If you were a Professional Footballer..

and you was playing for your team that you grew up supporting and you was on 80K a week and say a Massive Club wanted to buy you and they are prepared to pay you 150k a week, would you go?

I wouldn't go, even if i was earning 20k a week after tax and i was playing for United.. as long as i'm wanted at the Club i would reject it.

Yeah I would. Playing sport like that is all about developing your career. If you stay at one club the whole time you're never going to reach your full potential as you won't get the opportunity to play with a different team, except internationals. I could still support my club, just play for another and earn more money in the mean time.

It depends if the club I'm at is going places. It's good for you, B.I.C. (see what I did there?) your club win trophies every season. But if you played for your childhood team and they were West Ham and Liverpool came in for you, you've then got a chance to play in the CL rather than just hope for a mid-table finish. It's tough. I think for the majority of my career I'd stay with my club, then there comes a time where I need to think about my pocket.

i would only go if it was to support my clubs financial future tbf.

I'd never move ot any other club once i got playing for my own club.

For an almost doubled wage of course I'd go. You can support and respect a team without playing for them, and I'd hope that the guys there would support and respect me for wanting to further my career
