Former Super Eagles forward Peter Odemwingie can short of
describing soccer fans as politicians on Wednesday, noting that they appear to
have permanent interest and not permanent friends.
The Rotherham United
forward observed in a chat with Premier League Daily that most fans don't reckon
with injured players or players being shipped out by their clubs for whatever
reason but are only concerned with players that are playing on current form
describing it as lack of loyalty to the players who prior to have some
obstacles may have been doing everything possible to lift the club and put
smiles on the faces of the fans.
"Personally, I will always take the side of the player
because you can't go against the club, you are just an individual," the
35-year-old said
"You will get to a stage where if the club chooses to
move you, sometimes a club gets a transfer list of players they don't want, but
fans don't stick up for those players who the club said they did not want.
"They are showing no loyalty to those players that
maybe came back from injury and all they think is that they want to go for
better players," he regretted
Odemwingie infamously attempted to secure a Deadline Day
switch from West Bromwich Albion to Queens Park Rangers in January 2013, which
saw him drive to Loftus Road despite no fee being agreed between the clubs.
He was subsequently disciplined by the Baggies for his
actions, but did return to first-team action under then-manager Steve Clarke
before sealing a move to Cardiff City In September 2013.
