Westwood needed to play so many games to trigger a contract extention We couldn't afford to pay him another year on the wages he was on, so he was frozen out I think it was when Lukukay was manager The manager tried to protect the club by saying he Preferred Dawson Dawson got stick, the manager got stick, but not the club Or it could have been when Monk was manager, my memory plays tricks But that's the gist of it Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Utah Owl Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 6 hours ago, DoesJackHunt said: Not sure which players but I heard we once made one player eat only rice pudding for a month because they did a foul throw. Didn’t even let him put a dollop of Jam on it……Disgusting! Could have been worse, could have been Tapioca! Anyway, basically what we have here is a former employee bad mouthing his former employers. Let's face it we've all done it ourselves, nothing to see so let's move on and keep the positive vibes going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hit an amount of games we had to give him another year on his deal so we stopped playing him until he agreed to waive that clause in his contract.

The article said there was something in the contract the club “weren’t happy with” but the club had agreed to have it placed in there, no doubt to get a Miller to sign it and Miller will have thought he’d be rewarded for good performances with another year and a bit of security in his early 30’s. I think this was very bad of the club at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleblue Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Devils advocate. Why does a player have written into a contract that after reaching a certain number of games it triggers an extra term of contract? is it not in the Clubs interest to do so if they want the player to extend? is it not in the Players interest to do so if they want to extend? is it not fair for both parties to bear in mind what they want at the end of the normal length of contract. is it also fair to say that one of the parties involved decided to use the agreement to their advantage? I for the life of me cannot see a problem, both parties signed the agreement. In fact the Club lost out because they could not use a player on their books because they did not want to extend.
