Port Adelaide fitness master Darren Burgess returns to EPL with Arsenal
PORT Adelaide fitness master Darren Burgess will leave the Power at the end of the month to return to the English Premier League.
Burgess will command London-based club Arsenal’s high-performance program for long-serving boss Arsene Wenger. He has previously worked at Liverpool for two years to prepare teams for manager Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers.
Burgess’ second program at Alberton — started at the end of 2012 with the arrival of new coach Ken Hinkley — will continue with the team he has assembled at Port Adelaide, in particular with Ian McKeown and Stuart Graham.

I find this really distasteful.

Pull out all stops to set him up outside of football and he pisses off halfway through a season.

* him.

Poor by the club if this is true.

Will be a laughing stock firstly for letting this get out, and not jumping on the front foot and either acknowledging it or denying the truth of it.

It's been an hour since being brought up on TV and crickets
 
If correct, he shouldn't be allowed to set foot in the Club again. Hand over keys etc.

Many a person (self included) when giving notice, are not allowed back on the premises.

They're probably in just as much shock as us...

When Darren replied to a fan on Twitter about the rumour he denied it via a private message.. probably didn't want the club to know.
 
Won't be any pay out. It would be like any other contract, Port would have to agree to ending the contract and it's not likely they won't after all who wants someone who would rather be somewhere else.
 
So he leaves us in the lurch for the 2nd time. First time was mid preseason and he had a decent reason, his mum died and he wanted to be closer to his dad based in Sydney.

Now we are mid season, pushing for finals and the flag and he leaves for money. * him, he could have waited to the end of the season. Soccer players don't need a preseason as they play for 9-10 months and if they are any good they play world cup qualifiers in June and July.
