I just find it odd that Cole would be so surprised that he lost the trust of the team and the fans after the tapping up scandal. Duh, Cole.

The player with do it to the club if he can and the club will most certainly do it to the player if they possibly can. Get a clue people, loyalty left the sports world back in the 70's and 80's, There is very rarely loyalty in business. I found this out the hard way and naively back in the early 80's when I worked very hard for a company and they then in return laid me off. That doesn't mean that I still don't work hard for my company, quite contrary. But I know now that business is business and bottom line is bottom line. We are all expendable and athletes are probably more so than most regular employees. They are pieces of meat that are exchanged around and used until they no longer are wanted for there services or are all used up, crippled and lame. It's just the way of the world as cruel as that may be. It is just amplified with the athlete. As far as I am concerned it is all a big F*#$@-fest.
