They are there to represent the best interests of the players, not the best interests of the club. I think its unfair to expect that of them.What about the players union they are pretty quick to tell clubs when they step out of line of a players contract and rights but nowhere to be seen when players go out of their way to manipulate a transfer by not abiding to the contract they signed

If I was on 30 bags a week I'd be clinging in to the ceiling! ?If I was on 30 bags a week my missus wid be the same......?
Hell yes, they do.
Unfortunately - and I keep meaning to do a piece on this - our club's own transfer policy gives them even more, by marketing us as both a selling club and one that will sell any player who gets a good offer elsewhere. The problem with Dembele isn't that we broke promises - we didn't as it happens - but that the promises we did make were daft ones.
Players should be told that the club is focused on building the team. We should only sign players who are willing to commit to the cause over the course of one contract; renegotiation is fine, as long as they extend their original deals, so too is being allowed to go if the club and the player both agree with an offer that's been made, but this thing where we allow them to leave the minute someone offers them more money ... that's just mental.
It was his wife who dug her heels inBobo was financing the building of schools and hospital ect back in his village in Africa that's why he wouldn't leave Celtic. He was one of the big earners that Peter lawell had to try and move on before Scottish football imploded . Not fair for fans to think he was a money grabber.
