But it is surely in the Club's very best interests that the new arrivals settle in quickly and feel established in their new life Surely a willing estate agent would see this market as a lucrative area to specialise in, kind of Phil and Kirsty but Town fans | | | |

Trouble is, Alan Curbishly has already cornered that market. | |

The idea being that players who need accommodation will stay there. | |

On players wages should hardly be difficult and I'm sure a hotel will do a deal till your sorted you haven't got to stay at Jack's Cafe | | | |

Would your new employers be expecting you to move and start working immediately, in a competitive environment where fine margins can make the difference between winning and losing? | |

Why do players have to find their own accomodation? on 17:10 - Aug 27 with 1752 views | Superfrans | Where has it been said that they wouldn't? As Joe has said, it is something that Milts used to do and I thought someone like Theo Benneworth was supposed to help now. (I might have that wrong) But the club should be as welcoming as possible. Aside from the good impression it gives of the club, why would you not try to help someone who you are paying £100-250k a year to perform at the top of their ability settle in the area? Its just good business too, isn't it? | |

Well if that was the case they'd all be used up with the number of signings this season! | |

Think it may have been Bob Shelley who did quite a bit for him. | |

Hotels aren't exactly very homely though, it's possible to feel pretty lonely living in one, esp for younger players and/or those coming from abroad. Doing as much as poss to help them feel happy, comfortable & supported might well improve their ability to focus on training and playing, so it's not just a question of cossetting them, it could make financial sense too, and also maybe make the difference between a player choosing to join us or go somewhere else, if it's a finely balanced decision for them. Another role I feel Butcher could have done well in, if he'd wanted it. | |
