Quote: TheButcher "I have posted elsewhere in this thread my thoughts about why players might choose one Club over another. Without repeating myself, it's not always about money. Security in contract length, personal reasons, better/longer contract offer, more first team games, more play time, lack of opportunity at the previous Club, etc etc.
People always presume it's about the money, and yes it will have a bearing, but it's about the whole package fitting the player in question at the right time, and ticking all their boxes for what they want. They're human beings after all, with the same problems we all have. Reducing them to mere money chasers is to miss the point completely.'"
Indeed, as Jodie Broughton's Dad told me last year, Jodie wanted to stay at Salford not for more money but for a longer deal (at least a 4 year deal), he thought he'd earned that with his loyalty when we were in the mire. As I understand it, the club would only offer him a maximum 2 year deal as we were 'in transition' but Hudds offered him a 4 year deal, therefore he went. I think it's unlikely that he would end up at Hudds for less money than he was on at Salford just because Hudds were a play-off side but at the same time not necessarily more either.
