What pension is this in reference to? I assume you mean the state pension. This quoted article if from the beeb and says that from April 2025 the increase will be 4.1%
'The government has confirmed that the new full state pension will rise by £472 a year from April 2025.
The increase is pegged to wages, which have risen by 4.1%.
'Under an arrangement called the "triple lock", the state pension goes up each year by either 2.5%, inflation, or earnings growth - whichever is the highest figure.'
Salaries and footballers have been discussed for years. Obviously it is a short career, probably maximum of between 12 and 15 years on average. I was thinking about this while walking the dog this morning. Let's say an average championship player (like Jimmy) makes, over his 12 year career an average of 15k per week (a very conservative estimate) plus any bonuses, transfer fees, sponsorship deals. Plus any increased weekly salary during his last 2 or 3 twilight years playing in the U. S. or Saudi etc. So 9.4 million for the 12 years at 15k pw. You can probably add another 2 to 3 million if the player spends some years playing abroad. So around 12million for a 15 year career of just an average player. Of course it is possible for thier career to come to an end through injury, but I imagine these things are covered by the club and the player with insurance. Then take your normal poor working slob who does probably 40 to 45 years before retirement. Maybe an average salary of 70k per an. 45 year working life will make him 3.2 million. So, yep, short career in years but not financially. I know there are other factors like how sensible will an 18 year old be doing what he loves and earning more than half a million a year, but hey we're all responsible for ourselves. OK dog walk finished.
I would imagine that certain people get thier rocks off by trying to make up for thier shortcomings in life by creating a 'bad boy' contrary personnage on some social media platform. They deserve our pity. *

Behind the eight ball means that you are stuck in an awkward of precarious situation. Like in pool if the ball you want to play is behind the 8 ball and difficult to play without accidently holing the 8 ball also.
