Hand up over here. What does "togetherness" mean?

Call me a cynic, and I don't mean to have a go at ManU specifically as it applies to many clubs, but as star players head off with their handlers in lavish sports cars with darkened windows, as the fans drive back to various parts of the country with some even heading back home abroad, not sure many top flight clubs have anything like "togetherness"? I suspect that for a lot of players (again not just ManU), it's a job and they have no real affinity with each other or with the club beyond how it serves them and their interests. Of course sometimes that coincides, some players may be both happy at a club and paid bloody well enough too so they stick around, Giggs, Gerrard, Lampard etc.
