Maybe it's a compensation thing? But the general communication from the club since the end of last season has been poor.Lea wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:36 pm Sorry to raise this but why have we had no news from Tigers on his move?
I dont think I have missed anything, but it was my understanding that we were promised that any signing or leaving players would be announced internally before anywhere else.
Please correct me if I am wrong

To win is not as important as playing with style!

The distasteful merry go round continues. I know the reasons for it..... But a little stability would help the nerves in these uncertain times.

Re: Jordan Taufua signs for Lyon OU with immediate effect
Just because Lyon or Jordan or the press announce he has left and signed for another club, he still has a binding contract with the Tigers.
If the Tigers haven't agreed with whatever financial compensation the French are offering, then he is still our player.
Why is this bad form from us, should we just let him go for nothing??
Manu et al sure jumped up and down when they felt we had reneged on their contract.

Re: Jordan Taufua signs for Lyon OU with immediate effect
Tigers could help themselves with some sort of comment, its obvious he is going & it is now down to monies owed, possibly in both directions. (The general level of communication from Tigers is poor again at the moment)
But boy we could of done with him on the field last night....

BBC "BBC Radio Leicester understands that he is in France and currently in quarantine ahead of joining up with Lyon's squad."

Couple of things
Waiting for Lyon to pay up
or
Waiting for his replacement to be ready.
If Lyon are not paying up yet or something then I certainly understand why the club is being like it is.

He may be in France but his move from Tigers may still need a few issues to be resolved......strawclearer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 6:46 pm BBC "BBC Radio Leicester understands that he is in France and currently in quarantine ahead of joining up with Lyon's squad."

Especially if the delay in payment is possibly delaying us being able to sign said replacement.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 7:08 pm Couple of things

I wonder if it has to do with when he's available for Lyon. E.g. if he tests positive in his quarantine then Lyon may not get him for another few weeks after they expected, and don't really want to pay for a guy who they thought was fit but wasn't, so there could be some clause agreed between clubs dependent on when he comes available for them.

I could not agree more young sir
It would be good to see the people at the top make the announcements rather than "sources"

After the acknowledgement from Mr Borthwick it seems he wanted to go and did so of his own violation.Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:11 pmMaybe it's a compensation thing?

If the man wants to leave so badly then let him go I say. I'd rather be without him than have him play but not be happy
Re: Jordan Taufua signs for Lyon OU with immediate effect
Not sure if anyone does tweets but this was from Adam Whitby yesterday.
Jordan Taufua’s situation “is an ongoing situation”, Steve Borthwick has just told me.
Edited to add: the time stamp on the tweet was 10:16 pm last night.
