Whilst amusing, i do think it's a little ingenuous to just ignore the fact they've won 4 FA Cups in the last 10 years

So, Peps wife, who is divorcing Pep because he focussed on football too much, is taking half his wealth, half of the properties and the biggest mansion. All that was 99% probably purchased with the money he earnt from focussing on football. Marriage is ******** sometimes.

On the flip side if you are away from home all the time and focus 100% on your career is it really that much of a surprise that the marriage breaks down?
I know Fergies kids never really saw much of him and gave so much of himself to the club that his personal life suffered as a result.
And shes raised his 3 children, uprooted them to come to England. Supported him for years, kept his home and likely given up any career or hope of a career in future. Anyone who is wildly wealthy is getting paid silly money due to the industry they happen to be in. The fact he is so wealthy is because he is good at what he does but also because of the sheer amount of money in football. Does he deserve that amount of money? Hell no. Should his wife of many years get half that money? Perhaps not but she should sure as hell get a very good chunk of it.

"Oh hello - is that the Allardyce household? Could I speak to Big Sam please. My name is Ratcliffe. Jim Ratcliffe. Yes please tell him it's urgent."
Spot on, I get tired of this attitude from blokes who are too dense to realise a lot of women give up their own careers and aspirations with zero security should the marriage fail and somehow they should just be grateful they had it "good" for so long.
I don't disagree with your sentiment but surely they're rich enough to afford cleaners, chefs and child care?

While it would be great to see any or all of Everton, Spurs and Man Utd get relegated, I don’t think it will happen.

I would take it, just for the salary and the huge payout for when you inevitably get sacked.
