Speaking of Blucher, we've heard rumours that Tippett has been suffering from depression and his leaving the club is an attempt to change his environment, which is often a positive strategy for sufferers of depression. Although not a sufferer myself I have known many people who have the neurological condition, including family members, and even though it seems odd that a man being paid extraordinary amounts of money to play a game might be depressed, the nature of depression as a neurological condition is that logic very rarely comes into the equation. There doesn't have to be a good reason for a sufferer to feel depressed, they just do.
However, it's also common for sufferers to fixate on one idea that they believe is going to help them, at the expense of considering any other options in a rational fashion. If he does indeed suffer from depression, then it's quite likely that this is what has happened with Kurt. He's decided that Sydney would be a good option, and he's not going to hear any other option. Doesn't matter if they're as good, or even better, that's not how the decision-making process works for a depressed person.
I'm only speculating of course, as I don't have a clue about Kurt's neurological state, but if it were the case, Blucher is a bigger scumbag than I thought. He would be literally taking advantage of a neurologically disabled man by encouraging him to stick by this one, narrow, course of actions. The more clubs Kurt talks to, the greater chance he is of finding favourable conditions, remuneration, respect, and so forth. However, Blucher is more than happy to take advantage of the situation, likely to benefit his sister and old mate in Ireland.
Of course, I'm simply speculating and could have the above all wrong, but it does makes me wonder. It would certainly explain some of Kurt's actions.
