I've heard from someone ITK at the Club that Herbie kicked off big time when Collins refused to give him leave to go to Turkey to have a hair transplant. Apparently he was livid, told Collins what he thought of him, and a few of the other players. Collins just told him to "keep what hair he had left on", and if he went without authorisation from the Club, there'd be "hell toupee". Make of that what you will.
likely to do with how the club is sold to them when they join. Ie we are a stepping stone for your career. See Conor Chaplins comments. He was bang on. It’s a major design flaw in our strategy imho.
"Barnsley have a policy of buying and selling players and they don't have many loyalties to players at that football club. "The fans were amazing with me and I had a great relationship with them, but the football club in general doesn't have loyalty and it's just about buying and selling players.”
Whilst that is one example, some of the players ought to realise they are not as good as they think they are. And to be honest, us fans ought to as well
I’d look to Conor Chaplin’s comments for your answer. Players who know they’re always for sale for the right price, that feel like unimportant temporary cogs in a machine, will rarely show more loyalty to their employer than the employer shows to its employees. They’ve seen how we operate and seen people go every year.
Can't say I agree with this at all. The modern footballer generally has zero loyalty. It's just not in their DNA. Selling players on for a profit is often the only way many Clubs are able to keep their heads above water. And the reason for that is the insane money that professional footballers demand. And when a player is sold on, they very often benefit massively. Personally I think they should keep their opinions to themselves, think about why so many football Clubs have to operate in this way, and behave like the obscenely paid professionals they are.
Do Huddersfield sign lower league former players just because they live locally and their wives recently gave birth then? Jolly decent of them?
