| Quote ="RedDave"Today's [iLeague Express [/iis carrying an interview with Martin Offiah in which he claims that Richie Myler has turned down Salford's contract offer.
It does seem ridiculous to me that half way through a three year contract we should have to suffer all this nonsense and uncertainty. Richie Myler still has seventeen or eighteen months left on his contract I think. I do think Mr Offiah is trying to build up his reputation as an agent; if Richie had an agent who didn't court publicity as much or wasn't trying to build up his reputation as an agent perhaps things might have been conducted away from the Sports' Pages and TV programmes.'"
Well said mate. Totally agree with the above statement.

| Quote ="LoyalFan"I believe that Offiah is doing his utmost to get Myler to Warrington. He'll have told him what he thinks he should do... and that will be to turn down the Salford offers and get set for a Warrington move. Myler has already said that he's leaving it up to his agent... which from that quote alone says that the offer is being refused by Offiah.
Either way... as an agent... Offiah will benefit financially whatever the option... he'll just benefit more if he goes with Warrington.'"
Offiah may well be doing his best to get Myler to Warrington. However the decision is still Myler's.
And has for 'leaving it up to his agent' - you're being a bit silly if you're implying that this means that he is letting Offiah make the decision. The reality is that if Myler signs for another team, Warrington or otherwise, it will be because that's what he wants to do and doesn't want to play for Salford any more. Money may well pay a massive part in that but the reality is that it's still his call.

I know mate, think it must be a thing of the past. Feel for your club if that is the case, as you gave him his chance when no one else would

Personally, I'd play him for the rest of the season and for the next season as well.
Make him play for us untill his contract runs out.
He may not have a fantastic season next year and the other clubs who want to sign him may not be interested.

These things are never made official until long after the event.
I am dissapointed in Offiah more than anything, he asks the club to offer Myler a record breaking contract which they duly oblige to and Offiah is left reeling as he thought he was calling their bluff. It hasnt been Myler's or Offiah's intention to sign an extension with Salford for weeks, but instead we all have to witness this circus.

| I see richie myler as rejected the new contract offer it looks like he is set to leave. What concerns me is the lack of ambition by the club to keep hold of him and again makes you wonder what is happening behind the scenes at the club. Also makes me have questions about the stadium

| Not sure how much more we could have done. We apparently offered a very long well paid contract but it looks like its not enough. Unfortunately we may have this happen again and again. However galling we cannot compete with better supported wealthier clubs. Until we have a new stadium and until we get a substantial sustained increase in crowds we will struggle to hold on to our better players. Warrington offer a better prospect right now than we do. Nice shiney new stadium National coach at the helm and as it appears more money than us. The lack of progress with the stadium has the potential to damage other aspects of our club and may ultimately cost us a franchise. Myler leaving for another club is perhaps the start of the end of our super league existence. Natural pessimist as i am i can only see a bleak future for us.The Stadium is a must have but where is it....

Erm, he left his home town club, that he supported as a lad, to come and play for Salford and the bright lights of Superleague. Why did you think loyalty was ever going to come into it?

Look... whether he has rejected it... or whether his agent has rejected it... what the hell do you suppose we could do ?
It's nothing to do with a lack of ambition... If he won't sign for whatever reason, then he won't sign. We cannot force him to stay. We've offered a huge contract... so what more can the club do. Best thing is to sell him now... It's absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH A LACK OF AMBITION.

I fully agree with your comments "LoyalFan"
In fact if Richard Myler is to become a Warrington Wolves player next season if it was up to me I would let him go now on loan.
The old and tested saying 'NO PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB' springs to mind.
But what I will say if and when young Richard does leave us at Salford he will get a good send off from the fans not like some players in years gone by..

| I think that Salford are in a no win situation, similar to Wigan with Chris Ashton a few years ago.
If they dont offer him a huge contract then he will go. If they do it will probably be for far more than he is worth as he is a 19 year old that is far from the finished article. Salford then run the risk of being left with a player that might not fulfill his potential and may turn out to be average. Indeed a big contract at this stage of his career could ruin him.

| TBH i'm glad he is going now. He is a quality player and i will be sad to see him leave us but if we do get a big transfer fee in the region of £500,000, that people have been stating, then we could get 4 or 5 good players to help us push for the play offs next season. Plus we'll have more extra cash with robbie and stapo going, who would of been some of our bigger earners.

| We won't get half a million for him.
Warrington have been in a similar position in the past where they have lost quality young players so they'll obviously be happy that the shoe is on the other foot. Maybe a few years down the line we could be the team poaching talent from other clubs.
I'll wish him well, can't say I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Warrington shirt though if he does end up there. I'm not selfish enough to want him to fail as we need quality internationals coming through.
Offiah should be banned from commenting on the subject in the media - he really has made a farce of the whole thing and rarely have I seen speculation where the agent gets as much coverage as the player in question.

| Let him go and treat the whole thing as a great business deal as far as Salford are concerned - paid £2.50 for him, sold him for £250,000
It may be that his contract at Warrington starts next season, but our rebuilding process would start now. He would no longer has a place in the side and we start to rebuild with the team we have, with a view to signing more.
Nothing personal Ritchie, but your agent can explain that to you.
First priority is to secure Ratchford and Adamson - in fact all this publicity around Myler has done us a favour ( thank God Offiah isnt representing either of them).
