The Ajax kid who collapsed on the pitch and went into comma, with his career finished, was he overpaid?
let me paint a picture for you. If a player's performance brings in 100%, the club's take 70-80% and give the player less than 30-20%. It reminds me of how law firms bill clients and pay associates. They bill a client $450-$890 per hour for the work an associate does. On pay day, the Associate is probably making between $80-$150 per the hour the associate billed and the law firm pockets the rest.
Let me tell you the secret, absolutely NO PROFESSIONAL IN THIS WORLD is overpaid!

No soccer player would morally make that argument seating at home collecting 80,000 weekly pay, contract apart -
You assume that players get paid for the work they do on a daily basis. A contract relies on the word done, during the life of the contract.
How about those Americans who are sitting at home collecting unemployment checks, after being laid off? Should they be made to work before they get their unemployment payment? Also, what should the club do with the Insurance monies the club is collecting from insurance payment?

knowing fully well that your average fan Who buys stickers Season in season out or the stadium vendors make About or below minimum wage.
First of, season tickets do not pay player's salaries. Secondly, the fan and the vendors should go and play football as well, so they can get paid a footballer's salary. No one has ever stopped a fan or vendor from trying to become a footballer. Additionally, no one has ever forced a fan to buy a season ticket. If you dont want to buy season ticket, watch the game on streaming. I have never bought season ticket in my life. In fact, the only time I have ever paid to watch my home team, Bendel Insurance, was because my father bought a ticket for me. Other times, I climbed fence to see the game.

The institution you speak about are those fan base hence they are not institutions at all. How many clubs are listed on the stock exchange
I think you have jumbled your question. When a club is listed on the stock market, it is likely owned by fans. However, most clubs are privately owned. Owned by rich men who have insured their clubs and are collecting insurance pay out.
Let me also make this clear, I couldn't care less if the clubs were owned by the fans. My investments are also suffering the dire financial climate, that is the circumstances of the time in which we live.
