    What is the criteria that you use to decide whether or not a certain player gets that song sung to them?

    Why didn't John stones get it sung to him?
    Will winnall?
    Will hourihane if he goes to villa?

    anyone who sings that to someone who moves for quadruple salary, needs to have a word with themselves

    If someone offered me 4/5/6/7 times my weekly wage I would be off and you could call me whatever you wanted to.

    How many opportunities will BFC players get of this chance to make themselves millionaires?

    I'm not saying that singing it is right and I never have done myself, I was just asking how the people who do make the decision whether a certain player should or shouldn't be labelled as such

    I love hearing this off everyone? "If you got offered four times your salary would you change jobs?"

    How can you compare your job to that of a professional footballer. When I go into work Karen the cleaner is just finishing off her shift, she adores me, constantly asking for selfies and my autograph. I love my work as well, can't wait to get there to be idolised by everyone, sometimes it takes me a hour to get to the printer because I'm constantly signing autographs on the way.

    Two completely different worlds.

    The manner of their departure comes into it as well

    A jobs a job mate. I earn more now than when I actually did a useful job that helped people. Would I take a massive cut in wages to be useful again? Would I ****.

    I worked in Leeds, left for a management position in Barnsley with a big pay rise and in my own town to then go back to Leeds for less money. Not always that way, l like working in Leeds, for a better company for less money.

    We aren't professional footballers with fans that idolise us.

    It depends on the circumstances.

    Stones was a young player who everyone could see was premiership bound due to his ability, no one begrudged him a move to one of the biggest clubs in the country.

    Winnall will get booed because he's joined a local rival, it makes it even worse that the local rival were only 4 points in front of us & we had a realistic chance of catching them.

    Hourihane won't because he's joining one of the biggest clubs in the country who we have no rivalry with.

    Shackell did because it was made public that he refused to come back to pre-season training with us & his agent had already negotiated his contract with Derby before an approach had been made.

    Jobs in football are nothing like those in the real world. Where else does an employee get paid compensation for being sacked due to incompetence.

    Politics. Business all the time you see higher managers rewarded for failure. Bankers getting bonuses for presiding over failure. Football fans romanticise it. Go speak to a lad playing for Newport or Exeter about whether it's a job or not. It's a good job but nevertheless a job.
