Farah to SOUTH SYDNEY in 2017..OFFICIAL..

[goldcoast_tiger]

Oh, what a surprise. A business doesnt have a spare $600K to pay YOU tomorrow in the form of a top up termination payment. Im keen to know which NRL team or any other business could?

And whats that, the a###holes are prepared to pay your outstanding amount in exactly the same way as they and you have budgetted for if you were staying? The hide of these bastards.

So they are supposed to get to pick and choose what parts of the contract they like to uphold. Are They??
But Farah 's supposed to make it all hunky Dory for the club. They either want him or they don't
If they can't afford to pay what's needed to move him on, well they shouldn't have gone down that track.
Why wait till now to cry poor mouth, (
As I said , IF it's true

You have got to be joking. He is not staying because they don't want him - now you expect him to cop not getting what they owe him until they can afford it ??Maybe he can subsidse some more players contracts for the club like he did last time until they can afford to pay him.
Hate on Farah all you like but very hard to support the clubs position in this argument.

Im not joking despite your shock. Its a simple question. Who has that $$$$?

If he was sacked, ABSOLUTELY he should be paid immediately in full. But he hasnt been sacked.

If he was staying, he would be getting monthly payments like all players. Why should he get a lump sumpayment, yet the clubs commitments are still being counted in next years cap? You cant have one witnout the other. Sorry.

**Usually when your SACKED you don't get your entitlements .**
…and what happens when the monthly payments to Farah stop ..( which they probably will , knowing our club )!

600K is chicken feed .... Just pay him FFS and let's move on !

Of course you do.

Id like him to be paid if he is going too, but he cant make that call. Its not a right. If the club offers, thats great.

Id like to think the monthly payments would continue because they owe him, no question. I wasnt fond of the Sheens non payments, but given that was settled out of court, i think there was some issues BOTH ways on that one.

Again, the grubbiness of him and his manager leaking this. And leaking it just days before this important game. Very poor and not classy. And before anyone says the club isnt being classy…well that may or may not be true but if you value your own dignity, you dont get in the gutter with them.

Like every single other player ever to leave their club early, they are entitled to continued payments as per the original contract (being topped up) and the salary cap. NOT a lump sum. Simple.

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Lol, $250k should not be counted in this deal as it was back dated money that was already owed?
Wiedler rubbish and my God people are buying it.

I can maybe guess that this $250k was never listed in any years salary cap. So go figure.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS CIRCUS TO END.

I actually see this as a positive story, something is happening and they are in negotiations. Almost there.

 

[Regan]

Robbie has signed with Sharks

Source?

That's from Cronulla admin guy

His manager is Shaw doing his work

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Take a deep breath all, whether the leak is factual or not, it's just part of a normal negotiation in the event of a severance. There is nothing wrong with Farah, as part of the severance, asking for his Wests salary portion up front. In fact, pretty much everyone in his position would have that as their starting point in negotiation.

I can't believe you are serious either,the club are the ones who want to break his contract.
If they want him gone then he doesn't have to wait for instalments. They owe it , pay it or Shut up.
As for anyone leaking anything, we are a joke if the club thinks they can operate like a
Keystone Cops bunch like this. Good way to attract players in the future

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

This is all normal GCT. Effectively both parties are agreeing to break the contract, how it occurs is all part of the negotiation.

But it's not remotely simple, though, because Farah can say he wants a lump sum to leave and if he doesn't get it he's not going to sign anywhere else. The club can then pay him monthly (or whatever) per his contract until this time next year. The problem being, of course, that following the letter of the contract is categorically not the outcome the club is seeking - which is why it potentially has to negotiate.

Nobody is breaking the contract, it is a negotiated release. If you don't understand how contracts work then dial down the rage over it.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

If Farah will only take a one off payment, then he's within his rights, why would he , of all people trust the club . I'd be getting the lot as well.
They probably told him, "Trust us , we are Wests Tigers, we're broke, but we'll gladly pay you next year…..or the year after....,or.....

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Exactly, this is a "positive" leak. The wheels are in motion.

The club could have resolved this weeks ago. You can not blame Farah for this one. If they want another club to take him off their hands they have to make it possible.
And while vindictive types may relish the thought of him in reserves for another year it certainly is not a good look for the club.
And finally whether you like him or not there is one home game left and if nothing else the fans who do appreciate Farahs contribution to the club deserve the opportunity to acknowledge him before he leaves - which he is trying to do.

C'mon guys..this is some of the Sock Puppet's best work…

100% agree. But he can ask for whatever he wants. Doesnt mean he gets it. As i said, id like nothing more than to accomodate a lump sum if thats what he wants. If the club wants the payment plan, which is exactly what they are entitled to do, then Robbie is exactly entitled to stay and play reggies. I dont think anyone really wants that.

Robbie can also negotiate a lump sum LESS than his entitlement too. That might make the club interested and meet him there.

But to say he is automatically entitled to a lump sum if he moves elsewhere is simply wrong.

 

[Swordy]

I have said from the outset that I would like to see him move on. I dont hate him, but im not sure his manager has done him any favours.

Id also love to see an agreement so he gets a lap of honour this week end. Others may say he doesnt deserve that, but i think his many years of service should be celebrated by the fans at the ground, regardless of the downside of recent times.

Yeah I agree Swordy. Since when does a player being moved on have the right to a lump sum payment? Is that how these arrangements normally work, **and why is it our clubs financial details are always being "leaked" to the media?**

Because Farahs manager is best buds with trash journo Danny Liar

 

[rex2ce]

If there's no certainty that he has signed elsewhere, why would he get a send off as he's not going anywhere

 

[Harvey]

How can they work out how much to pay him when he hasn't got a contract with another club. As an employer, they would also need to take tax, super etc out. Give him his 350k and move on

As I posted some weeks ago, I believe that he has signed with Souths. Announcement this week?
