If his value can be recognised in accounts, and I see that is a current discussion point, then ok there is a benefit, but the invisible cost of the disruption to the squad and planning feels substantial.
However, I also recognise that I like him and would rather he remained as it’s a project I can see baring fruit, so I factor that in and recognise my personal preference (bias?)
My concern would be that starting from fresh is rarely quick, and this year more than almost any other, we could do with coming out of the blocks quickly.
But nobody is bigger than the club.
