You've answered your own question Georgee.
I've no problem with a player wanting to leave, it's always happened in football, but how they leave does matter to me.
The traditional way was to walk in to the managers office on a Monday morning and hand him a letter requesting a transfer.The club would then decide whether or not to sell the player.
Arnie has chosen to go down a different route, agitating for a move, releasing publicly pre-negotiated prices with some overseas club which was not in his remit to do.
For him to then solicit a round of applause for himself by applauding our support was a piss take too far, he's been acting up for months and when he eventually goes he should do so quietly, no fanfare, no parade, just clear out his locker and cheerio.
