If he really want to leave, it's not about playing time, it's about dignity. He will not argue about playing time as if it was for the good of the term, he will put the good of the team before himself.
However it's the lack of respect from Crapello which hurt him most. He was not the first XI just because the coach had his own favour list. The coach will rather play an injury player, an out of form player or even a player who's just taller than him.
For God Sack He is our Captain, our icon and was just given 5-10 mins at the end of the match. He have given so much to the club and should deserve better treatment. He's will do everything for the good of the club and the team, however he still get his pride. Please pay him respect as he deserve much.
Forza Alex. We will support you whatever is you choice.
