Of course, any player forcing the club into liquidation, then wouldn't get any money, would they?
Another fascinating point - is a player who doesn't make himself available for selection, in breach of contract? Not sure how that stacks up with someone who is say, suspended from playing for extremely long periods of time?  |

I'm sure the Club would have been able to discipline Acton for his persistent discipline problems in the past? he should definitely have been issued Written Warnings and if so, he would be on a loser and his Solicitor would most definitely be on a winner!
Deliberately elbowing an opponent in the Head and, admitting to it!
I think you should cut your losses while you can Jamie!

Actions conduct both in and off the pitch is questionable to say the least. But...
When others have left we’ve wished them well. They’ve got families etc. Acton has a family and if he knows he won’t get that money anywhere else why should he sacrifice good money for a club? Yes the club has done lots for him.
Should we not be pointing the finger at whoever decides he was worth a 6 figure salary on a 3 year contract? Surely that’s who’s at fault? Lest we forget he was awarded this contract AFTER being banned for 6 months with no formal warning from the club about his conduct.
Acton is protecting his own interests. Management AGAIN is at fault for this situation. They created it.

Sounds very very similar situation to Koukash at Salford, only Derek was more restrained than Marwan on social media.

Rowley has a good sense of smell then. |

Obviously the coach was so anti the player, he selected him for a Grand final. I have no doubt DB has stuck his nose in too much, but you don't have buy some of the drivel on the Rowley side of things. |

He's no good - the lad is huge but couldn't bust through a wet paper bag. He was crap at Wigan, he was crap here, and christ knows why Saints then signed him. Predictably, he was crap there as well.
He's now where he belongs, in NL1.[/quote]:White Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif |

He could have selected Tom Spencer for one, who was the one constantly sidelined by Rowley to include Mr Acton. |

Of course he wouldn't. Insisting on the selection of a relatively unknown 22 year old is clearly in Derek's MO. |
