Ok why we on it Ryan bailey refused a pay cut and spat his dummy out so that might be the last we see of him to wont be missed in my opinion

Well Every cloud...............................................Has a silver lining.

I got told the club (Derek) had stopped paying for his cortizone injections....

It would be interesting to find out how Burnham, Smith, Platt and Uncle Tom Cobley we’re supposed to help.
Raise Council Tax, Private Members Bill, new station, Just Giving Page, .......

also Acton said the same and he's taking the given he's
missed the last.3 years when's it's mattered being a dick

New member with a small amount of inside info, it wouldn't take much for a stubborn player to force the club into liquidation by enforcing their contract terms, baily not on enough money but someone like Acton could and from what I here at the moment he's not for compromising.

Actons the same and he should give Leigh some money back with the games he's missed the last 3 years for being an idiot

Mr Acton is alleged to be consulting his solicitors.

trouble is Harold he knows he won't get another club to pay him anywhere near the money he's on at Leigh and I think he's got another 2 yrs left on his contract so iv heard he said he'll sue...the club should sue him for misconduct because he goes missing last 2 months of season

You see with acton a former coach didn't want him due to his deceplin & lets be honest not that good to which his boss thought better & gave him a contract behind the coaches back, which was the start of things in him deciding to leave

Of course, any player forcing the club into liquidation, then wouldn't get any money, would they?

Another fascinating point - is a player who doesn't make himself available for selection, in breach of contract? Not sure how that stacks up with someone who is say, suspended from playing for extremely long periods of time?

I'm sure the Club would have been able to discipline Acton for his persistent discipline problems in the past? he should definitely have been issued Written Warnings and if so, he would be on a loser and his Solicitor would most definitely be on a winner!
Deliberately elbowing an opponent in the Head and, admitting to it!
I think you should cut your losses while you can Jamie!

Actions conduct both in and off the pitch is questionable to say the least. But...

When others have left we’ve wished them well. They’ve got families etc. Acton has a family and if he knows he won’t get that money anywhere else why should he sacrifice good money for a club? Yes the club has done lots for him.

Should we not be pointing the finger at whoever decides he was worth a 6 figure salary on a 3 year contract? Surely that’s who’s at fault? Lest we forget he was awarded this contract AFTER being banned for 6 months with no formal warning from the club about his conduct.

Acton is protecting his own interests. Management AGAIN is at fault for this situation. They created it.

hard to disagree with this

Sounds very very similar situation to Koukash at Salford, only Derek was more restrained than Marwan on social media.

Rowley has a good sense of smell then.

Not the Rancid Rangi Chase affair then ?

Obviously the coach was so anti the player, he selected him for a Grand final. I have no doubt DB has stuck his nose in too much, but you don't have buy some of the drivel on the Rowley side of things.

Hope to see you again next season. The championship wont be the same if you end up going under. (Fax Fan)

If he's all you've got you have to pick him dont you

Who we talking about?

He could have selected Tom Spencer for one, who was the one constantly sidelined by Rowley to include Mr Acton.

This was after which was also part of the decision to go

Probably derek wouldn't let him be dropped

Of course he wouldn't. Insisting on the selection of a relatively unknown 22 year old is clearly in Derek's MO.
