Spot on, players come and go, managers, chairman, owners also, it’s only us fans who are here 30/40/50/60 years. Even players you could consider loyal like Jim Cannon, Julian Speroni and Wilf are only around for a brief time compared to most supporters. Man alive....yeah over forty six years for me.

Unleashing my inner Willo, I garland your post with approbation, Glazier. It has been a privilege to watch him in a Palace shirt and I wish him the very best in the rest of his career. I 100% don't care what he does if he leaves Palace. I support the club, not some greedy individual. No loyalty = no loyalty.

Loyalty in football can be mainly consigned to the history books because ever since the PL sold its soul to the money men, it's only ever been about money and career progression like most other jobs. If we want to attract real talent like Olise then we can expect to have to include release clauses in the contract. There's no reason to cut off our noses to spite our faces by refusing to provide such contracts. Someone mentioned Ward as a loyal servant, and whilst I accept that his Christian faith probably has something to do with his loyalty, I would proffer that Ward surely knew that he was well-off staying with a struggling to middling PL club given his limited footballing ability. As several posters have said, only we fans are loyal - everything and everyone else is transitory. We move on.

Whilst not begrudging players the opportunity to, let's face it. earn as much as they can it feels increasingly as though the rich clubs just use everyone else as an extended scouting system. Maybe it was always the same but release clauses make it all so much easier for them.

I can't dispute your appraisal of the situation and am not annoyed. Originally posted by EddieMac
The club knew last year that he would be gone this year. He could have left for £35 mill last year so has gained us an extra £15-20mill by staying another year. He has gone to one of the top 5 clubs in world football. Nothing to be annoyed about.

Loyalty? It's the free market. I fully accept his desire and right to get paid more. A player who spends five minutes at a club, mostly injured, and then moves on cannot expect much love from fans. He will get zero from me. This is particularly so since the club had the potential for much better things next season. I fear we will now return to bang average without him.

Trying to look at the positives I suppose Ayew and Schlupp can look at more game time from their perspective...
