Attracting players

This sadly is 100% correct .

I give you the case of George Boyd , life long palace fan agrees a deal with palace to join and play for the team he supports all is but signed and sealed , along come Hull city offer a few pennies more and mr Boyd with pen in hand signs for hull.

Now I know you'll all be saying " is he a real fan" I have seen him at Selhurst many times and stood next to him at last years cup final, so yes when his not playing for Hull he is watching palace.

Players like us workers go where the money is it is a Simon as that and TBH I don't blame them as I would do the same in my job.
