Micah Richards on turning down 100k a week contract 😳 #football #footballshorts #micahrichards

You're trying to poke fun at someone chasing his passion

Then complain money ruins football

[Rharakpj]

At least he tried to go for passion over pounds. Fair play to him. Shame he never had as much game time as he wanted, when you sacrifice a bag full of money for a ball full of air you should be playing as much as you want.

[TheDude]

He should be applauded for that decision! Dude wasn't happy being paid to warm the bench and when all is said and done he's good for cash

[theForacle]

I gotta love his honesty.
He didn't want to pick up a pay cheque, he wanted to earn it.
I know you can't really say footballers earn that money, but he was willing to play for it

[wazeershaik]

Micahs a real G. He chose his passion over money

[northlondonathletic]

Well done Micah - for the sport and not the money

[dannythreethree]

Much respect to Micah from a lifelong United fan.
He is a real one ❤

[Matty]

You have to respect Meeks for making the brave call

[timothybruns]

People always say players only go after the money, Meeks chose the game over money. Respect that he's a real one.

[matthewrobinson]

He didn't care so much about the money. He just wanted to actually play. More players need to be like this

[Honmatres]

Have grown to love Micah over a short time because of his unwavering honesty. Yeah he's loud, yeah he's brash but the man is unapologetically himself. The man just exudes wanting everyone around him to be happy

[harryjones]

As much as people think that Micah is a joker and only cares about the money etc, look at this decision, he didn’t want to be second to anybody and chose passion for the sport over money, any footballer who makes a choice like that should be applauded and appreciated because too many footballers care about money over passion for the sport.

When I have kids I hope I raise them to be like Micah. He played because he loved the game. He won a title, played for his country, SCORED for his country, and he has made an incredible career out of the thing he loves through his passion for the game. As a kid, I chased the dream and didn’t make it, but I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I had and memories I made. I see myself in him. There’s a reason he’s the most loved out of the Champions League crew.

[boum]

If obviously thought being rich rather than very rich was acceptable. Top man Micah❤

[TwistedBloke]

He didn't care about the money... Bless him 🙏🏼

[simonnightingale]

You will never find a single player like that now a days always make money over play!! Instead of play over money Micah Richards I love you more for this move

[toneskiemonk]

I like him more for this decision I like that attitude well played mate Calvin Philips ruined his career for money.

[TJW-YT]

This is taken from two different sites that list players contracts so take it with a grain of salt.

He was on £75, 000/week at Villa. He was there for 4 years before retiring.

It’s not like he was choosing between £100k/week at city or minimum wage in Tesco. Fair play to him for wanting to actually play but let’s not make it into more than it is.

[johnnybravo]

This is why you know Micha is a good man.

[SashaBaron]

I hope someone shows Micah the comments section. It’s pure love and he deserves it. I know we ain’t mostly the “fans from the stands”, u can only pack 80k ish anyway, we are the millions in the world football lovers, only about 10% will make here comments but we all think this: you did one for football over these moneygrabbing generations, respect 👏🏻
