I suspect L1 / L2 players who are not on big money tend to fall into three broad groups - younger ones who are happy to rent / share a flat; mid-career ones who are maybe settling down with young family etc. but are still relatively mobile; and later career players who may have kids at school and are thinking longer term. Didn't we read that both Moxey and Stockley (and maybe their other halves) were in part motivated by getting kids settled in pleasant places to live etc.As for the relocation problem, the other thing we don't tend to see because we live down here is the cost of buying a house. For the price of our standard three beds down here you can buying rather plush four beds in some areas in the north. Is it any wonder that some players think twice before coming down?
It's the middle group who we may have the hardest job to attract?
