    Too far?

    I would happily be paid £259,000 for voicing over a single episode.

    Like footballers pay, this shows how disconnected many people are from reality. In terms of what people are worth.

    Im sure with current technology you could just recreate their voices pretty effectively anyway
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    I heard about this. $4,000,000 a year for voicing a show that was last funny in 2001 seems like a pretty good deal to me.

    That nonsense has been spouted ever since footballs maximum wage was abolished.

    No one holds a gun to my heard to buy Sky (I don't subscribe) or force me to go to the match.

    The "talent" - Rooney, Matt Groening et al, get the rewards because their labour generates a torrent of $'sss and £'sss

    No one goes to Old Trafford to watch Malcolm Glazer.

    Fergie isn't immortal. Without the success on the field. The Glazers fragile property empire would collapse. Players hold the power now.

    Players do hold the power, but successful or not, it will take well over £1.5 billion to buy United. The clubs debts are easily manageable.

    They are a trophy asset, just like Newspapers were in the past.

    Players do hold the power - hence they get the rewards, but successful or not, it will take well over £1.5 billion to buy United. The clubs debts are easily manageable.

    Everyone is paid what they are worth.

    A cleaner is paid what they are worth
    Wayne Rooney is paid what he's worth
    Dan Castellaneta is paid what he's worth

    Buying the club is a different issue to the club funding itself to compete at the top level.
