EPL: If not for football, you’d work in fast food restaurants – Simon Jordan slams Man City star, others
Former Crystal Palace owner, Simon Jordan has reacted to a fresh deal offered to Phil Foden by Manchester City.
Four-time Premier League champion, Phil Foden is set to sign a whopping £225,000-a-week deal at City
The proposed contract would see the 22-year-old Foden earn £225,000-a-week and over £10m in a year.
And Jordan appeared to be flabbergasted by the England international’s impending new salary.
“The average person won’t earn what he earns in one year in 300,” Jordan said on talkSPORT.
Jordan, a former club owner, said that himself and others in the business get fed up when football stars such as Foden do not appreciate how fortunate they are.
“They walk around like impending doom, like the world’s on their shoulders.
“If it wasn’t for football, some of these guys would be working in fast food restaurants.
“But £10million a year is unbelievable,” he added.
