SIR – FIFA reports that the average annual salary of footballers is £153,815.
The average transfer fee is just under £1million.
In 2011 a total of £1.9billion was spent on transfer fees.
Yet most clubs have a struggle to survive or go into liquidation such as Port Vale, Portsmouth and Rangers.
Is it any wonder?
