Fair enough. I don't doubt that he is doing it for more than just $$ and sunshine and he is undoubtedly the biggest signing and draw card of the A-League so far.
So yes he will carry a lot of respect with many of the fans, but I don't think I'd extend that to applauding him as an opposition player.
Equally his name isn't Payne (Chris), Judas, Mini Judas, Thompson, Thiago or any Glory player so I won't boo him either.
When his name is announced I'll just raise my eyebrows as a sign of "Chur bro"...perhaps.
"Phoenix till they lose"
