Would people feel better if we didn't announce signings at all, so their feelings weren't hurt? I get it, it sucks for those 55 people, but life goes on. I would imagine those 55 people would understand since they worked there. The fans don't pay money to go see them, they pay to see world class athletes, and world class athletes are what is going to bring in more money.
They are my local club and represent my local area. It is a coincidence as far as I'm concerned that they happen to be one of the biggest clubs in the country. I want success at the club but success with honour, and shafting people on a normal working wage in this way is not acceptable.
As a fan of a club which happens to be a big club, I put up with a lot including high ticket prices.... but stiffing regular staff to save a few quid is too much for me.
