I agree more money doesn’t automatically mean you deserve or should get more criticism, but the media focus on the big leagues big teams and big players, so the bigger you become with all the trappings that gives you the bigger the microscope becomes on you as an individual, and unfortunately criticism is a huge part of it and part and parcel of the game especially for the bigger players, let’s be honest nobody is interested in Stevenages keeper for a horrendous mistake last week bar their supporters, but plenty are interested in the criticism of Allison or Lloris for their cock ups. Heston Blumenthal what ever his name is who owns the Fat Duck had an out brake of food poisoning a few years back at his restaurant the criticism went crazy the whole country got to no about it, a local restaurant in Swindon gets about of it and nobody knows, because the media aren’t interested.
So in away Sparty has a point the more successful you become the more ferocious the criticism becomes, whether that is right or wrong is another matter but it does work that way.
