Fantasy Football.... If Things Were Differently

Spin off from another topic. What would you do in this situation?


It's year 1998. You are a top footballing talent and product of City's youth Academy. You are making 1000 k/w which is nice money but you've broken into England U21's and are being talked as next big thing. City is in 2nd division right now. So big clubs come knocking at City's door with offers of over million pounds. They are willing to do the deal. You are being offered 20k/w and chance to go to Premier League. So what do you do? Be toppest of all Blues ever, you are CTID after all, and stay with City no matter what? Or do you you take offer by let's say Aston Villa? That will set you and your family financially for life and chance to do some great things on the pitch.

What would you do? Take up the offer? Or stay in City?

Sorry, but this is a non-questions. Club fans are club fans. Footballers are footballers.

It'd be tough decision in all honesty but I'd take the option one as well. It's my profession after all.

Money.

If city improve and get to the same standard that I'm at, I'll join them no hassle. Failing that, I'll re join when my career is on the slide and, again, we're at the same level.

You get one shot to play football and if you're one of the best, you need to play in one of the best teams.

Show me the money.

Le Tissier himself said in one intrview that people think that he was crazy not to move BUT that the truth was that no one ever came in with serious bid for him so he never really had the chance to move elsewhere.

And, Southampton were in the top division all that time.

I'd take the money and go, and hpe to go back to City eventually, at the end of my career or if they go back to the top flight.

No way you could put fan loyalty over a professional career option.
