Ash has made it public that when his time comes to retire (either through injury or loss of contract) he wishes to remain living in the area - he is that black and amber. I, for one, would not like to see him leave and play elsewhere.
You have to wonder just how disruptive his presence in the dressing room is as well. The huge differential in wages must rub up some of the other players the wrong way. Personally I'd be happy to see him go, even if we have to "support" his earnings.
