I’m sorry but your way off with this one. When you invest as much time, money and energy into developing a player as we have done with Zemura, then it’s very poor from him to refuse to sign a contract in these circumstances. The contact doesn’t keep him here if there is interest from above, it just protects the financial interests of the club. We’re talking about a lad who was binned off by two different pro clubs here. Your argument that we choose to move players on doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny. Cook has been here for going on ten years and been a regular for almost the entirety of that time, he is not going to play on forever, to suggest that him being out of the team now indicates a lack of loyalty from the club just isn’t true. Likewise players like Surman, Daniels, Franno would have not been kept on anywhere near the length of time they were at any other club at the top level. If there is any club that shows loyalty to it’s good servants then it’s ours! Look how many ex players we’ve had/have in the coaching set up! So yes, loyalty should still come into it in some circumstances.
