Benni had a choice. If he had gotten fit then I dont think Sam would have had any excuses not to play Benni, as it is, we can clearly see that Benni is nowhere near the fitness that he was at when he first arrived.
The fact that neither Hughes/Ince or Allardyce have managed to get Benni into decent shape clearly shows that the guy just doesnt have a great deal of motivation off the pitch.
Regardless of how you view Allardyce, you cannot defend Benni for the way he has behaved over the past week. Its not good enough by anyone's standards. Its petty, childish and selfish, especially when you consider how much we, as supporters have lauded him over the psat 3/4 years. We knew he wanted to leave but to have left in this way is pathetic.
Who is more at fault? Allardyce for demanding Benni to get fit and then not playing him or Benni for not getting fit enough in the first place, and then refusing to train in order to engineer a move away. Im not saying that Allardyce hasnt done anything wrong but Benni is by no means an innocent party here. He is no victim.
