Football team but a corporate citizen and respecting the many lives they impact. That being said, any player who isn’t willing to accept a notable cut in wages to help people get back to work will never be respected in my books of account.

It’s not surprising that some of your players have been more than willing to say they want to stay at St James’ when they can get 3 or 4 times more than any sensible team would pay them there. I hope you offload the highest earners who did not earn their wages. Good luck in next years (most competitive) Championship.

i feel your pain. I am a Real Betis FANATIC and for me this is day two of our humiliating relegation to la segunda that was decided by one goal. Its really true the way they always compare us to each other. Two giant underachievers. I hope Newcastle the best and pray that they as long with My BETIS return to top flight Football. WHo knows, Maybe well meet you in europe in a few seasons.
