As a fan paying them, do you feel you have the right to complain about a players wages?

After a shocking display against Fulham, Chris Samba has been receiving angry tweets about his reported £100,000 a week. In reply, he's told them to "get over it".

In my mind the fans have every right to complain about it. The club are as much to blame as the player for handing out ridiculous wages in the first place, but surely a player receiving this kind of money has to accept that he's constantly going to be under scrutiny, especially as QPR are in the position that they are.

No. You're paying for the food, in the same way as you are paying to see the football. Part of the cost of the food will go towards the chef's salary, but you don't expect to have a say in how big a salary he gets.

We could say this about any company out there really.

People buy there products so think they should have a say because they are helping that company to keep afloat,it just doesn't happen in the real world but when it comes to football fans feel they have a say for some strange reason.

IMO its ok to have a opinion on how it is being run on a forum but to write to club / VT & hold protests are just a joke and proof that them people are thinking they are somebody important like AA does but he are starting to notice that the club doesn't give a fck about his 40 years membership because there are loads of people happy to take his ticket & that his views on the club are as valid & important as the fan that bought his first ever City ticket last weekend.
