I can hardly get my head around the prospect of earning £100,000 in seven days. Frank Lampard gets that much just for hoofing the ball way over the bar ten times a match. Who said life was fair?
Anyway, Chelsea have told Lampard that they won’t be offering him a new, improved contract – in the light of the midfielder’s abject performances for England at the World Cup, I’m surprised they haven’t offered him a new, reduced contract.
Is there anyone out there who thinks Lampard is worth that much money? If not, how much would you pay him?
