I can't understand people's problem's with FA. I have had a few disagreements with him in the past but its always been a constructive discussion.

Not sure that the 1500 of us left still turning up[I include myself in that figure but in all honesty I couldn't be [iabsolutely[/i sure, even about me] could still be able to afford the administrators far from inconsiderable wages. To be honest, imo getting Gilfool off the payroll was the best bit of business done over the last closed season.

Think you may have fallen the wrong way off that line which divides genius from madness with that one Macbull.

His only way out was in refusing to be tupe'd over to the new company, which he quite legitimately didn't have to accept if he didn't want to, so under your scenario, as he would still have been under the old regime [in admin] he wouldn't have been tupe'd, so couldn't have legally left.

Unless anyone knows different..

Just because there's a few people on here that seem to know about contracts and the newco etc.

Does anyone know that if (in the highly unlikely event) Sam Burgess decided he wanted to return to the UK, would we still have the option to sign him that I remember was talked about at the time?

I'm not sure whether that would have died with the old company, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that, post-Harris, no club would be willing to put it to the test.
