You waz robbed!
Taking £6 pw as average wage, the Milne was paid 7* that.
Ave Wage now ~£400, then top players now should be on ~£2,880 pw.

£43 a week.......he was overpaid!

£150,000 per week = £900 per hour (approx) [including sleeping hours], which some of these prima donnas do during the game. It's time the fans woke up.
