Just a small tin pot club with no money.

Paywalled. Does the article have quotes or is it a Buzz / Hooper claim ?

It's not that we don't have money, it's that we haven't been willing to spend enough of it.
Also other clubs have more money.

I can't read the article so not sure over how many years this $10m was over, but from the outside looking in it seems a crazy decision to turn down that amount of money. He either really wants to retire soon, does not want to leave Melbourne or is afraid of f**king up his legacy with another team away from the Storm system.

Found another source saying it was a 4 year contract.
$2.5m a year.
f**k, that crazy money to turn down.

What a coward.

I dont blame the club for giving it a crack despite it being probably a 10 million to 1 shot anyway.

Bellamy has never lived or worked in Sydney as far as i believe despite being from NSW.

Grew up in Portland in the country moved to Canberra as a player then coached there before moving to the Broncos in Brisbane under Bennett for 6-7 years then signed with Melbourne.

I think he prefers flying under the radar down there where he can just coach without much publicity and bring in all the WWE crew to train up the players.

He has a job for life and does he really need the money i assume he has set up the family for life. He is probably been on close to 2 million a year anyway for the past 5 or 6 years.

Plus he has knocked back the Broncos about 6 times already hasn't he.
