Dramas include:
• Three weeks ago, chairman Steve Sharp, former chief executive Scott Seward, board member Tom Issa and head of football operations Daniel Anderson meet at Eels HQ with Anderson raising the get-out clause in star recruit Kieran Foran’s contract where the five-eight would actually receive $1million in damages if he was to leave.
