That's because you're a fan, not a footballer. They don't care at all about the same things we do which is why it's refreshing when they actually seem to.
ie: That's one of the main reasons we all have a boner over Rafa, because he seems to give a fuck about the same things we do.
Replace Newcastle with any other half decent team and the point still stands like.
West Brom are just a total nothing club. At least we have reasonable support and a decent stadium.
Again, you missed the point. Footballers literally could give a fuck about those things you just mentioned.
As long as their bank account stays fat and they stay employed in the top flight they're generally going to be just fine with wherever they play. There are very small margins of things beyond that actually mattering.
