@GenieInstantane There's still results-based bonuses up to 500k each if they win the thing.
Doesn't add up to more than a week or two's wages for the best-paid but it's still significant money.
@u_Thato 50m for an english player for squad rule reasons is pretty cheap.
You need to compare him to the next best english one that's available, not just anyone.
@CrypticTano He's incredibly well-regarded. The price is for him to lend his prestige to your movie more than to sell tickets.
You pay him that and he does your big-budget movie instead of the arty stuff he'd clearly rather be doing.
@Boxy_FT The entire prologue, and construction of the cast, in The Canterbury Tales is a vehicle for Chaucer to moan that nobody actually practices religion sincerely.
@Steve__Paxton This is why a lot of us really can't stand the Southgate love-in.
The league got better, the players got drastically better coaching in club football but him managing them while they mostly just beat teams they were supposed to beat is the one who deserves all the credit?
@HWestwoodP No point in keeping a player who's seemingly given up on making it at the club and wants out.

@ketaminedrams Reason I stopped listening to those podcasts was that it was obvious that I, a very casual fan outside of my own club, was paying more attention to other games than the journalists
@AntifaCostanza Yeah. Not medical specifically but genius with people issues solves x was a big procedural wave.
Obviously stuff like Monk also influenced it
