Sadio Mane basically owns a village now but he's not sitting on a throne demanding the serfs bequeath him a percentage of their income. Yet.

Footballers pay way more in taxes than companies and directors, they are working class heroes and agents are allies (RIP Mino).

This is a definite tangent, but I've always wondered what the plan for Salah and Mane is once they can't play anymore. I hope they've set up foundations or some other vehicle to make sure whatever good work they're doing is sustainable.

Mane's basically built a hospital where there was none and passes out regular payments to families in his village. Salah's charity work is apparently similar. Not to sound like a capitalist rear end in a top hat, but I really hope there's a way to continue that without both of them having to work forever and past the point where it's healthy.

EDIT: Would it help to have a "footballers & money" thread where we can discuss stuff like wages and club finances? Maybe we already had one and it died a deserved death due to lack of interest?

Footballers are labor, so anyone who ever sides with the club itself / managment in a wage dispute is a moron.

“Working class”, I dunno lol. That’s complicated.

It's the opposite of that - I don't begrudge Robbie Fowler the opportunity to set his kids up to not have to work in a Little Chef, because if he doesn't then some other fucker will (or he puts his money into an investment fund that does all that with extra steps), and all you're then doing is entrenching existing class systems on a point of principle

You need active political and economic change to restrict that sort of rent-seeking behaviour, rather than just somehow relying on public shaming or posting masturbatory rants about guillotines on a dead gay forum before another 12-hour shift in the fart mines

It’s been confirmed that the player is 29 years old, going to the world cup this year and is being arrested for offenses committed in Marbella, Spain in June.

Partey meets all the above conditions and was in Marbella last month, per his Instagram post.

The person is being investigated for two additional allegations of rape, these committed in April and June 2021 in relation to a different victim.

There's at least 3 different understandings of what class means in the UK.

The one most people understand is just tied to wealth, but there's also the one where anyone who sells their labour is working class.

There's also a sort of caste system of class where a builder born into poverty (or a footballer, perhaps) could gain wealth and transition into having a successful business or a property portfolio and become a wealthy landlord, which would take them out of the 'working class' by the first two definitions, but would never make them good enough to be considered an equal by much of the professional middle class, let alone the upper class.

They themselves will never be, at best they can attain a sort of "pet" status, like minorities that do well, or LGBT etc. The real movement comes with them sending their children to the private schools, those children will be considered oiks, but still one of them. Those children will perhaps definitely be embarrassed by where their parents came from. Imagine having got an assisted place in the 80's, you wouldn't even have the embarrassment of a successful parent.

I used to work with a guy whose son was a Ferrari dealer, so this is 3rd hand hearsay at best, but he would tell stories of how the biggest clients would be taking the piss out of Premier league footballers who only owned four or five supercars and very much viewed them as jumped-up nobodies who weren't and never would be in the big boys club.

Seems as though the unnamed footballer has been further arrested for two more rapes going back to August 2021 and involving a different woman. I guess there was an investigation ongoing and the second accusation triggered the arrest? Either way Arsenal should start looking for a midfielder.
