In modern day football, many of the sports star players are paid massive salaries. Some players are more like Hollywood film stars rather than professional sportsmen. That is when the fame and fortune goes to the footballers head. There have been many instances of players becoming very popular and courted by other clubs. This can make some individuals think they are more important than their employers.
It might be different in some countries but in English football no player is bigger than the club itself. Players come and go regardless of how good they might be but football clubs have existed for as long as the sport itself. The two go hand in hand and that will never change. For this reason alone clubs are far more important than individual players. When a player believes he is bigger and more powerful than the club it is a slap in the face to everyone.
Players would do well to remember the time, effort and hard work that managers and coaching staff devote to their development. These people are unsung heroes and rarely get any credit for their endeavours. Sadly this is all too often forgotten as the star player is usually more concerned with his own publicity and celebrity status.
Professional football is a very lucrative career these days. Because the wages have risen so much some players have started behaving like spoilt children. These footballers are a selfish bunch and are only interested in one thing. They ought to remember just who is paying their wages. Football supporters ultimately fund the player wages and deserve to be given some respect in return.
The vast majority of English football supporters would agree that no player is bigger than the club itself. Some football players have been guilty of biting the hand that feeds them. This does not go down well with the average fan that will spend a considerable sum of money supporting their favourite team. No matter how famous or wealthy a player becomes they should respect the club and what it has done for their career.
