None of us know the whole story, what its been like at the Tiges...doesnt seem a very conducive atmosphere.
Before presenting that offer of a million a season which they were advised not to, they already knew of his saying he couldn't wait to get out (if he did say that exactly) and now they're saying he bagged the coach which he Richo and the players already also knew about. Seems it was fine with them and Benji and Richo with him saying that bc they wanted him to stay and extend. It's only now that he hasn't signed that he has now become some dirty rotten disloyal big head.
His parents have come out 100% supporting him and you'd have to assume his Agent also?
Its on Richo and the Tigers trying to get ahead of the media fallout they were gonna get from losing this player Gus thinks is gonna be a superstar and so putting it out in the press.
I just think it's for the player to decide what he wants outa his football career at contract renewal time and he should be able to do so without being harassed.
