It is not an ultimatum right. If taken in the right spirit and as long as the manager takes the final call there is nothing wrong in taking a well weighted opinion from your club captain who loves the club greatly.
The problem I see with it, is that it isn't really fair to other players is it, you're putting one of your players on a different level than the others, then why shouldn't any other players have an option to state their opinion as well, just because RvP is a better overall player than most doesn't make his opinion better, it could possibly cause animosity in the locker room too. Plus, like I said already, it shouldn't have gotten to this point to where we need an opinion from one of the players on who to bring in, the manager and the powers at be get paid to make those decisions, not RvP. We should never get to a point to where you have to kiss a players ass a bit in order to get him to stay.
