Look at some of the big city boys players we’ve had, is it really that much of a dealbreaker not having huge shopping centres here?

Sigurdsson came from London, Fabianski came from London, Llorente came from Sevilla, Gomis from Lyon list goes on

I think money has a big thing in these things rather than nightlife and shopping.

Huw Jenkins mentioned when we were in League 1/2 that we always struggled to convince players to make the journey down here when they had options more central to London

I think this may be more of a problem with loaning players - players who may be looking for the best short term solution for them and location will be an important part.

Competing with other premier league teams and other teams in Europes top divisions.

I agree, a football career is a short one, so they will always go for the money. A manager’s can be longer in terms of age but again, how long is a managers avagage time at a club, and of course if they are rubbish the career is probably short also
