First match - Featherstone away. Must be.

Think we're away at york

Exactly what I'd say in public - although, whisper it, I have known our club to be wrong occasionally! (and yours too, of course!! )

Not sure what laws of the game have been broken! Quite clearly states sacked for gross misconduct. That's an issue between Duffy and Fev to sort. Why "Leigh" had to be mentioned in that statement is of no consequence.

I always found it a little strange to why Duffy opened up stating that he 'would love to coach Leigh' during the 8's.

Was it a strange thing to say, or was it simply 'My contract is null and void and I would love to coach a team for whom I have a big association with' ?

Fev have stated that they now have a vacancy and I doubt anything will come of it.

Leigh have never announced signing Duffs so we've done nothing wrong all rumours and hearsay , no doubt he's going to be or next coach though for once our silence has been to our advantage

Thats a tough first game after Fev's off season.

Perhaps due to an illegal approach?

Possibly. But given Leigh where/are under special measurements ie no expenditure. That's going to be very difficult to prove.

And there's the rub.
Campbell may believe he is in the right and has a case and may press it.
If he does, the RFL may have to hear it. I don't see owt wrong with that and that's why I couldn't understand your earlier post.
Fwiw I doubt any action will be taken but I've been wrong afoore

It may have been before we were put in special measures?

Taken from Leigh's official announcement of JD's signingLeigh Centurions are aware of a press release published by Featherstone Rovers and can confirm that the Club is taking legal advice in respect of the release.

In light of the pending advice, the Club does not believe that it is appropriate to provide a substantive response apart from putting on record that it requested, on several occasions, the alleged contract between Featherstone and John Duffy. Despite these numerous requests, this has not been provided.

At no time did John Duffy sign a further contract with Featherstone Rovers nor did he verbally agree to remain their coach beyond the 2018 season. Further, on 20 November 2018, Featherstone terminated the original contract with him.

Therefore, John Duffy is not contractually bound to Featherstone.

I suspect the 'truth' of the matter probably rests half way between DB and MC's statements!

I believe the agreement between Campbell and duffs was only verbal and not set in stone so that will prob go in our favour

X be reet

Let's just say, hyperthetically for arguments sake, a coach does not actually sign an extended contract, and once his current contract expires enquires at another club much nearer to home about a vacant coaching position.. What then?

As an aside and totally unrelated, Anyone remember Richard Whiting and an extended contract with Leigh, before hastily departing for Toronto?

My memory you know is not as bad as some may think it is.
