Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3178195, member: 1769"] So the CM is reporting that Dave Donaghy has a non compete clause in his Storm contract and can't negotiate with the club until January 31 next year. Matt Tripp has threatened the club with legal action if they breach this clause. here are Tripp's comments: [I]“This is not the way I run a business,” Tripp said. “We will be enforcing our contract with Dave and if the Broncos are up for a legal stoush, then tell them to get ready — I’m all for it. “I’m not going to sit back and allow the Broncos, who think they are the 500-pound gorilla in every room they walk into, to try and bully the Melbourne Storm by cherrypicking our chief executive. “Dave can’t speak to them (the Broncos) until January 31, that’s why contracts are there and we will protect our ‘IP’ (Intellectual Property) fiercely from the Broncos. “When you try and impersonate someone ... impersonators are generally frauds, they are impostors and they get found out. “Some of our shareholders are worked up over this.”[/I] “I will work with Dave and his family to overcome the desire to head back to Queensland too quickly,” he said. “He has done so much hard work at the Storm and he is about to go to the next level in terms of what we can with the revenue we have generated. “To my mind, Dave will take us through the next exciting phase of our football club. “That hasn’t changed off the back of the Broncos making a play for him. [B]“The Broncos board should be strung up for saying Melbourne are doing it right in these areas, let’s just go after their people.[/B] “They have such a big rugby league area to pick from ... to mess up the virtual monopoly they have (in Queensland) is embarrassing.” p.s. lol at the bolded ... that's exactly what a business should do ... identify people who have been successful and head hunt the best [/QUOTE]
