Our thinking is pretty aligned a lot of the time. I think there are two elements. I do think on this occasion the club went the extra mile for Galloway and, as IJN says, they had no way of knowing he would ever play again. And I wouldn't simply dismiss the loyalty argument. In an ideal world it would be at the front of Brendan's mind that "I owe these people - they stuck me at a very scary time when I could have been out of work and unable to work". That would be my thinking but I am not a professional sportsman with a short-earning span. And I do not have an agent who would probably struggle to spell loyalty, let alone observe it.
So while I agree with Oldage's view that loyalty should be a two-way street, I have seen enough over the years to know it rarely applies in professional football, equally from the employer or the participant.
But, as Ray Stidwell says, the club has delivered good news and the best outcome is yet to come, especially if Galloway re-signs. And another baseless, 'internet fact' will be consigned to the bin.
