    When will enough become enough. Spoke to a bloke who has been involved in footy (professionally) for 40 odd years......he says bungs for players have been part of football for years. There will be hardly anyone left in the game if a proper investigation was carried out!
    Not excusing our own though ...bad day for us....hope we are strong.

    Greed isn't just a football issue, although it is a fundamental issue in football. How many times do we read people on here who would take more money if they could.

    I never get the comment when people say 'footballers have a short career so need to earn a lot' that comment is indicative of football. Yet they have the same career span as everyone else, with an opportunity to earn more than the average bloke for a period of their career. They have the same number of years as the rest of us to continue working after football but it seems the culture is to retire at 32.

    Totally agree....look at our banking culture.
    The regulators need regulating!
    Far too much money in footy.....where there is big money it kind of attracts all the wrong kind of people

    For the greedy man, there is never enough.
