Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[soc123_au]

Seems weird we offered such a good contract if we knew more than whats been reported. Hopefully it doesn't get messier than it already is.

If he is found not guilty next year, this could blow-up in the club’s face. Especially if the breaches pre-date his extension.

There are only two reasons I can think of as to why the sudden urge to sack him.
He is a becoming a massive off-field liability and the club want him gone ASAP.
Or we want to bring someone in and don't want to wait till late March next year.

The club isn't bringing the DV on the table next week. Very smart play cause as you said it could blow up in their faces. They will use his other off field liabilities instead. Which would tie him in a corner, but May could use the fact they re-signed with the club knowing all that.

Yeah the recruitment team has generally done a good job but have had some shockers this year.

Still time to get back on track

Yes it'll be the current contract which is for this year they'd be terminating not the extension so they can kind of squeeze it in with that.

The other reason maybe that they have info regarding the DV allegations that have not become public yet.

If he is found not guilty next year his legal representative will come at the club with everything. Whatever the possible breaches are.

As you expanded on my point about the breaches. If they were all pre-extension, then he can say why was I re-signed and then sacked when you knew about everything?

There is probably more to it we don't know about

There is something going on. I just hope in the long-term it doesn't blow up in the clubs face legally.
May has the same lawyer as Jackson Topine.

Expect fireworks then.

3rd option is. The board don't like the optics of May and want him gone for PR reasons.

Not necessarily. They could terminate the current contract making the extension legally pointless or they could show he kept the DV stuff hidden so even if not guilty he didn't act with integrity with the club.

without any real knowledge except whats in the media. i think this might be the angle.

f**k yes. Should have been an obvious move months ago.
Time for MG junior to spread his wings elsewhere

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Maybe the club finally realised Mav is miles off regular first grade. Good outcome anyway.

Well blade did say they were prepping Mav for the same style role sounds like they realised he's not it regardless of family name.

 

[age.s]

May's camp could argue the club want to reduce PR fallout over and above player welfare, but that's the risk you run when you make so many poor decisions across a longer period of time. Even if he's completely innocent of the DV charges, he only has himself to blame for giving the club the ammunition to do what it wants.

Somehow I get the sense he won't be particularly self reflective on the matter.
