I wasn't unaware that not all footballers make the big time. My youngest daughter is training to be a musician, an industry that has a similar dynamic.
What did surprise me was that the PFA needs to sell off a unique piece of art to fund its' charitable work. The £8 million they hope it will sell for (which will no doubt be significantly less than that when fee's and commissions have been deducted), is relatively small change at the top end of the business.
It seems to me that the offices of the PFA is a perfectly good place for the Lowry to reside - it would be a shame if it ends up living in a shipping container owned by an oligarch in some freeport.
