If they decide to release him, they can kiss goodbye the record memberships for next year.
No one is going to buy into another rebuild and Cleary has signed a number of players to long term deals so another coach has to inherit his team.

100% he wants out after 1 and a half years. And we thought he was a man of his words.

I don’t think I am alone in thinking if he has a contract with us and we are adamant he sees it out, that we expect stronger language than that. He’s pussy footing around, sounding like a politician. Big fan of Justin, but he dropped the ball here.
@ said:
I've heard Paul Kent claim that. I've not seen it confirmed.
Look at the facts:
1\. Ivan defected to a meeting with Penrith weeks ago.
2\. Penrith sack Griffin this week.
Conclusion: The Panthers have Ivan and they know it.
Remedy: we need to lock up Brooks ASAP before Ivan takes him to the panthers.
The combination of Brooks and Reynolds looked good before Josh’s injuries - a good combination I think.
I would piss Ivan off right now, getting compensated by the panthers THEN I would grab Michael Maguire immediately! He is a great coach and aggressive in the style of Craig Bellamy.

Could you make Penrith buy out his contract if they want him so badly?

We won't be letting him go," Pascoe told Fairfax Media.
"I've spoken with Ivan a couple of times today and the bizarre thing is there are all these whispers about big offers and long-term deals, but he's told me nothing has taken place other than the fact the Penrith chairman has reached out to him.
"The people out at Penrith or anywhere else can say what they want about having a good relationship with him and they're keen to get him to coach, but they're forgetting one key thing - he is contracted to the Wests Tigers, a club that is very proud and strong and who won't let Ivan go to a rival club.
"We will fight tooth and nail to make sure that doesn't happen. Clubs think we're a pushover and it's not the case. If rivals think they can try and come in and upset what we're trying to do here, they'll have a fight on their hands.
"It upsets me. The Ivan I know and the character he demonstrates daily and what he has done to assist us in rebuilding this club, it gives me the confidence he will only carry on with that professional manner [and not leave]."

For some reason, the real important quote was not included in WT2K’s post. Pascoe said straight out Cleary will not get a release. If he goes back on his word and grants him one he should resign.

I don't think he is pussy footing around - he has stated the facts - he can't stop Cleary from breaching the contract. I would have liked him to address that Wt would take legal action should Cleary do that. I would expect that he has already told Cleary that in private - so much for their close relationship.

No, I agree. I didn’t read the whole post properly. So I retract my last post. Having looked properly, I’m proud he stood up and made the club’s intentions clear. However, if he goes back on his word from here, he should resign.

I am pinning my hopes that Ivan will remain on integrity and the Club will reward him for this as the way I see it he cannot chose to stay under sufferance and then do crap job. As once the Penrith job gets filled it then where does it leave Ivan. Also if he stays then more ammo to get Nathan.
