Greeny is by far and away my favourite player - I cannot imagine a better club man and I would love to see him stay on with the club after his playing days in a youth development, assistant coaching, mentoring etc role.
 
I also absolutely agree he should be treated with the respect his commitment to the club and professionalism deserve.
 
To say he, and he alone, should decide when he retires (from the Nix) however is nonsense - the Nix have, next season, four very precious import spots to use and they need to be used to the best advantage of the club - if that includes a contract for Greeny then great (personally I doubt it would), if it doesn't then so be it. No one would understand the realities of professional football better than Greeny.
 
Probably also somewhat unrealistic to not expect supporters to speculate on how we could / should use our import spots next season.
 
I however restate my absolute agreement with the sentiment that Greeny should be treated with the utmost respect he deserves.
