Quote Rotherham Fev Fan="Rotherham Fev Fan"Didn't all clubs sign up to an agreement as part of the sky deal preventing them from taking legal action v the RFL/SL??
Someting on the lines of "if you don't sign this agreement that no legal action will be taken v sky/rfl/sl, you won't get any money"?
Or was that just champ clubs? Or is my memory going.....'"
For the 18th time, a contract is not binding if the terms are judged to be unfair; for example, if you work for me and your contract of employment says that I am entitled to punch you in the testicles every time you are off sick, I am unlikely to be able to enforce that contract.
That said, I'd probably say that we should take the decision on the chin - it would be suicidal and expensive to challenge the RFL and the outside world cares so little about the sport, that any perceived unfairness would not cause even a ripple of outrage. It'd be different if the governing body of football behaved like the RFL mind you - that would be front page headlines.
