Joel Griffiths Returns - the best thing ever, ever, ever and ever

All I can say is that there are quite a few delusional and clueless muppets in this town going by the comments in todays Herald on Griffo's article.

Bagging the guy out because he took a huge offer to go to China....I mean what planet do these guys live on? The average footballer has 10 to 15 years max to make money out of his career and if I recall at the time the Chinese offer was 3 x what he would've got (even though he was offered the Jets Marquee position) to stay here....um oh I'll pass on that and stay with the Jets!!!

What he says is 100% true in regards to a non-existent culture of recognising what players to keep in order to build this club around year after bloody year.

Not this only have 15 year careers shit again. Like anyone else Footballers can work in another field when their football careers end. Like the rest of us they can retrain themselves / change careers and work until retirement age.

This is why I have absolutely no interest in talking to or meeting players after the games or at those meet and greet wank fests. Crying about earning 250k a season when most of your fans work just as hard sometimes harder for a hell of a lot less.

No wonder the fans feel disconnected from the players.

With respect tom which players to keep you are never going to keep anyone here when clubs are competing against state owned CSL teams for player signatures.

Griffo leaving to play in the CSL is proof enough of that.
