The game no longer is about players and team allegiance, its about money. And as they'd have say 10 years at top of their game before retiring or lower division, I can't blame them.

I mean who will remember F in 10 years as he lives a well off comfortable life cos he went for the money?

Yes I totally agree. If I had the opportunity to get a couple of million in my bank account and have the option to retire at 30 and go round the world and have a great series of life experiences but piss of football fans in the process - I'd be going flat out for it.

Can't blame them for milking the gravy train - it's Sky and all the rest of them that have created this circus that are to blame.

I went to a Spurs v 'European team' game a few seasons ago on a corporate invite - at the pre match dinner there were 6 famous Spurs legends there Chivers, Jennings etc all working the tables and proudly enjoying being part of the club still - there is no way the current generation of players will stick around that long to become embedded in its culture and future.

Football will come a cropper one day - sadly not for a considerable time yet.
