Gonna be an interesting few weeks,I’ve no doubt McKellar will be approached. Probably not publically due to legal reasons but there’s ways around these things. I used to think he would go,now I’ve gone the other way. Jones was always going after that disaster although there were many on here that believed he was gonna stay on. Not a chance! He was gone really as soon as they were out,it was a just a case of the legal teams getting together and sorting out the payoff side of things

From the many articles I've read he's either resigned or left by mutual consent.

I mean depends what the clause is? Most contracts have clauses that require payment.
Borthwick had a clause in his contract still required RFU to pay.

Personally reads more like a website wanting to get some clicks considering they start mentioning more names at the bottom and pretty all "If's"

Dan Mckeller has made a big decision to move to the UK and his kids have also started a new school…..lots to consider.

I don’t think the family bit makes much difference not as if he’s moving to another foreign country they would be moving home

What was that I said about clauses and contract breaks? These people aren’t stupid! There’s all sorts of legal jargon in these things. And his kids aren’t settled already,it would’ve just been like a long vacation so far.

As with all these scenarios, no point in keeping someone that wants to leave, regardless of contract clauses. Depends on what he wants I reckon.

No,but kids are resilient. I’m sure they would be ok ,and how do we know they are not missing home anyway? Has anyone thought of that instead? McKellar will make the best decision for him and his family and rightly so! They come first. But for all we know he might not even be approached,they might have someone else in mind

Exactly,and that’s all that matters. Him and his family,and future career.
