after listening to the wests life podcast tonight I’m almost certain my theory that Richo offered that extreme amount to Flush out Galvin is true .
1. You get wind that the dogs are tampering in January . You try and instigate contract talks . You get ducked and weaved for months .
2. When you finally do get an interview , you know shits about to go down so you offer extreme overs confident in the fact that your mail is right , and the kid is committed elsewhere.
3z shit goes down , not what you thought was going to happen , but it still goes down , and your predictions are correct . You send a media release and all hell breaks loose .
That’s basically the theory .
Here’s the reason i think it’s true . If you’re his manager , If you’ve got promises of a certain amount from a club, but they can’t go over that amount , how do you keep his price down ? Especially when the knights have screwed the whole market by giving a big average footy player 1.3mil a year , and there’s rules in place around having to offer market value for a player . So if the tigers register an offer at 1.1m you now have to come close .
You’ve been getting your player to record any thing eventful that’s happened to him over the last year or so , not sure how you were going to use it , but probably to get out the club . Now that the market has shifted you are getting hassled by the tigers to negotiate a new deal , knowing the tigers will probably register a contract for over a million. If they do that , then that screw your client with the bulldogs , has now the dogs have to come close to that offer .
So you go into the meeting and flat out reject the offer . Knowing it would be suspicious , you use the evidence you’ve been collating to get out of the club. , to put in a bullying complaint , justifying your reason for rejecting the contract .
Now you take that list to a lawyer ..: and wait . The tigers eventually can’t stand how toxic the dressing room is … and now you’re telling the dogs they got thier man L…..
I’m certain that’s exactly what happened .
