Samuel Eto'o is playing for Anzhi Makhachkala in Dagestan. £1.458.333. Per month. £364.583. Per weekk. £52.083. Per day. £2.170. Per hour. £36.16. Per minute. 60p. Per Second. And for 6 of those days he's doing nothing and for the one day he does something its only for 90 minutes!
A regular British or American soldier works 7 days a week 24/7 and is risking there life and only earning around £267 a week in Phase 1 training, which rises to at least £17,265 a year depending on which Army job they do. Some roles get specialist pay, which can be worth at least an extra £19 per day.
There salary will increase annually as there career continues, regardless of promotion and extra responsibilities.
Within five years they could reach the rank of Sergeant and earn up to £32,756 a year where as Samuel Eto'o earns £1,749,999,6 a year and that would take The Sergeant more than 35000 years of his life to earn that kind of wage which is a sickening though thinking that he is fighting for his country nearly losing his life when a footballer is kicking a footbal around for 90 minutes getting paid them wages

So please quote me if you entirely agree that Soldiers should get paid more than footballers

R.I.P To All the fallen soldiers both American,British and all our other allies who lost there lives in war fighting for there country. :frown:

The problem isn't football players being paid too much its everyone in the entertainment business being paid too much. Eto will be paid $ 29 Million a year (US) while Leonardo DiCaprio was paid $77 Million (US) to make 2 movies.

Yeah they do. Imagine what a world without police would be like, now imagine what a world without soldiers would be like.

Yeah a world without soldier there would be loads of people bombing us now think mate

They don't broadcast wars for people to watch, otherwise they would make more money.

Team Six groaning doesn't bother me it's something i believe should be changed in society and its my opinion :fa:

There are pro's and cons but mainly i agree with you.

So true, But no one will ever change that.
It's the same with A LOT of sports, ie F1..


Would be nice if people who done sports as a job got a little less & soldiers get a little more.


But that's life :/

I've read through most of this thread and the posts, and I think it's ridiculous that you're all painting the footballers out to be the guilty party here. It's not their fault that their employers are choosing to pay them extortionate wages, which have become overly inflated by the likes of Manchester City who are paying incredible wages to attract talented footballers, when perhaps their prospects of winning trophies aren't enough to pull them in (although this scenario has changed with City now as they are competing for trophies).

Also, I don't see how a footballer's wage is in any way correlated to what someone from the army is paid. I disagree with footballer's being paid so much but for the sake of football, and the football clubs without a rich owner, not because someone from the army is paid less. Nobody needs the silly money they're paid, but you could argue that someone from the army deserves to be paid more - that's fine to suggest, but where is it going to come from? If they raised taxes I'm sure there'd be a less-than-pleased reaction because there are thousands who can't afford to pay more, barely scraping by.

People choose to join the army, fully knowing how much they are paid and what is at stake, I have a lot of respect for them because I know I would never have the courage to enlist, but I wouldn't say I feel sympathy for them because they're not paid as much as footballers. In an idealistic world they should be paid more, or the same, but footballer's work for their wages; whether they deserve that much is obviously questionable, but they're doing nothing wrong.

Yeah, i agree with you.
