Although this is a good gesture, I cannot help but think, why couldn't all the Man united players and AF chip in and offer to pay this tax bill?. But I suppose that's too easy isn't it?. So what does AF come up with?. I will send a team down to play a charity match and let the good old faithful supporters pay the bill for it instead. Pure genius Mr Ferguson you are all heart yet again.
Well some of there wages donated to help out others out would be a good idea after all 200,000k+ per week is a ridiculous amount of money to be getting. I am a good friend of Nobby Stiles and he has just had to sell all his medals just to keep his head above the water. He drives an average car and shops at our local store. Players of today have it really cushy.
Dont doubt that but its the way it is i'm afraid if they all got ?1000 a week none of them would be here
Its unfortunate for the likes of Nobby but its just born from the time he was born, football is big business these days and a far cry from when wages were capped at ?20 pw
if you want to blame anyone blame Jimmy Hill what started as the poor players has turned into the modern game we know today
Football Salary Cap Abolished in England ? The 50th Anniversary | Chiron Sports and Media
Tbf though you cant blame the players they want the best deals possible now or they go elsewhere, agents are crippling the game this in turn cripples the supporters, many now cant afford to go
Where does it go from here though?
Wages capped again? it has to be worldwide thing not just UK or they all go abroad
Then if that happened you have the fat cats like glazers keep all fans money as they wont put prices down thats for sure

From SAF Press Conference Today
Injuries - Only two players are injured. Nani, who came off against Chelsea, last Sunday, is "not serious" but will be out for a couple of weeks. He'll "hopefully be ready for after the Sunderland game (30 March)." Phil Jones is not back yet.
Reading - "Reading are fighting for their lives at the bottom and could come here without a manager. Some things you can never understand and football is full of that and to sack Brian McDermott at this stage is strange to say the least."
Sir Alex also spoke of his surprise and concern at Rio Ferdinand's call-up - full story with quotes coming soon on ManUtd.com - and Rafa Benitez's claim that he walked past and refused to shake hands with the Chelsea boss after last Sunday's match. "It's absolute nonsense, I didn't see him."

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has apologised for a gesture he made towards Leeds fans during Saturday's Championship fixture at Selhurst Park.
Zaha was taunted over his impending transfer to Manchester United and responded by raising his middle finger towards the travelling support.
But he tweeted on Sunday: "I want to apologise for the gesture I did towards the Leeds fans in yesterday's game. Very unprofessional from me."
Zaha, 20, played all of the 2-2 draw.
In January, the England international agreed a five-and-a-half-year deal to join Manchester United. As part of the deal, Zaha will remain on loan at Palace for the remainder of this season.
Manchester United and Leeds remain fierce rivals despite the Yorkshire club's relegation from the Premier League in 2004
