players move ???

Question

do you think that some players will favour a move to one team rather than another just because of the location of the team rather than the teams ability?
if so isnt this unfair?
i heard chris baird moved to fulham rather than sunderland (in what seems like a stupid decision) just to live in london
i mean ok, sunderland have just been promoted but they are a much bigger club than fulham in stadia, fanbase and history
afterall sunderland are the 6th most successful club in england after
liverpool
man u
arsenal
everton
aston villa

Answer 1

maybe

Answer 2

True though, but it's all up to the individuals to request for a move or not. Whether Chris Baird goes to Sunderland or not doesn't matter anymore as there's always Plan B when Plan A foils.

Cheers :)

Answer 3

Its a question of lifestyle,imagine you are on 25 thousand pounds per week,you would want to go out occasionally and spend some of it,in the London area people will be quite happy to spend over 500 pounds on a dinner,at these prices they are guaranteed a bit of privacy and away from the rif-raf, they will spend thousands on school fees for there children ,players who play for Liverpool and Man U generally don't live in Liverpool or Manchester,but in the stockbroker belt around Cheshire,now Sunderland can best be described as a working class area,nothing wrong with that,but your average Premier league player is anything but working class.and they want a quality of life outside of football that there salary merits.

Answer 4

He also has to consider what is best for his family, Some wives don't take no for an answer.. SLAP. Agree with you that Sunderland have the potential to be a much bigger club

Answer 5

of course they do, think about it if you were offered a job in an office same hours same pay but one was in the north of England the other in the south you'd choose the one where you preffered to live, thats why most players join london clubs cause thats the place to be most people prefer to live there than up north. It works the other way aswell though look at rooney most players would have gone to chelsea but he didnt want to live in london so he chose man u

Answer 6

Your point maybe valid but it is still up to the individual where they wish to "work".
If your family is close to where your moving to?
If you are a supporter of proposed new club?
If you have a better chance of first team representation at new club?

These are major factors, along with money, managers and future honours can sway your decision.

Answer 7

I agree with you that NUFC is the most succesful club in england.

Answer 8

I agree with you that LFC is the most succesful club in england.
