It's fairly safe to assume Bruno Fernandes will not be working for Trafford Council once his playing days are over.
That is what happened to Manchester United's 1948 FA Cup-winning captain Johnny Carey once his playing days came to an end and he was no longer managing.
Carey was one of the most foremost players of the post-War era, captain of Ireland as well as United.
But the 'rewards' simply do not compare to those available to modern day Premier League stars.
"The wages side was straightforward," said Carey's son Mike as he chatted to BBC Sport. "He earned £15-a-week in winter when he was playing and £13 in summer. Then he got £2 for a win and £1 for a draw.
"But his attitude the whole time was that he couldn't believe they paid him to play football.
"He also did some building work. He studied civil engineering and he just kept it going. Then, after he retired, for a time he worked in the Treasurers' Dept at Trafford Borough Council, opening the mail and distributing it.
"The players in those days were all very down-to-earth people. They didn't see themselves as celebrities.
"On a Sunday, we would go to Frank Swift's shop in his black Ford. They would have a chat, dad would buy some groceries and that was it. They were just ordinary guys."
