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.

"Its digusting how much they get paid, dodging the taliban in Afganhistan and dealing with real and important problems deserves more than chasing a ball round a strip of grass."
Peter O\'Sullivan,
"Nobody can Justify to me why a teenager should be paid over a million pounds a year."
Matt Richardson,
"They will never that much money and are just being greedy. Surely the money could be better used elsewhere. I think a lot of people are starting to resent this behaviour especially when things are hard for most people at the moment."

"Apply a hard salary cap with the parameters set according to sustainable income sources. Exempt from the salary cap would be home-grown players developed from the club's academy. This would incentivise clubs to rely on talent developed locally."

"I think that Football players should have a wage cap of 40,000 a week. They need this. Players Sponsorship should have a wage cap also. Paisley once said: Sponsers, they'll be wanting to pick the team next!""

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.
