Cumbrian Boy, exactly my point. So it would be deemed totally acceptable by most fans to get rid of a player, slag them off etc when they are deemed not good enough because the club has to be run as a business and their business is winning games and making a profit. On the flip side of that argument, players are "self contractors" who have bills to pay, families to look after and be "human" as well as a player. If they are getting a hard time, not played, less money, less game time or generally unhappy they have EVERY right to look elsewhere much like a club does to look for new players. Travelling players and foreign players want to win for the team they play for just as much as locals but they don't have to pretend they "love" the town or city to prove it.
