what about the complete lack of private life they have? not exactly the best way to bring a kid into the world if you settled down and started a family.
agree they get paid way too much though, while firemen, police, army etc get paid sod all in comparison.

Complete lack of private life in what respect? There is a million examples of high profile footballers not courting controversy and living their lives in complete peace.
When was the last time Paul Scholes has his picture taken in a private setting?

Not sure what you're getting at, although I could guess, but I won't
EDIT: Actually I will. It's either because I don't like football, or possibly because I spoke like Yoda in my last post? haha

It's all very well talking about footballers being paid too much, but they're 2 entirely different businesses, you could say the same about all these bankers whose salaries dwarf footballers, but no one ever compares them.

Upper tax threshold should be 95% at £100k
Bonuses should be taxed at 99% over £10k
That's more than enough for any human.
They can use all that spare money to pay front line nurses what they deserve.
