Question ...... 20:39 - Feb 8 with 701 viewsBlueandTruesince82

One that came up in the barbers, you're a professional footballer playing for your hometown club the might ITFC tbe team you supported all your life, they are mid to upper tier championships and you earn 20k a week.

Norwich, now an established PL team are in for you, Town have accepted a bid, its good money for the club but you dont have to go. Ncfc are offering you 60k week, do you go? If not how much would you need pw to make the move?

Inspired by Paul Merson, a Chelsea fan that played for Arsenal, and Darren Bent who (my barber says, no idea if true had assumed him a town fan) is an Arsenal fan who played for spurs. I'm sure there are many other examples.

A lot of players don’t have or lose the intensity of the passion for the club they support when they play.

You’re in the realms of the impossible by suggesting Norwich as an established Prem club anyway.

Don't go as you know they wouldn't be prem for long so would end up on lower wages after they're cut following relegation

This is what agents are for. If they are willing to pay you £60k per week then there will be someone else out there willing to pay you at least £40k and a taste of premier league football.

I think it depends how deep in you are. They way I felt about N*rwich when I was twenty there's no way I'd have made that move, unless the money would've literally saved the club.

Go, play like a tw@t, score a few OGs, get them relegated and all while earning £60k a week.

Benty is very much an Arsenal fan. Though has affection for his first club.

I think that was longer ago than last season, it was also referring to an FA Cup final. He did say Town, but I think that was for the listeners, he's an Arsenal fan.

The one I heard was definitely during last season. Yes of course he is but was put in a conundrum and because we were his first side would genuinely have wanted us to win which Goldstein couldn’t believe and went off on one as usual etc.

In this scenario that can only be hypothetical, unless we’re looking like genuine promotion contenders you’d probably go. If we’re only mid league and looking like staying there, you definitely go. It’s a career and players want to challenge themselves and play at the highest level while they can. You wouldn’t turn down a move to an established PL club whoever they were.

Fair enough, I can't stand Goldstein, so I don't actually listen, I was just aware it happened at some point. To be honest, I think it's a close call for him between the two teams.

Ideally yes but for the purposes of this no other clubs are in for you..... you are trippling your wage and moving up a divsion

Accept the offer, before you leave Town agree the location of park benches upon which you leave newspapers with the team selections for games, true injury situations of your new teammates, any incriminating evidence about board members such as alcohol intake etc., folded up inside. Use your privileged position to enhance their trophy cabinet with the picture of Delia wearing Town colours at the '78 Cup Final.
