Wrong on both accounts, Leon Ruan was offered a "reserves" deal not a first team deal, so wasn't an improved deal so the clause was not valid and Ollie was exempt from the fee as he was 22 on when the year that 1st December fell, as for his deal that he was "supposedly" offered, well there are deadlines that are supposed to Be kept to and when your agent makes 17 attempts to contact the club to discuss what may/may not be happening, only to finally be acknowledge once an offer was received from another the club, well that says it all.

I believe they all smell very nice.

Michael Carter has stated publicly that Batch was offered a 10% pay rise.

I’ve given Carter praise for stabilising the club on a number of occasions, you and a few others on here really do have your head up your jacksi when it comes to seeing only what you want to see.

Batch wanted to leave before he eventually signed his last deal.

He felt his time was up at the club 2 years ago after watching his brother develop in a different environment.

KR offered him a good deal and a 4 bed house and he was very impressed by his conversations with Willie Peters.

Whoever is feeding you this information is way off the mark.

As I've told you already paying the bills trumps principles every day of the week, not sure where you get to hold the high ground regarding morality, once again it does not pay the bills, your clueless as to the ins and outs of this contractual business regarding these 2 lads, and like one or two more are using it to cause some embarrassment to the club, which has now embarrassed yourself by now saying that you know more than anybody on here regarding the law on the situation, and you call other people pathetic.

I notice that along with a couple more on here when you've lost your credibility you revert to playground insults, very classy .

On the subject of "principles" - we have the high ground here.

We are following, not disregarding the rules. That's a principled approach.

You would lack principles if you attempted to subvert or bend the rules.

Surely they have now signed for another club we won't be paying them anymore?

We still have to pay them.

How i read it is they only have to pay them if we wish to retain the registration which would entitle compensation if they signed for a RFL Member club, if they stop paying them that waives the compensation if they then sign back in the UK.

I could be wrong but thats how i understood it

I’m guessing a few SL clubs or top champ clubs are interested but aren’t willing to part with the fee to Trinity.

Let’s not forget that these two last have been developed through the academy and into the first team with time and effort. The club I believe wanted to keep them also but the financial package couldn’t be agreed.

If we waver it the all the hard work of raising 2 good young players just gets wasted into nothing.

Seems like a no win situation for the club.

Shame on the clubs that turned their heads but left them high and dry, not forgetting the role of their respective parasites.
