I like how you keep repeating my questions Sam, it makes me feel all warm and fluffy inside... And the interesting part is not to do with the team's reaction, but with the leagues' - will they allow someone to play for team A whilst owning team B?

Why would what he owns make a difference?

He could be a silent partner............

Sounds like he wants to be a big fish in a small pond.

Good move for LA and Ollie.

Andrew,

Think about this post, then at lunchtime I want to you write 'I must not post without thinking things through properly' 500 times, do you hear?

And did you get the call from Rodney yet? Everyone knows you are the man to replace Lang and keep Dynasty on top. Don't let them get you on the cheap...

It may seem like coup now but Dave has A) upped the ante on top players and set a precendent wherein sponsors will have to consider signing players and teams and B) begun the process of fomenting discord in his own team. What about the rest of the Ironmen, are they chopped liver? And more than that if Ollie is worth X aren't the rest of them gonna claim some percentage of that as their due? It may seem like a big deal now but it's a whole new set of problems too.

Missed this...

It doesn't need to be a problem if it's done smart. i.e. Dye has employed Ollie as a spokesmodel/product consultant/whatever, and as part of his contract he has to play with a Dye sponsored team, same as Wing, benini et al.

Shouldn't cause any problems at all as long as he is 'working' for Dye.

And as for upping the ante, a lot of Pro captains feel that Rich Telford already did that...

Really, the rest of the team should be happy - their chances of winning prize money just skyrocketed.

Duff,
First sorry sir bad morning!

Second, my phone has not stopped all weekend, Ryan and Rodney are just hassleing me now it is getting to the point of stalking! I will tell you the same as I told them, my agent is looking into the offer, which is in the region of £1 and a bag of chips, once he has looked over it all I will make my decsion, but between me and you it looks like a done deal!

You wana talk about upping the ante, well you sir, just did!

Seriously though i think it's a great chance for ollie and all the best to him.

It's also a chance for Dynasty to prove what they can do without being overcast by Ollies aura. Obviously loosing Lang is gona hurt any team though, it'll be interesting to see how they react performance wise.

D-Y-N-A-S-T-PIE!

Works for me...

Anyhoo, surely Graham Easton is tha only man who can fill Ollie's spot? That's what Momma says...

Think Ollie will try and take any of his former team-mates over to Tha men? Could start a great new rivalry if he grabs a couple of tha non-LLC members...or a couple who are unhappy playing semi-pro...
