Why do and why have so many players for years lived in Edinburgh, Glasgow, even Stirling over the years?

I love living in Dundee.

What I'm saying is that some players may not entertain the idea of coming to Dundee United because they wrongly think Dundee is a backwater.

And in the good old days most players were Scottish and went where they could. They earned much less and were tied to 8 year deals etc.
