Tyrone starlet signs Swans deal / Coney staying in Ireland

[connolly]

Impressed as I am that our legal squadron is still plotting to hang, draw and quarter Kyle Coney, I don't see there's been any breach of contract.

There's clearly a get-out clause in the contract for both parties, equivalent to the three-month probation that normal punters (and possibly even lawyers) get. It makes sense; it would be difficult to persuade Irish parents to send their teenager across the world without some kind of fallback, ie, six-week trial. The kid exercised it.

That would also explain why in all the stories on Coney, not a single one has even mentioned contractual issues.

Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen. Continue with your learned arguments.

With the current useless mob in charge its possible that they offered a contract with a hole in it big enough to allow an eighteen yeard old kid to jig through with the entire Riverdance troupe. In these bracing times of belt tightening it was probably drafted by Cyggie or a Dorothy McEwan
