There's an eight-minute scene of two guys sitting in the living room, talking and smoking weed and watching TV and then there's a guy getting his foot shot off. We didn't exactly have a specific role-model film.

Figures for the 2006-2007 season put the league's annual wage bill at about $3 billion and its total revenues a little over $3.8 billion, with only eight of the Premiership's 20 clubs reporting an operating profit. Revenues have increased, thanks to a new TV deal, but so too have wages.
