Reports of fresh talks news to Farah

ROBBIE Farah’s management have been left stunned by an open letter from Wests Tigers, which claimed the club had commenced fresh negotiations to keep its skipper beyond next year.

Farah’s agent Sam Ayoub has today told thetelegraph.com.au there had been no talks with Tigers officials.

"That came as news to me and Robbie," Ayoub said.

"The Tigers have had no contact with us about extending Robbie’s contract.

"We’re comfortable there will be talks in the near future, but as yet we’ve heard nothing."

Tigers CEO Steve Humphreys sent an email to Tigers members yesterday afternoon, just hours after Tim Sheens was officially axed as head coach.

"Our captain Robbie Farah is off-contract at the end of next year and you will be pleased to know the club has commenced discussions about a new deal," Humphreys wrote.

The e-mail described Farah’s signature as "our highest priority" – indicating just how hard the Tigers are determined to fight-off advances from rival clubs.

With Ricky Stuart now at the helm, Parramatta are expected to come into significant contention for Farah's services.

Whoever is appointed Tigers coach will have a massive impact on his future.

Amateur hour, yet again. This just emphasises that the problem at the club isn't just amongst the football operations, but goes right up to the CEO.
 
2 options -
1\. ayoub lieing through his teeth to make create a split between tigers and farah so he makes more money out of negotiations - highly likely
2\. humphries going with 'lets just tell the members whatever they want to hear. Noone will check'. Also highly likely
 
I know the club is going through hell but don't commit to words that are not substantial..

Why does everyone believe what the Telegraph prints???

Sams job is to get the best contract possible for his client. Don't forget this is the publication that yesterday ran the story that Sheens had quit and we all know how accurate that was.

The Tele has an agenda to destabilize our club. I don't know the reason but others on the forum may. They lack credibility and are nothing more than a fictitious magazine without the glossy pages!

The club has commenced discussions, does not necessarily mean Farah or his agent was involved.

Probably something like this:

Humpty: "Tim, do you think we should extend Farah's contract?"

Sheens: "Yes, but please focus on the job at hand. The exercise bikes will be over there this season. How many times do I have to tell you…"
 
We have issues in the management yes. They need to be reviewd after the coaching situation is sorted out.

It is no suprise though that it is Rothfield stirring this pot behind the scenes. Typical Telegraph that even in Grand Final week they would rather focus on scandal
 
Words re Farah from CEO yesterday in press release not from Telegraph.

Quote from ayoub - lying or perhaps lost in translation?

DT must be taken with grain of salt but surely it shows dysfunction within its communications internally and externally

Certain ex players love trashing the clubs admin while sinking piss with the old alco at Sharkies leagues
 
In isolation, I would tend to agree that the Tele is at it again but given Humpty's recent track record, it is not a good look at all
 
The saddest thing yet again is that this week 6 teams are competing for the biggest club prize of the season, two of them Wests Tigers/affiliated and this is the story that gets all of the attention.

That is it for me for this week. Sick of talking about the rabble that grabbed their ankles and took a violent pounding from the Roosters when their season was on the line and were having a good old laugh at training come the next week because they are all just such good mates.

Bring on Sunday

Exactly this! Media can't seem to catch a breath with everything going on at Tigers. As soon as something is resolved more issues are unstitched.

It does help when Robbie's manager has been quoted

What track record? Provide one example that you did not read in the Telegraph that you have been lied to by the CEO?

This doesen't in anyway mean they have nessecarily met with Robbie as yet - it perhaps means that they are putting toghether an offer to take to Robbie, discussing our position internally as far as salary cap and who to let go, looking at deal lengths we would be willing to offer,etc.

Take note of the two words that are highlighted. That suggests that there has already been communication
