So because he out played the contract he agreed to means he can do what he wants? I'm happy he did what he did and he's done what he's done but he wasn't forced to sign that contract. Saying he can do whatever because he's done more than his contract states is like saying we can not pay some players who haven't played up to their contract. Kipper has been our best player pretty much since he's got here, I'm not arguing that but that doesn't give him any extra contractual right. He's earned respect by being who he has been but by threatning to retire if he doesn't get his way, he's lost some of that respect
