Always been greedy and selfish.This is essentially the crux of it. The club wants him gone but also wants a clean divorce. They'd have offered him a settlement, one which he'd have scoffed at. The difference in $ between what the club offered as a severence package, and what he'd earn if he sees out his contract could potentially be as much as half a million dollars. In my opinion Hinkley is now challenging the club to sack him, so he can get all his money. He has a contract.
Even back in his playing days.
