I agree with the sentiments above. I actually like James MacLean for his attitude, his passion on the pitch (occasionally this can be a disadvantage!!) and for his views off it, particularly his willingness to put something back into his community. However, I also think James, and nearly all his colleagues, live in a football bubble whereby they haven't quite grasped that £35,000 per annum is probably about 50% above the average salary in the UK, let alone £35,000 per week. I just think these guys live their lives in a world of comparison and status - I'm sure that Ronaldo has worked out that 9 million euros a year is a pretty good salary and that he can probably live off that but if Real Madrid decided to sign Jake Livermore on 10 million euros per annum - stay with me, its just an example
- then Christiano would spit feathers and demand an increase to re-establish himself as top dog. So, come on James, even on half of your salary as a result if relegation, you'll be earning close to £1 million per annum, I don't think your family will be visiting a food bank in the near future.
By the way, Livermore to Real Madrid is the new rumour - sounds crazy but they have previous, just remember the signings of Steve McManaman and Jonathan Woodgate.
