like what ? a gold watch or a Ferrari ?
he has so many awards and trophies and milestone awards from the club .. a nice 7.5 Mil is a great farewell gift for the Captain as he is not retiring
i know he's a legend that is why i dont think that money is a good gift. i find it rather rude.
they should give his children scholarship(if he has any), or like dm said, a stand.
if they really wanted to award him with money, do it when he is old, who knows he needs the money then more than he needs it now.
just saying...that is how i would treat my employee..
