TIM Sheens will walk away from Wests Tigers for good.
The Daily Telegraph has been told that Sheens has declined several newly-created roles within the club after being sacked as head coach on September 25.
Sheens had another two years remaining on his Tigers deal, despite club officials shunting him in favour of new coach Mick Potter.
Fearing the club may be taken to court, Wests Tigers offered Sheens a job in development - but he has rejected the role.
He will officially announce his decision to leave the club early in the new year. Wests Tigers chief executive Steve Humphreys declined to comment yesterday.
The club and Sheens, 62, have had on-going discussions about his future. Sheens could easily have stayed at the club and collected a cool $450,000 for the next two seasons.

However, it's understood that Sheens had decided to move on after a decade at Concord, which included winning the 2005 NRL premiership.
Sheens still wants to coach at NRL level at some stage but more immediately wants to focus on coaching Australia in a World Cup year.
"Right now, I've been appointed Australian coach and that's my focus. There will be a fair amount of pressure, not only on me, but the whole group to win the World Cup," he said recently.
The Kangaroos will start the tournament in Britain as firm favourites ahead of New Zealand and England.
Canberra coach David Furner had considered employing Sheens as an assistant coach but the Raiders opted for Brett Kimmorley.
And while the NRL club is on the verge of sorting out its excess head coach situation, the joint venture board remains a rabble.
"The Balmain and Western Suburbs factions don't see eye-to-eye," said one well-placed source.
Wests Tigers chairman David Trodden is a victim of the politicking, resigning from the post. "I hold a view that it is healthy for any organisation to have regular reinvigoration by bringing new people into leadership positions with fresh ideas and enthusiasm," Trodden told Weststigers.com.au.
"As much as I have a very strong emotional attachment to my club, no one person owns senior board positions and everyone has an obligation to make sure the club has access to new people and new perspectives."
Balmain has nominated Nick Di Girolamo as the new Wests Tigers chairman, but Western Suburbs-aligned Mike Bailey, the former TV weatherman, is likely to eventually take the chair.
The Balmain and Wests blocs alternate the chairmanship each year as part of the structure that was set up when the two clubs merged.

Also refers to the club as a joint venture and a merged entity in the same article.
I swear these blokes write their articles between races from the front bar at the Aurora Hotel.
Actually, not a bad gig if you can get it…

No-one walks away from a million bucks! I have not interpreted any of this communication to suggest he does not want his payout. He has merely knocked back the job offers but he is still entitled to his payout.
