Now let me think......oh yes......MONEY!
And don't give me any of that crap about not moving jobs even though you could possibly earn a lot more elsewhere.
There are players who genuinely play for reasons other than just money. Jimbo is one and his Dad was another. Paul Benson at Dagenham is another who was the subject of loads of bids. He only moved when Daggers got up to League 1 and when it really was an offer at a stage late in his career he couldn't resist. I can think of a few ex-Shrimps who that was the case with too.
As for Stanners I genuinely think if he didn't enjoy his time at Torquay and they offered him more money he would stay with us. The fact he did and there is the pull of playing under Jimbo does show the considerations are more than just money.
