Amusing from a paper that pays its editor £1.4 million per year.....

He basically appears to be saying that the BBC should follow practices that Manchester United no longer do....

Yes but the BBC have been challenged with massive cost cutting measures , the F1 deal proves it's the viewer who's suffering while executives and performers get paid exuberant amounts of money.

Your factually wrong Hugh Paul Dacre earns more ;-) LOL

The article points out that Man Utd no longer do it, and why.

Of course, such an admirable system, long since abandoned, looks faintly laughable now what with the Russian and Middle Eastern money flooding British football clubs all willing to offer Wayne Rooney more money than the US national debt.

The point the article makes is that there is a lack of other potential employers willing(or able) to pay to the sort of money they currently earn at the BBC. Whereas a good football player has other potential bidders for his talents.
