A footballer's motives are no higher than the rest of us. It's a fragile, short career and every player will kiss the badge, talk the talk but then move on to a better offer and repeat the process.
It's a fact of life, it's often disappointing but to try and set players on a higher pedestal of loyalty and morality is, in all honesty nonsensical for any lower division club and for one whose business model expressly requires players to be bought, improved and sold for a profit, delusional.
I'm not even arguing that. I am arguing that it is very natural for football fans to express negative sentiment about former 'heroes' who walk out the door and into the arms of another. Anger is a classic grief reaction.
