Hi, Chris... Just wondering if wanted to "reconsider"
your retirement?? On a separate issue whilst you're here... I'm just going to leave this envelope on my desk (the contents of which won't count towards the salary cap) whilst I nip to the toilet.

What's that?? You think you might retire now?! Oh... well, if you're sure. You've clearly counted... I mean, thought long and hard about it.'"
It's clearly an financial arrangement. Wire get a better player in their squad, Hicks gets the money he'd have got anyway but without having to risk injury and an extra year in England to earn it. In the meantime he can always play back home and earn a bit more on top.
I think we need to be aiming higher than a one season special. He is a good player, no doubt but I would rather see Thompson playing more games next year than plug a gap with a short term pension top up contract.
No disrespect, he is good, but doesn't do much for our future.
