TBI 2,351 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 #48 TBI, If these wage increases continue and with the very clever marketing that is adopted over fans merchandise then all this opulence becomes unsustainable. Some fans inevitably will become disengaged and will disappear, because ultimately it is the fan that pays the wage. Yep, that was me! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 If you think footballers' salaries are stupid, what about the art world? It's obscene that anyone would pay this much money for a painting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31183733 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Whoever paid that much are presumably happy. But to me it's bonkers, that looks like a painting-by-numbers. I see Jackson Pollock is fifth most expensive 'artwork' at £73m. Yes, definitely Pollocks! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
