Question: Is this what football is about????

Just read an article, that the England WAGS have decided to station themselves at Anahita resort in Mauritius.
So...................run these figures through your brains and be amazed about the gap between Players & WAGS to us The Fans.
It is stated that the WAGS will have booked into the 'Resort' for up to two weeks BEFORE a ball is kicked, and have booked provisionally for the whole month of the tournament. So that in my book means around 45 each.
Now comes the maths.
22 players so we expect 22 WAGS too.
22 x 45 = 990 nights @ £1600 per night = £1.584000
They reckon that the RESORT is a five hour flight to and from SA. Hopefuly if England play to the final we will play around seven games. So 22 WAGS x 7 return flights around the £1000 per flight = £154,000
Then there are the initial return flights to the Resort as well, and after some very brief research FIRST CLASS is around £4500 each x 22 = £99,000
So................As Cappelo has banned the WAGS from being around the team for the duration, It presupposes that the FA will pick up the Tab of £1,837000
BTW these figures will be trebled when you take into consideration the backroom staff flights, accomodation etc.
DON'T even consider the 22 team players costs...................... The mind boggles.
