Why is he quibbling with us over third party payment? I thought they had nothing to do with the club.He's blown more than that at the pokies.It's a bit rich trying to hit up the club to cover his financial shortcomings.Thanks for those games you played well in Chris,but now please,please,please f**k off.
If you want to believe Paul Kent then sandow personally called up one of the Obeid's to ask for his money that he's owed in TP's.
This may be one of the only times a fundraiser collects more than the required funds.
Maybe QANTAS might come on board and also offer free airfares to get him there in style.
I can just imagine that phone call."Give us me money, ya lebbo c**ts!"
Sandow wants to go, he can leave with $50k and walk straight into a $500k contract with a SL club by Friday. All good
OR
Sandow can try to play hard ball, miss the SL contract deadline (Friday) sit on the sidelines getting the rest of this year's Eels money and have absolutely nothing to go to next year. It's not even a choice.
Sure the Eels would like Sandow's cap money to spend this year on 2nd tier players but it's not a deal breaker for us. We'll make do either way. But Sandow has until Friday to accept his SL offer. I'd be threatening to withdraw the $50k payout too......just for dicking us around.
The reason Gordon was frantic to get here this year wasn't for the money, it was because our offer for next year was contingent on him being able to start straight away. At his age Gordon was desperate for another $200k-$300k before retiring, and we tried to pressure Cronulla to let him go by saying we would only sign him if he could start now. The Sharks called our bluff and kept the player.
The difference with Warrington is that they've already said they'll sign him even if he can't get an early release - they're happy to wait until next year. They're not going to up their offer just to help us let him go.
There's a good chance Sandow will stay and receive the full amount of his contract. The alternative is that he is out of pocket $80k minus whatever Warrington can afford for the rest of this year (which would be less than $20k).
