I can see that Matthew loves the place, the team and the players, it shows in all ways. Him wanting more guaranteed money to me just means he wants to play longer, but I didn't see the need to put that out there. The team always does stuff in house out of respect for all involved, putting this out to the media is IMO doing the exact opposite of how the team does it. It'll get done, but it's just the way of going about it that looks bad.
How much money he has, how much money he is making is not the issue at all, it's about keeping it in the building an working it out inside the walls of the place.
Maybe he sees that the economy collapsing and wants it all up front before the big boom comes....LOL..
