I fundamentally disagree with the vibe of the original post.

People who come and play for any football club are on short-term (relatively) contracts.... why do they need to live in the area full time?  Same applies for almost any club,

I've worked as a contractor in many places over the years but have never felt the urge to take my kids out of their school, sell my house and move the famliy for the sake of an 18 month contract.

Stop fetishizing the need to live in Grimsby in order to play football for the club.

Pay the right money and these better players will commute from  Sheffield, Leeds and the Manchester areas, it’s only a job, no one says you have to live here.

But does that mean they would play for a club on a shorter commute for less?

I wouldn't call London to NE Lincs a 'commute' at almost 4 hours of driving or train riding each way.

Who do you think does that? Most players move within commutable distance like millions of others.
