says that — casual reported speech

Reports what someone said, with the quotative 고 dropped and 하다 swapped for 그러다; the full form would be 은퇴한다고 하다. It very often sets up a condition, 'if someone says X, then...': 고기가 나온다 그러면 그날 밥은 맛있게 먹을 수 있었어요. It also introduces what people call a thing — 소위 말해서 똥줄 탄다 그러죠. This is spoken shorthand; written out it looks wrong.
