Loyalty

[ThatJa]

Is there anyone more loyal that we've had than Illi?

(if the news today is to be believed)

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Aaron Ramsdale?

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Dane Whitehouse?

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Lundstrum

Turned down a £25m move to Everton in January to get promoted with the Blades. That's already some going in my book, but if he signs a new deal now he's joined Billy Sharp as the first genuine club legends since Deane

Dane Whitehouse?

I was only young when DW played for us, did he reject chances to go elsewhere?

Oi! Basham.

Club accepted £1.5 (?)m offer from Birmingham, he told Charles Green he wasn’t going.

Yes, he’s a legend in my eyes anyway.

Good enough to be included for me!

 

[bladesmanluke]

Oi! Basham.

It's a fair point

Leeds wanted to sign him too.

 

[mancunianblade]

Leeds wanted to sign him too.

I always thought a deal was agreed with Southampton?

I know it was Birmingham that Green agreed a deal with, Leeds were interested but dont know about Southampton

 

[Sean Thornton]

Leeds wanted to sign him too.

Forest?

 

[FTPE]

Who is the media guy that used to make videos for us? Really well liked fella? Black guy, went missing once?
Anyway, weeks and weeks ago he said Ili won't go anywhere as he's too loyal to us

 

[Silent Blade]

Forest?

Wouldnt surprise me but Bassett probably knew that Dane wouldnt leave us

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Billy "Three Times" Sharp?

Terence Campbell.

The vlog he did with The Shoreham View:

 

[robbiez666]

The long list of players who didn't try and manufacture a move away from the club?

 

[FTPE]

Terence Campbell.

The vlog he did with The Shoreham View:

That's him, is the quote from there about Ili's loyalty?
Thought it was a tweet.
Top bloke regardless.

 

[mattbianco1]

Billy "Three Times" Sharp?

Like either of those transfers were his choice

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Jake Eastwood

Dean Hammond flat out refused to leave

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Steve Bruce

Tonge, Monty, Quinny and Jags all turned down plenty of moves and stayed for a long time. Maguire too. The scale of this is much different though. As a club our players seem to warm to us and almost always speak highly of us often staying longer than they would elsewhere imo. The media don't like us whereas the players do. When they leave it's often a result of being forced out by the board. Never forget Dane Whitehouse, Sir James Hagan or Woody by the way!

Woody did ask to go on a transfer list twice. In summer 1969 and January 1976. During summer 1976 Woody agreed to sign a new contract after Jimmy Sirrel offered him the captaincy and a midfield role.

Exactly.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Len Badger was another one. And I think Hagan turned down a move to the Pigs? They were different times, though.
