Join us in calling for greedy footballers to be given a reality check!

Lets bring an end to ridiculous wages that are in danger of crippling the beautiful game! We’re campaigning to the Football Association, the Premier League and the PFA to bring an end to sky-high salaries.

It defies logic that a Premier League footballer can earn more in a single week than what an NHS nurse would be paid for up to six years of life-saving work or what an Army private would expect to receive for serving almost 7 years on the front lines of Iraq or Afghanistan.

To spread the word of our campaign we are calling on all football supporters to pledge their support and sign the petition to bring down the escalating salaries paid to Premier League footballers.

Sign Our Petition and Bring an End To Wages’ Madness!

All valid pledges will be presented to the major football governing bodies and Downing Street.

Please supply a valid email address and real name, as these will be checked and used when submitting the petition.



After you have added your name to this petition an e-mail will be sent to the given address to confirm your signature. Please make sure that your e-mail address is correct or you will not receive this e-mail and your name will not be counted.

We urge the Football Association, the Premier League and UEFA to take steps to curb the spiralling wages of top level footballers which is destroying the very core appeal of English football competition.
