Argyle Statement about McHugh
PLYMOUTH Argyle today issued the following statement:
“We understand that Motherwell Football Club will today announce that they have signed Carl McHugh despite the fact that contract terms for him to extend his contract with Plymouth Argyle were agreed in writing between Argyle’s CEO Martyn Starnes, Carl, and Carl's agent Sky Andrew last Friday.
"Carl subsequently confirmed in a telephone call with manager Derek Adams that he was planning to travel back to Home Park on Monday for pre-season training.
"However, on Monday morning, we were advised by Carl’s agent that he had been contacted by another club over the weekend and that Carl had expressed a wish to speak with them.
"We have now been informed that Carl has decided to join the Scottish Premiership team.
"We are extremely disappointed that Carl has changed his mind and chosen to join Motherwell after he had previously given his agent the authority to extend his contract with Argyle."

If as I believe there is something in writing Argyle need to involve solicitors if only to stop this sort of thing happening again. :furious:

I tend to agree, but I think most footballers would have done it :sad:
Argyle really shouldn't have announced it while he was still a free agent and nothing was signed.
Under 24.... offered much better terms than previously on.
Compensation due? Albeit nowhere near as much the case as with Nelson, though.

Making a statement before he had actually signed was always likely to attract attention from other clubs......and so it has proven.
Thought we'd handled other signings exceptionally well until this and has unfortunately come back to bite us........very dissapointing from everyone involved!
Only ourselves to blame IMHO.
So I guess he got to the end of June with no better offer than Argyle's on the table and decided he might as well return here. Motherwell subsequently contacted him and he was off like a shot. This suggests that he was not that keen on a return here all along... I wonder whether the contact from Motherwell over the weekend was triggered by Argyle's announcement on Friday - it might have pushed them into rapid action. McHugh doesn't come out of this well at all in my opinion.
