Nelson , if the club shows NO loyalty to a player, it deserves none from the player.
Farah showed plenty towards the club when he signed and agreed to get less at the beginning of his contract, and have it nade up in the last two years.
This resulted in the club being able to pay more to money to other players.
Now when Farah is due to get the money that his contract stipulates he has to Cop s**t
From a small of club supporters because he is taking up a large part of our Cap
If the club had a better hooker that's fine. But we haven't , not even close.
This is just a case of a club trying to slither out of paying what they Originally said they would.
The club should fully live up to their side of the contract and not try crawl out of it by getting another club to pay part of his contract. They made the deal now they've got to pay for it ,
I don't care if it was previous officials, it was a deal signed off by the WTs, Honour it!!!
The club and Taylor stuffed this up in the beginning , and whatever they do , it just increases the crap name that our club is getting with the wider league Community.
As I said in another post. Other players may not forget how our club treats one of its few few players who has , and still is putting everything into any time that he runs on to the field
Bet the reserve graders will love having him in their team.
Just sit back and listen to the sound of the other clubs splitting their sides,
There are players out there who flat out take unders to stay with a club they love. They don't take it on the condition it will be made up later, they just flat out take it. That's real loyalty. I don't think deferral of payment is in the same league as that. Sure it helps the club (in an extremely shortsighted way on the part of the club) but it's not really making any great sacrifice for the club.
At the time of his last contract he was strongly linked to Parra. Ayoub did everything he could to maximise the value of Farah's contract by courting Parra and he succeeded - the contract is a big one even omitting the back payments. So he treated it like a business. He can do that, he's perfectly entitled to. I don't personally think it leaves him in a great position to play the loyalty card though when the club turns around and makes business decisions of its own.
This idea of all these players loving clubs is , in the main, a fantasy,
There are a fair few reasons why a player takes unders to stay with a club. Ranging from, using it as an excuse for no other club offering a higher amount. Sounds better tham "I couldn't get a higher offer"
The player getting money on the side , so says he took unders. Which may appear on his contract, at least the official one. Have we heard of that one before???
The players/ wife/ family/ don't really want to move from am area/school etc.
Playerswant to play for a particular Coach ( I admit that the last one isn't one that Taylor has heard often) E.g. If Bennett went to coach Oodnagullabi Reserve grade, Darius would be there in a flash . Even if he was paid nothing.
But there only so many Darius's around, thank God.
Just a few reasons, but there a heap of then. The same as Robbie not wanting to move away from Family.
As for Ayoub .
His job is to get the best deal for his client, and it seems like he does a good job.
Abuse him all you like, but he gets results for his clients, and that's what he's paid to do
Farah didn't have to take backloaded payments, but it helped the club.
Now we have people saying he's not worth it,
His money he is paid in 16, and 17 is not an indication of his value today.
It's his value over the 4 yrs , two of which he was paid a lot less than he should have received in the first two years. Simple isn't
So we can stop whingeing about him receiving the amount he is costing the club. As there's two years worth of unders in this and next years payments
I notice that Robbie said last night that he will be at WTs next year, so you'll probably be relieved at that news. I think it's great that we'l have such a good reserve grade team .
Maybe a premiership. Which of more than Taylor will see.
Nelson You've got to remember it's a profession, not a game,
Players will take more, or less, or longer, according to what their lifestyle, family or ambitions are,
Very few, if any , actually "love "The Club enough , to not put them and their family first( as it should be)
Clubs will have to learn that the contracts that they sign are not a shopping list that can be torn up when it suits and that they cannot force a player to move on unless that player wants to
