Local outfit Central FC and former San Juan Jabloteh midfielder Marvin Oliver have been going at it over the past week about contractual agreements. The evergreen midfielder accused Central FC management of illegally terminating his contract and vow to take his former employers to court for breach of contract.
“I had been aware of the developing issue between Central FC and Marvin Oliver since Tuesday when he was presented with a letter from Central FC head coach Dale Saunders.”
“The letter is on Central FC's letterhead and it was minacious and definite in its intention, regardless of the attempts by the club to readdress.”
“From the outset, my belief was that the letter presented to Marvin by Mr. Saunders made this issue a legal one. To his full credit, Marvin had already sensibly contacted legal counsel, hence his silence on the matter.”
“Over the last couple of days I have spoken to Marvin and his counsel both individually and in conference on several occasions, and I am confident of his representation.”
“There were a number of elements to Central FC’s release that I found disconcerting, which has prompted me. Firstly, the release was little more than a personal attack on a player who has represented them to the best of his ability since the first minute of Central FC’s first game in existence.”
“Added to that, those personal attacks were unwarranted, unfair, desperately untrue, totally irrelevant and serve only as a distraction to the facts of the case. My continued advice to Marvin would be to maintain his silence, refraining from further comment, and await instruction from his legal counsel, ended Shaka.”
