Sure, you deserve that money, but it's not as if it's going to make you any happier. If Milan offer me five million a year to play for them and Juve offer me three, I'd choose Juve in a heartbeat.
Its not the same, you have to equate the same principle to your own job...
You are a fan, its completely different... you also do not have their money or the same lifestyle to maintain through maybe 50 years of retirement rather than your average mans 20 years of retirement... Plus keeping your children in the lifestyle they have been brought up with throughout their lives to.
Its far harder to adjust to having more money than it is to survive with less than you have been used to throughout your life.
No to mention with the lifestyle professional footballers and their families have these days... It aint hard to spend 5 mil a year... in fact its pretty damn easy...
Its all relative to the career in question and the lifestyle that comes with said career...
No one should bemoan a footballer for doing his utmost to secure the future of himself and his family in what is a very short career which at any moment can be ended by injury and the like...
A person and their family is far more important than any employer
