Rodgers' wife wants 51 house and half his wages.

Indeed. Bringing up children is far harder and more worthwhile.


It's not harder, though, is it?

Most women can bring up children, given appropriate means and support.

Hardly any men can pull in a few million a year.

What Rodgers did was at least 100 times more difficult.
 
Erm, no. By that logic it's feasible to say any stay at home mum who's husband works at a career for the length of their marriage with kids is entitled to some of the financial benefits that career has given him, no matter what that career is.
It's a very logical argument, I'm surprised you don't agree.



I don't understand why she's entitled to a percentage. Is she a fucking tax collector or something?

Let's say she does the exact same job with the kids etc but he fucks up and ends up managing Blyth Spartans. By what natural system of justice does she 'deserve' millions of quid for him doing one thing and fuck all for him doing another?

...Er, the rather angry-looking gentleman in the...Oh, I'm sorry, we've run out of time. Andy Burnham, reluctantly, has to return to the Westminster Bubble; Owen Jones is needed at the University of the Third Age, where he's booked to explain what the 1970s were like to people who, unlike him, actually lived through them; Yasmin Alibhai Brown has someone or other to treat like a racist piece of shit; Keith Vaz has fourteen dinners, er, I mean, committee meetings to attend; and I still have no idea who the comedian is on the end there but presumably she's going somewhere or other as well once we've packed up. So thank you all very much for attending. Next week we'll be in Birmingham, where among our panelists will be the disc jockey Mike Read, the posh bloke Tristram Hunt and an ex-footballer who is actually quite intelligent because he now wears glasses, and no doubt you'll all clap again like lobotomised accountants no matter how contrary you end up sounding. Goodnight!

I'm sure the argument is, Peter, that she, in some way, created or helped create the conditions whereby Rodgers was able to build a successful career from the devastating blow of having to quit professional football at the age of 20 and follow a different and more difficult path in football with a young family to bring up.

So yes..... I think she can reasonably argue that she should get the benefit of "some" of that success. A percentage seems to be as fair a way as any.

She'd still be due a percentage if he'd made a right balls up of his career.

It's a bullshit argument. A flat amount is much more reasonable.

No it isn't - it makes no sense.

Maybe she was a poisonous cunt who made his life a living hell - took control of every penny he earned and pissed it up against the wall.

Maybe she was devoted, making sacrifices at every turn to make it all work and come together.

It's not a service with billable hours she provided.

She deserves more or less depending on what she put into it to make it all successful.
 
At the end of the day, if she hadn't become such a big fat cunt he might still have shagged other birds but he probs wouldn't have fucked off. Thus it's all her fault.
 
How does a court decided open the % of assets to hand over to other half, and the future assets?
'Oh, she was lovely, always cooked his tea - give her 50%'
'Oh she was a nagging cow, never did nothing for him - give her 40%'

?

How can they convert emotion in pounds sterling? Is there a formula? If there is, it seems to be badly worked as it doesn't seem possible to get the result to zero regardless of what you feed in. Even if she's been fucking the poor blokes brother and dad at the same time behind his back, she still gets paid.

I guess, Mors, they'd look at things like how long they were together, what possible career prospects and therefore future earning potential she or he gave up, whether there are kids involved, their ages, what were the circumstances of the breakup, why does it need to go to court for someone external to make a judgement..... I dunno.... difficult to quantify and piece together things that require someone with half a brain and no emotional or financial stake in it all to have a think about.

At a guess....
