Balls !!

Talking to a friend the other day, and whilst I am not interested in Football, it came up in conversation. My friend told me that Rooney received £350.000 PER WEEK. So my question is, is anyone worth that obscene amount of money for kicking a ball of wind around for 90 mins?.
Also, when a Team plays badly, why do they get rid of the Manager?, surly its the Team thats at fault.
Comments?.
