Thought things were going too well.

I though it was a bit beyond that, he has an arrest warrant.

We need you to stay away from this forum. How's your career as a mod going.

I would think pretty easy seeing as nobody posts on their forum atm

Can't think why

As your judgments of Steve Michaels were made by seeing him in the flesh, you really ought to put yourself forward as a witness to the events, leading up to the claims made against him.

Also why did you not pass on to the club and authorities what you knew?

That forum needs to be shut down. About 5 or 6 posts per week and anyone with an opinion contrary to the mods gets booted.

I've never seen so many chips on shoulders and jealousy in one place.

I blame Agar for this mess. At least if Michaels gets the sack it'll free up some money to buy Hock

Seems to be a lot of thread drift on this subject, no idea why.

Anyway back on subject, Adam Pearson must be in despair, after Cooper, Gleeson and Rule being dismissed he must have thought those days were behind the club, and now this.

He would need to be arrest free before he will be allowed a visa back into the UK, once he is out he will not be allowed back until this matter is resolved.

So FC can and will have him for breach of contract and terminate it, if he goes home.

I am hearing that he has just been detained by Humberside Police along with others ........................

Shame, he showed promise against Warrington.

Not sure on the rules re the salary cap. He's appeared for us, does that mean his full annual salary counts even if he doesn't play again?

That's the way it was a couple of seasons ago, so I would assume it's the same now.

Pretty sure there will be special dispensation for things like this - surely it just acts like a transfer, ala Hock at Salford

Can't believe Michaels didn't fess up before Adam payed Arundel's contract off

10 counts of supplying a dangerous drug.
Unlikely he will get off

Send him back to Oz and let the case take place, if he does get proven innocent then have him back but I wouldn't pay him for now until it all gets sorted out.

Can't do that. The club could sack him but can't suspend him without pay.

I can only see him being deported on the grounds that a warrent is out for his arrest. And the oz judicial system will take over upon his arrival.

Here we have it folks.

This will happen. Mark berro's words, they've been known to be always correct.

Wont be the first time barnabus, certainly wont be the last either

Ah!! Birds of a feather.

Have to feel for Pearson another scandal and another mess. If Micheals is guilty I would like to think he would do the right thing and resign .The Club has done no wrong so why should the Club suffer.If guilty would the Club be able to rip his contract up with no chance of him challenging it?The Club needs to deal with this as soon possible or our promising start could be de railed

They think the cases in Australia could drag on for over 2 years, so the club's hands are pretty much tied at the moment.

In fact the players may well be allowed to continue playing over there until its all sorted, so AP may have to assume he's innocent until proved guilty, which is what the law used to say in this country until social media and the press took over.

Surely he has to go home to answer the charges? Depends what happens then. If he's bailed can he come back to the UK Innocent until proven guilty and all that so the club are in a difficult position if he can go back to oz then come straight back and continue playing for us

Lets be honest, if it was jo public, the authorities would have you arrested by now.. im sure the australian authoritys will be in constant dialogue with the uk counterparts to come to a conclusion, which will ultimately see micheals have to return to Australia to face his charges, if proven guilty, I dread to think the amount of time he'd bd gone for....
