It’s like anything in life, you can’t force somebody to be somewhere just because of a piece of paper, if somebody didn’t want to be at this team, then we’re not going to force somebody against their will to be here...He’s been here since he was 18 years of age. And I have no doubt of his commitment and passion going forward. But that’s the way it is.
