Quote: theredshed "I find this rather hard to believe because players often require surgical procedures throughout their careers. Surely the club has a comprehensive medical policy that covers every player? If they didn't, to pay on an individual basis for each private treatment would be an astronomical cost.
Also if the breach of contract applied in Theo's case why didn't it apply to other players in legal dispute with the club?'"
I assume it did, but in Theo's case he had an agent who was on the ball and used Salford's breach against them. It was a good few months ago I was told about this so cant remember the story 100%, but it was something along the lines of a lapsed policy that either hadn't been renewed or paid. The club were struggling to find a suitable alternative group policy and I think ended up needing to take out individual policies for each player. It sounded like a typical Martin Vickers gaff.

Never heard anything to do with a vehicle lease.
