Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Two different sports. Completely different scenarios.
And, what Calr Spackler and Dave K said.
My original point still stands.
Football is the only sport where significant transfer fees occur. RL has adopted the system that most sports do for player movement.
You,need to get our of this idea that players are in it for the pride, the shirt and the badge. Very VERY few will be like that unless they are died in the wool locals. It's their job. They will go where they can get the best deal which suits them. In rare situations its not just about money, as in Tickles case.'"
or players stay put because they get away with behaviour which wouldn't be accepted elsewhere, and FC have had those aplenty, Good luck to Tickle and Briscoe, moving on for what they believe to be better (financially, emotionally or just perceptionally)
we'll miss Tickle more than Briscoe.
