The sad fact of footballing life is that a player's career is relatively short. They may earn a decent wedge when playing but after they stop so does the decent money. Obviously some may migrate to coaching or various other careers but bottom line they are all mercenaries getting as much as they can for themselves and their families. Loyalty and professional footballers are not easy bedfellows. Fans are loyal (mostly) and we get paid **** all by the club, its a funny old world ain't it. Thank **** that we have ShrimperZone to discuss things sensibly.
