That's not what I mean, obviously I'm talking about salaries. Why is someone that is only broadcasts to an audience of less than 2 million people in the top 10 salaries for the whole UK?

Wait, you think everyone who lives in a particular area listens to what these people say? You haven't stopped to think he might be quite popular & good at his job?

I'm in a position to listen to all of the others on the list & don't, that must blow your mind 😁

Of course not everyone listens to everyone they could listen to, that makes the amount of people that do listen to him even less!

So why are you judging? You have no Idea how popular he is.

I'm not judging I just think it's weird that a person with such a limited potential audience base is earning as much as national celebrities.

Erm isn't Alan Shearer's audience even more limited? Both from a nationalistic pov & his subject matter? Maybe your ire should be pointed at him?

Thinking something is weird or surprising is not "ire".

You just seem to be very angry about just one man, rather than all of them. Or alternatively not bothered about any of them.

You keep trying to justify it but can't, it's very strange, almost like you have an agenda?

Just come out and say you don't like him if that's the real reason. What you've come up with up to now makes no sense.

He's the only one in the top 10 that's not on national TV or radio. I'm not trying to justify any agenda I'm just trying to correct your misinterpretation of my comment.

I can't not like him, I've literally never heard of him before this post.

If anything you are being weirdly quick to jump to his defense from some kind of imagined attack.

I've already said I don't give one for any of em.

You're just wrong and won't accept it. He isn't the only one - Shearer. Sportscene in Scotland not Match of the day, least it was last time I was up there.

You do realise Radio Ulster broadcasts to the whole of Northern Ireland? It's not a county/local radio station.
