Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and even more Crap XXII

[El Diablo]

he wouldn't be walking away unless his manager had something else lined up so he's either signed with the Roosters or Titans

 

[Jodeci]

It's all hot air and argy bargy methinks. Foran's agent runs to the press cos we went back to them asking for them to reconsider unreasonable terms. It does not mean that we have repudiated the contract.

I agree with ya Gronk

People need to calm down. Hooper from the Telegraph is just trying to cause more disharmony in the joint.

 

[insert.pause]

it's a terrible way to do business, when a ceo of a company makes a contract offer to a third party it is assumed he is doing so on behalf of the board, to then a few months later attempt to alter it on the basis the board never agreed to it is an appalling lack of oversight on many levels.

 

[Gronk]

It just looks like we are trying to remove the "politics" clause and Foran and manager are going "get f**ked no way", there has been some negotiations. Yet Foran refuses to any changes, manager leaks to media - get this up you eels!! We control the situation !! Either back down or Foran walks.

Agree.

This from a poster on FB which seems to make more sense than any of the media drama queens

Parramatta are trying to change the terms of his contract... We do not know what the FULL extent of those terms are... Foran is well within his rights

the article should be titled
" is parramatta about to backflip on Kieran Foran "

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Either way people, we have a signed contract. He can only (law experts correct me if I am wrong) walk if we let him.

I don't think a CEO leaving passes the "political" clause.

how can he sign 2 contracts ? he's not a Storm player

Agree with all of that. Staff churn does not equal club in crisis.

why wouldn't it?

and of course he can walk away if he wants to. It wouldn't be too dissimilar to any other employment contract. He isn't our f**king prisoner.

 

[Gronk]

Well it's worked a treat James. You have your 15 mins of fame.

yes, he has a contract, which means eels can't alter it without rescinding it, unless foran agrees to change.

He has a contract, so he could walk but we could stop him playing sports for 4 years. See SBW / Lyons / Tallis etc etc

A CEO leaving is hardly a massive "political issue", it happens all the time. Barry posted some good stuff on this.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Agree. So worse comes to worse we just keep him.

 

[Gronk]

Exactly right. The papers can say what they like "set to leave" is a massive stretch of the truth.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Agree. So worse comes to worse we just keep him.

Lets assume Foran is a professional and e-motional issues don't come into the picture. That he's capable of leaving everything personal out of the contract dramas. That he's strong relationship with Brad Arthur & Watmough is far more important and together working on getting this club back into the top 8 in the 2016 season and winning at least one premiership during Foran's 4 year contract.

 

[Chipmunk]

I doubt the word "political issue" is written in the contract.

I'm thinking the wording of the contract would say that Foran can terminate the contract at any time for whatever reason he sees fit. This is the reason why it has now become an issue.

I would imagine that "political issue" is a reason why Foran might terminate the contract and this has been used in media reports as 'an example', but I could also imagine that "a better offer somewhere else" would also be an option...

It's obvious that this agreement has been written in Foran's favour.

Rothfield has a live blog ATM

he just said

He'll (Foran) pull the pin if they change the contract that he signed.

So all of this is hot air by his agent. Eels enquire about fairness for both sides and Agent spits the dummy.

In fairness to Foran and his Manager, Parra agreed to the contract 2 months ago. How would you feel if you agreed to something in a contract and your new employer changed their mind two months later?
