Manchester City’s Wayne Bridge Paid £90,000 A Week To Do Nothing
By Alan Duffy
It’s a hard life for former England left-back Wayne Bridge. Having been left out of Manchester City’s Champions League squad, he currently find himself in a football purgatory and has not played for the first team since last December.
Forced to train on his own, John Terry’s ex-mate must cut a rather lonely, if not tragic figure at City. However, the fact that he is picking up £90,000 a week (£4.7million a year) must ease the pain somewhat (as must his current relationship with Frankie from the Saturdays).
Indeed, considering that the Alderley Edge resident is now in his thirties and with an eventful career already behind him, why shouldn’t he just coast for a few seasons? Is it such a crime? Why should he look to move to another club? Forget all that “losing his hunger” nonsense, he’s just a professional getting paid big bucks. Good luck to Mr Bridge, England’s very own Winston Bogarde.

Ah yes, Wayne Bridge
A once future potential Sex God understudy apprentice, but failed to live up to that potential.
More like Paid to be shit.
I doubt he could have been a future sex god if his ex cheated on him with John Terry.
Edgar, pray tell, how does can your EX cheat on you? The guy is a whiner and mediocre footballer
He is lesser than Bez…
My favorite is the notion that he’s good going forward. One season recently he put in some 50 odd crosses, zero of which reached a teammate
a Bridge too far for City
but he’s doing as much now he’s not playing as he did when he was playing………………fuck all…….tatsy bit of totty though

It’s spelled ‘Purgatory’. Grammar Nazi mode off.
