There are other clubs out there that would give him the money, and he wouldn't have to put up with the guy upstairs making decisions for him.

Blackburn's director of football, Shebby Singh, has admitted the situation surrounding Steve Kean's future as manager of the club "gets worse by the day".
The Scot has failed to reach Singh's target of 16 points from the first seven games and there is mounting speculation that his dismissal is imminent, despite Rovers having their best ever start in the Championship.
They are currently in third place, behind Brighton and Huddersfield, with 14 points, following their relegation from the Premier League last season.
"Unfortunately, the momentum [of the speculation about Kean] built up so fast it was quite difficult to step in and react," Singh said. "We have people heading up different departments whose responsibility it is to step in but unfortunately it escalated at such a fast pace that before you know what happened, it hits you in the face.
"It should not have been allowed to escalate like that but it did and the situation gets worse by the day. Financially now it is not a good situation because the fans are staying away. The club needs revenue to survive.
"I guess with having played seven games now I think it is a situation which is not a very pleasant one and I suppose it is my bosses, the owners of the club [Venky's], who have to make an assessment."
The club’s Indian owners will finally axe Kean after accepting that keeping him on has manager has rebounded on them financially.
Attendances are down 40 per cent despite Blackburn’s promising start to the season and the team are still without a shirt sponsor. It has also emerged that current match day revenue does not even cover the wages of summer signings Jordan Rhodes, Danny Murphy and dingdongson Etuhu.
