I wouldn't say the players suffered under the Allams, just that in most cases it was the obvious thing for them to leave, and would be hard to expect them to do anything else. People like Odubajo or Tymon, getting offered daft terms that were far worse than they could get elsewhere, of course they'd leave. I think it's wrong to treat them as though they've done something wrong by leaving. Maybe Livermore did do something wrong, if that rumour of him disrupting training was true, although he's one that generally gets a good reception, while the real ire tends to be reserved for the likes of Odubajo, who dared to suffer an injury and then not stay on reduced terms.

So you’re not actually saying the players suffered, their pain was just monetary.

As stated earlier, proportionately, hardly any players got any bad rap for leaving and I’ve never read/heard anyone criticise Moses O for getting injured. But I have read/heard of fans criticising him in how he responded to a contract offer he deemed unworthy of him. This after an age on the treatment table.

The Club with some sense (and now evidenced by hindsight) offered him reduced terms. Could he not have taken reduced terms for a year or so to prove himself and repay the Club/fans? Not exactly on a poor contract previously, not exactly hard up, not exactly going to go hungry or **** up his future.

Here is where we disagree I think.

You seem to see the players selling their labour as an almost soulless transaction: everything being measured by this as a monetary value. Whereas, I see the loyalty to the fans, the heart of the club, as highly important, both on a human and socio-cultural level.

It does seem really odd! Surely there must be a big round of official announcements coming soon? Maybe tomorrow?

Not particularly pissed off as such as it’s nice to see it all I imagine once one of them happens they’ll all start to flow nicely. Still early days, which is refreshing as we have been so used to not knowing what the future holds. At least now it’s for the right reasons.
