Still not a lot of clarity what really went on between D C E and the Manly management last year in particular .
Some reports D C E wanted or asked for a release at the start of last year , other reports that Manly were having informal discussions with another contract extension late last year .
But tend to think that it was fairly clear from Manly management that the offer would be less then what he was currently on and in the 750 K range and fairly firm on that .
Hard to say the full circumstances of the reports of an early release request if that was actually factual but would certainly think that D C E would have been quite peeved or displeased with Manly "s reduced offer from around the one mil Manly offer at whatever stage
From Manly's or a club perspective , would have seemed a more then reasonable or realistic position with the purported reduced contract going forward for D C E and he would have been fully entitled to enter talks with rival clubs after Nov the i st last year .
Probably did but if he was that disenchanted continuing on with Manly after 25 , why did he not finalize and make public some probable intentions or outcome then
Anyway , irrespective if the or any substantive details of what really went on prior to the start of 25 , still pretty inexcusable for most of D C E "s general conduct and media related and directly harming the Manly club and team cause for this season or from the early stages of this season
