No WYB, Leighs statement that appears on our official site was going to appear in the League Express also, but it appears from the info that Mr Chairman gave, that the club pulled it at the last minute, so it didn't appear.

Right I see doh!
Its sad tho now that not only people in Leigh know that Leigh still struggle with relations with their amateur Clubs but now the whole RL do lets just forget about it and move on!

Weres the drama...lad wants as much money as he can get...leigh will only pay him x amount...lad picks salford...leigh call him a money grabber and world keeps spinning

Has he picked Salford? Are Salford even still interested?

The lad would like to sign for Leigh, I.M has now decided he doesnt want him and thats it in a nut shell

It was reported he had an agreement in place to sign for Leigh, but then there was this alleged interest from Salford, and he asked to think about the Leigh offer again. Maybe IM feels, he would be distracted to easily at any whiff or rumour of SL interest and would not be 100% committed to the team.....just a thought, not an implication or accusation.

If you offered someone a job and they verbally agreed and aranged a meeting to sign everything off, then they cancelled because someone else was now interested, then, when there was no interest, they wanted to come back to the original offer, what would you think.

They will have had a reason for 'pulling' the deal. I suppose depending on what the reason was would dictate whether it can be resurrected.

May I just add Mr Chairman, I think that part of your statement above ie "We didn't handle it right at east" is missing from the report in the League Express.

At least leigh east are humble enough to admit that,unlike some peoples stance over the original statement.

Thankyou Mr Chairman, and it should now stay between Easts and Centurions (maybe should have been like that to start with). This messagboard has probably not helped matters either.

Would the club have a need to issue any statement if there had not been so much discussion on this subject on here, all that was required was for everyone concerned to keep a lid on things until the ink had dried on the contract. It was wrong for anyone to assume anything, these things happen in all business contracts every day. It was a mistake MR C to post on here before the deal was done, it was a mistake by the club to release the statement worded as it was, but the question is why did they feel the need to release a statement at all, do we actually believe we here about every deal for a young talented player we dont manage to sign.

Damned if they do damned if they don't.

well lets hope to hear certainly millwards side of things tomorow night.

If court action has been threatened then I would be very surprised if anything is said about it on Wednesday

i thought you couldn't talk about it if court action was ongoing not just threatened, i could therefore threaten to take anybody to court and stop people talking about whatever it was.

My advice would be 'say nothing about the incident in case court action is forthcoming' now Im not a solicitor but anyone with even half a brain cell could understand that being good advice.
