Well Bankers are not idolized in the stupid fashion Footballers are.

People don't moan about those who work in banks and in the city that earn similar amounts to footballers, even though theres probably more skill to being a footballer than a boss of a big company.

Skill maybe, but Intelligence and importance less so. There are lots of skills people have that are rare, only football and a few other sports pay such a high premium when it's not an important skill in any sense of the word.
The amount of money footballers make is a fault of the system of football and not the players. They deserve the money they get since they are the ones earning it, but there should not be so much money to be made from commercialized football
