Agreed 65years. Gone are the days when footballers played for the love of the game and showed loyalty to the club they played for. There are exceptions but they are all commodities that are bought and sold bu businessmen. Sometimes I wish the so called dark days of the 70's & 80's would return

Everton forward Richarlison is emerging as a target for Inter Milan this summer.
The Brazilian joined the Toffees from Watford last year and has scored 14 goals in 38 games this season.
And according to a report in Tuttosport , the 22-year-old is on the radar of the Italian giants, with ex-West Ham loanee Joao Mario potentially being used in the deal.

Le10 Sport on Wednesday go out of their way to confirm interest on their website for Richarlison , explaining PSG are looking at the Everton forward as they prepare for the exit of Julian Draxler as well as potentially Angel Di Maria’s. Paris Saint-Germain are said to have enquired about the amounts the Toffees would want for their star, and the answer they allegedly got was €75m. These days football is a business, a very big one.
Whilst we on the Forum love certain players; we have realise that it IS a business and Moshiri is a business man as are probably all of the board.
Each and every one of them is in it for the money - they all want to increase their wealth; so if somebody else offers a lot more than we paid for a player then it's good business to sell that player regardless.
The only consideration would be if that player is in the overall plans for next season or the following seasons and also whether that player has potential to make vast improvements and therefore the selling price and the profit goes up.
Every player knows that and that's why they all try to earn as much as they can at each club they sign a contract for. It may sound disgusting to us but that's the life of a footballer, a manager and a board member.
We all go to the match to enjoy the game, meet friends and generally have a social day out.
If we sell him it's a sign we have no intention of building a squad and just in it to make a profit on signings. We're struggling for goals as it is.

Carlo Ancelotti has said Everton will resist any approach for Richarlison in the summer as the “complete striker” is under contract until 2024 and a key part of the club’s plans for the future.
The Brazil international signed a new five-year contract at Goodison Park in December when the former manager, Marco Silva, claimed Manchester United were one of several clubs interested in the 22-year-old. Everton this week dismissed reports of an £85m bid from Barcelona for the player – club officials insist there was no contact from Catalonia – but, after record losses of almost £112m for the year to June 2019 were announced, Richarlison does represent one of the few profitable assets from their lavish spending under Farhad Moshiri.
Ancelotti, however, insists Everton intend to build around the former Watford forward, who is fit to face that club on Saturday, and are in a position to reject any offer for his services this summer.
The Everton manager said: “I don’t think it will be difficult to resist because it is enough to say no. There is no possibility because Richarlison is an important part of the future of Everton like the other young players we have – Pickford, Holgate, Kean, Keane, Calvert-Lewin. We have a lot of young players. This is the base from which the club has to build the future. And Richarlison is part of it. Everything can happen in football. If an offer arrives that you cannot refuse, and it is an offer that can improve the squad, then why not? But, now, I can say Richarlison is an important part. With Barcelona you can do an exchange, no? [Laughs.] They have a lot of fantastic players but I’m not nominating anyone!”
Richarlison has scored 21 goals in 57 Premier League appearances for Everton since his £40m arrival from Vicarage Road and Ancelotti believes there is more improvement to come.
He added: “I was not here when he renewed [his contract] but the fact that he renewed made me happy because he’s a fantastic player. He can play everywhere. He’s a modern striker in my opinion. Technically he can improve but his movement is really good, his heading is fantastic, I was surprised, and he has a lot of power in his legs. He is a really complete striker but technically I think he can improve. In the control and in the controlling movement he can improve. This is the target with him.”
