Little doubt from the way things have unfolded that he would have preferred to go on. The club has very clearly told him though, 'we will chop you at the end of 2009', and he was never going to make it back in '09. I'd be quite sure that the delay has been the club coming to some financial arrangement with him re: his salary for this year.
2 players down on a list that is already shorter than it should be, just a week and half into the new year: 2009 has started pretty disastrously. We'd better hope it picks up from here.
And thanks to Nic for a fine career in the red & white.
