Good interview with Derek on radio Manchester after the game setting a few things straight. Odd isn't it how when he says things in his own words there's nothing wrong, only when his comments get taken out of context by some website looking for clicks is there a commotion. I'm not too worried about any sort of behind the scenes massive turmoil so far it's all mostly rumours. We've got Derek's side of the story but nothing from the other side, Paul has only made some generic comments about honour & principles while Ryan has just said "I wish the fans knew" neither actually saying anything, if it was something major and serious we'd probably know by now. Instead all we have is some general rumours of something being a bit not right with a man people love to hate for some unknown reason, posted in the echo chamber of the internet. Hardly a journalistic expose.

Derek also invited Ryan and his agent to meet him and even said he'd invite Rowls as well as clearly the comments both Ryan and Rowls have made when leaving (in effect saying nothing but insinuating something is untoward) has really annoyed him and could be damaging to the club (witness the numerous theory's posted on this site and you can understand why).

For me though whilst I can understand Dereks annoyance we now need to move forward focussing on players who want to be here and a coach that wants to coach here, Rowley and Brierley was good whilst it lasted but its not worth wasting energy on them now, I'm sure Derek will ensure he gets compensated for Brierley should he go to Huddersfield (the only club to contact the club via official channels)but that aside I think its best the club now focussed on those players and staff committed to the club.

My take to any anti-Leigh fan, or any anti - DB , Is.

Stay away from the club and don't bother going to any games if that's how you feel.

And come back when you are ready to believe and support what Leyths goals and aspirations are.

Yes there has been unrest at the club of late, We either support our beloved club or we don't.

Are you on board or not?

Talking of Hudds, I notice that Derek said they wanted him as a full back - which in my option is spot on. If it wasn't for McNally I reckon we'd have seen him in that position a long time ago

Me too. It was interesting to hear Neil Turley say exactly the same, when Ryan overtook him in the Leigh all-time try scoring stakes.

Re: Ryan... : Sun Mar 06, 2016 10:12 pm  

as an outsider looking in , with a passing in interest ( due to the interest in Brierley from my club) i can't help but feel that this could end in tears for the leythers!
i hope for the many spot on Leigh fans it doesn't.

Re: Ryan... : Sun Mar 06, 2016 10:48 pm  

Unfortunately I don't think we will now get a single penny for Ryan Brierley, that ship has sailed, should his *4 weeks notice contract* be entirely enforceable then he will now go free to the club which bids highest for his salary or Salford (who we know he supports).

Whoever proof read his contract & O.K'd it should be boiled in a vat of P!$$ for making such a monumental b@lls up.

However, my silver lining in all this turmoil & quite frankly unprecedented injury list situation is that we are now forced to bring back Ben Reynolds, who for me could be a future international & one our best signings since Chris Hill/Ryan Brierley/Mickey Higham/Greg McNally .....
or even better.

Only time will tell I suppose.

Re: Ryan... : Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:05 pm  

I just hope the situation is sorted, and soon. Ryan wont play for us again, its a sad end to a great leigh career. However i'm not bothered about him, i'm bothered about the players who want to play for us, and ensuring our club is successful.

Re: Ryan... : Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:16 pm  

Well I hope Ryan changes his mind and stays but whatever I am a Leigh fan and will watch every match this season provided I live that long. Sack your agent Ryan.

Re: Ryan... : Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:35 pm  

We need to 'get rid' of the ones who haven't wanted to play for us since Paul Rowley left...
