Sadly memories of how it was and what was important years ago is not longer relevant in football . Those clubs with the most money and being prepared to spend it will rise to the top because they will attract the best players. This has always been the case and if you view across Europe it is the case for any league.
Local players give local supporters that extra pride and feeling that they care a little bit more and it makes them special but the days of a player like Carragher staying at the one club is getting less likely each year. Even Gerrard was allowed to go because the club would not consider the money needed to keep him .
Players will move for a number of different reasons some times just for the money (Steve McMananaman you know who you are) others will move in order to win things which is a little more acceptable to some . I have no problems what they move for so long as they are honest and just say I have just doubled my wages , I have just signed for a club that will win honours this year what annoys the hell out of me is saying things like its not the money , or I just need a new challenge . Just be straight .
