I bet our solicitor has bought himself a yacht and named it "Centurion"

After all the 'walkouts/get outs' of Contracts Leigh have endured in recent times this action by Fev, would seem to be ironic to say the least

Derek must love a good old employment tribunal!

That just puts Fev at the back of a lengthening queue of those taking/threatening legal action! I notice one Swinton fan, on the Rovers' forum, has pointed out that Fev tempted him away from Swinton, in similar circumstances! Presumably JD can plead insanity - opting to join a team with no players, or money!

Anyone believing that after failing to make the top 4 this season, Campbell extended his contract a further 2 years. Not a chance in hell. He also forgot to mention that to his fans, you would think he may have told them.

He may have jumped into a fire but, by most accounts, the launch site was becoming a frying pan.

Agreed, I thought Duffy had the option of a '1 year contract extension' which was on the premise that Fev made the top 4 last season....

Misi Taulapapa & Gaz Hock jumping to Duffys defence on Twitter saying two sides to this story !

Terrible statement. No process of dismissal shown.

Don't see an issue. It's either broken the laws of the game or not.

A tribunal may adjudicate on that. If Beaumont is correct.... no problem is there???

I don't see what you're issue is here.

Agreed.



Someone has got it wrong and we can rely on the RFL to sort it out!

He didn't extend it after failing to make the top 4. The 2 year extension was announced in April, when Fev were riding high in 2nd place having already won at Leigh, and at a time when Leigh had a caretaker coach, it may even have been that MC had one eye on the situation at Leigh when extending Duffy's contract.

But was there a clause, stating that the extension depended on a top four finish? (with the associated financial rewards)

is this one of those occasions if the RFL adjudicates in our club's favour, they've got it bang right, and if it goes against our club they're corrupt, have a vendetta against us, bias, incompetent etc etc?

I blame it all on Brexit..and that game at The Shay! Lol!

yes there was, according to an interview with Duffy shortly before the end of the Shield campaign. Whether that clause was one-way or not (ie did Duffy have an opt-out clause as well as Fev if the top 4 wasn't achieved) I have no idea.

Isn't that always the case? Time to trot out one of my favourite Blackadder quotes again...





Captain Darling: So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.



General Melchett: Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war!



Captain Darling: And fortunately, one of our spies...



General Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

GFB,



Since you keep asking about it on the different forums the anouncement was here: [urlhttps://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/duffy-agrees-new-deal-GeFdj[/url, but like you I wasn't party to the actual contract details so have no idea what clauses were included (i.e. it could have said only valid if making the top 4 or it is at Fev's discression if not making the top 4, etc.).



However like you I don't think anything will come of any legal action.

You have to wonder why it wasn't sorted when Duffy suggested the contract was only valid if they made the top 4. Surely Fev spoke to him then?



Whatever is in the contract is in the contract, and that will play out. Seems to me like nonsense going on at both clubs. But I suspect Fev weren't too downhearted when Duffy didn't arrive for the first day of pre season.

First match - Featherstone away. Must be.

Think we're away at york

Exactly what I'd say in public - although, whisper it, I have known our club to be wrong occasionally!

(and yours too, of course!!

)

Not sure what laws of the game have been broken! Quite clearly states sacked for gross misconduct. That's an issue between Duffy and Fev to sort. Why "Leigh" had to be mentioned in that statement is of no consequence.
