players dont get paid thier full wage when they are banned you numpty. They get fined by the club and FA.

I am pretty sure players do get paid when banned. That would come down to their contracts. The FA don't fine them as a matter of course. The club has discretion to fine a portion of wages (agreed with the PFA) and they obviouslt forfeit any match fee but they will still be paid their huge basic.

Players' fines never amount to or exceed what they earn during their ban.

E.g. was Suarez fined the equivalent in weeks' wages when he recevied an 8 match ban? no chance.

Also, the VAST majority of player bans are due to simple red or double yellow offences which don't necessarily carry any fine whatsoever - i.e. they still earn their full wages during the ban.

yeah Busby but not proportionate with the ban.
If Rooney got a 3 week ban would he be fined 750,000 ?
not a chance.

It should be wages not paid whilst a player is banned don't you think Siempre?
