Actually it'd be a hulluva lot cheaper to just hire the very top accountants (they are called the senior partners) at KPMG / PWC. You'd have some of the best in the market and a whole team to handle everything for you bending over backwards for £1m.

Some of them, sure, but I suspect a lot of it is plain laziness. They can't be fagged to do anything they can get done for them by someone else, and they have so much money they don't care about shelling out a shedload just so there's someone there to tell them the right way round to sit on the bog.
I read an article a while ago about this study of first and second division footballers in Sweden. Apparently success was pretty closely correlated with intelligence - clubs seem to be like the army in that sense, testing everything including IQ etc. Virtually all second division footballers were above average intelligence (I think it was about 110 or 115 IQ) and virtually all first division players were above the average intelligence of second division players. And the best players in each division tended to be the most intelligent.
Truly scary stuff lol.
I cannot accept there's a category in the world in which Kyle Walker is in the top grouping for intelligence. Without football he'd probably be in care.
I'm guessing it's a case of intelligence being important but athleticism being more important. So if you've got a truly outstanding athlete like Walker then a slightly lower mental acuity might be adequate.
Jack Grealish makes Beckham seem like Einstein. I'm not sure that's right at all.
As I recall, most IQ tests test a person's ability to intuitively recognise patterns in shapes and other visual cues, at speed.
I can imagine that this would be important in football, especially the 'thinking on the spot' part. Most footballers may not possess the academic prowess of us on this forum, but they are able to instantly process tasks that would take a physicists hours, analyzing the patterns in opponents' body movements, computing the likely position of their teammates in the next 0.2 seconds and calculating the speed and trajectory of a ball. All while James Milner is running at them.

It's definitely surprising.
The top division players have more intelligent agents and its deffo the agents doing everybody's IQ tests.
What Rose really meant to say.
Fuck me Darwin! CK's? Looks like a right oily tart to me...... I'm off to think about that pic in a secluded dark room...
What's wrong with CKs, eh? What's wrong??
@Red Astaire is more of a "Fruit of the Loom" guy.
Fruit of the Loom? - Decent. I'm more of a Aserlin's Briefs guy. It's the 3D convex pouch that sets them apart. @Holle CK's fo sho.... Aserlins for a pro 😉..... 😀
Oh no, Darwin evoked Carroll. Now he's channeling...
