My original reply was to the comment about how loyal he is and how we should reward him with the captaincy.
He isn't loyal (IMHO) as he was ready to jump ship (according to reports) if we were relegated.
I suspect he would have also left years ago if he was good enough for a better club.
Just because you're not good enough for a better club doesn't make you "loyal"
Decent guy yes (by all accounts) reliable over the years - kinda, loyal? probably not.
