numbeast Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 17 hours ago, BTRFTG said: There never was. There was a restricted trade practice with clubs holding all the aces. Just because a player happened to stay with a club for a long period it didn't mean they wanted to. Players sometimes were in receipt of other inducements, bring allowed to undertake outside paid employment or provide underhand and subsidized inducements. Although rare we had one of the most loyal players to ever play the game in John Atyeo. He had chances to move on but life in BS3 suited him. Then there is Marcus Stewart who despite being a City fan started his career with the gas did that make him disloyal? No it made him determined to have a career in football. Both Bobby Reid and Joe Bryan contributed to a great cup run last season and because of that richer clubs took notice and have made bids. I wish them, along with Flint and Magnússon success. At the start of last season I posted we should be worried about losing important players. Many on here said to evolve we needed to bring players on and then sell them until we are at a point where we can compete, with hindsight I now agree with that view. Like charity loyalty begins at home. If Cardiff come back down Bobby will leave if another Premier side comes in for him. The days of John Atyeo are long gone but losing home grown players brings in good money to the club. New hero's will emerge and the cycle starts again.

Scott left us for Reading presumably to better his career and earnings, in the same way that the player with the record number of appearances for the club did , when he went to Coventry. Can't begrudge modern players moving away if it gives them the chance to further their career, or give them , or improve the chances of, financial security once their playing days are over, such are the financial rewards now available. Hopefully, if the club's financial position continues to strengthen and we become ever more established in the championship and increasingly seen as a team challenging towards the top, then we have a better chance of attracting better players from other championship teams and keeping more of our own.

He had chances to move on but life in BS3 suited him. Then there is Marcus Stewart who despite being a City fan started his career with the gas did that make him disloyal? I'd question whether either of these are examples of 'loyalty' in the sense you intend it. Atyeo had a lifestyle that suited what was on offer and what he wanted at the time and City facilitated his desire for another career in education. In his day there was never the assumption that football might be the only thing one would ever undertake and there are dozens of top players who were part time plumbers, undertakers and such like during their playing careers. I grew up with Marcus's dad and the reason he went to the Rovers was simply because City didn't offer him the chance. Ditto Julian Dicks who lived a few doors further up and who's father took him to AG where he asked if his son would be playing in the first team at 16 if he was good enough only to be told: 'no chance, 18 or 19 maybe but not before.' When asked the same question Ron Saunders replied ' if he's 15 and good enough he'll play,' and that's why he ended up at Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
