Is it naive of me to underestimate greed in football?
Because I think if you're a player, manager or football agent why the need for this greed when they already earn thousands upon thousands every week? OK maybe agents don't get paid as often as the former two but they still earn enough from their fees from transfers.
Take Warnock for example, he's been managing for over 30 years now so must be a multi millionaire which probably comes from the dozen or so times he will have been paid up from being sacked.
According to Kilgallon in an Undr the Cosh podcast Warnock used to (maybe still does) charges his senior players a small fee when they don't fancy playing in a midweek reserve game.
So what's the motivation for an extra £60 when he's already a millionaire??

I think it all stems from lack of intelligence. I don't think anyone will dispute that footballers are generally a bunch of thickos and the managers and agents we are talking about are in the main ex-footballers. None of it surprises me in the least.
