It is Robin's testimonial this season, and rightfully deserved too. Now theres a player for you who shows loyalty and comitment to the club, he is brilliant ! Edited by Scarletprincess |

i can see what lino is saying, we (the fans) do feel obliged to go to these events and pay, becuase if we didnt, then the player whos given all their loyalty to the club, wouldnt have the recognition they deserve, and thats unfair. it is a choice but u do feel u have to go to support this player

You said "but why do we (the fans) have to fork out even more so they (who are earning loats more than us) can have even more money. Thats all I'm asking. I don't think it's right somehow." You infer that there is an obligation on fans to pay for a testimonial ("why do we (the fans) have to fork out even more...)" |

Who said I felt bitter about it. I don't . It is about choice, thats why I don't ever support these events. |

Why do you feel you have to? You really don't. No need to feel bitter about it - it's purely choice.

So what I'm trying to say (!) is that it's not a gesture - more a business decision.

It's part of a players contract nowadays. For example Celtic couldn't stretch to the offers made to Henrik Larsson a few years back, so the put a testimonial into his contract knowing how idolised he was and suddenly they have found an extra £2m. Fans happy, player happy, club happy. If we go for Stephen in two years time, I imagine we'll offer him the same thing knowing that we can't compete with his Montferrand wages. Makes sense to me. |
