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

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.

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.

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