it's called denial
In the abc interview, Gallop said something along the lines of any player who signed two contracts HAD to have had alarm bells ringing
common sense, no?
Apparently not if you believe the populace here and in some facets of the media taxidriver.
Honestly, and for f**ks sake, I know some footballers aren't the sharpest tools in the shed the MINUTE you put your X onto two near enough to identical documents for differing amounts then surely something, some semblance of individual thought, must click over in the brain to say "well how come I am getting deposits into a nominated account for X amount by way of the storm, but I seem to be copping all these kickbacks that don't have a company attached to them or tax?"
I f**king tell you what, after all the drinking that has gone on over the last few years, they sent players to behaviour courses.
After all the other sh*t, there was a course for that.
NOW for this sh*t fight I think its time to send the players on another course, the one titled "USE YOUR BRAIN FOR ONCE f**kHEAD!" outlining the principles involved in legally binding contracts, the reason that any 'duplicate' should be a carbon copy of the original, all alterations / codicils are noted properly and maybe some basic accounting, like how if you and 5 of your mates are on $500,000 then it really doesn't leave much for the rest of the team to play with, if you only line up with 10 other blokes then all is well, if you continue to be surrounded by a team of superstars, start asking questions.
