As you said that is just one side of the story! We don't know the facts of the case so its hard to say but very few of these go to full trial.

I think where things could get really messy is around the time of the Ryder Cup because if both GMAC and Rory are in the team, they have to be pulling for each other, but on the other hand with GMAC owning 25%(???) of Horizon then it will be quite awkward for McGinley on how to manage the situation!

Who knows what went on but I guess the point of the management company is to manage your affairs so perhaps he didn't see the need to get someone to "Manage his management team", either way it seems this will all boil down to an out of court settlement!

Yes - but.

I'm not great with money - but even I would talk with lads in work who are great about even car insurance. I guess that makes me ok with money.

Rory is a phone call away from the best minds in the country - very strange.

Anyway - all will come out.

Taking a guess - a % of a small amount is small - a % of a large amount is large.

You hear cases like this with Boxers and Rock stars over many years . Getting done over (as claimed)
But it is a very short time to claim costs were excessive.
He only signed with them. Youd imagine he had somebody go over contracts.
Unusual this one.

Again . said it a while back. He just doesn't play enough golf for me. Way too young to be hanging around with Bono and Bill. Win everything for ten years then wind it back.
Ok he has stuff going on . Some out of his control. His life has turned upside down in 2 years. Not easy.
But thd difference with most lads his age in sport. (Top guys).
They are totally involved and in sport. Maybe Rory is a new refreshing type who like balance. That is interesting. But at what stage is the ballance wrong. When your in Dublin for Arthurs day arguing over a contract you signed and in the papers more in living than sport.

Nice lad but.

statement from Horizon, sounds like this could drag on for a while

"Horizon Sports Management (“Horizon”) notes with disappointment Rory McIlroy’s decision to initiate legal action seeking to terminate his representation contract," the statement read.

"Since October 2011, under Horizon’s management, Rory McIlroy has signed some of the most lucrative endorsement contracts in sports history, in addition to achieving significant success on the golf course. Today, he is one of the world’s most highly remunerated sports people.

"In March 2013, he signed an extension to his representation contract up to 2017. Rory McIlroy has now announced that his business interests will be managed by Rory McIlroy Incorporated. As a consequence, he is in breach of the representation contract, into which he willingly entered.

"This legal action seeks to void his representation contract from its original date, recover fees already paid and avoid paying any further fees as stipulated by the agreement.

"Regrettably, this legal action has been taken despite Horizon’s efforts to reach an orderly and fair resolution.

"The claim will be defended vigorously and comprehensively in legal process.

"Horizon has confidence in its position. This confidence is underpinned by a legally binding contract and the clear evidence of the exceptional job done for Rory McIlroy by Horizon.

"We will always be proud of what Rory McIlroy and Horizon achieved together and we wish him well in his future golf career."

Yeah i knew he was playing the exhibition and some events but presumed he would fly back to Europe/US in between. 2 months seems excessive.

It is believed the golfer views the fees charged by Horizon - said to be 7.5m euros (£6.4m) over an 18 month period - as excessive.

Surely he didn't sign up to Horizon NOT knowing what fees had to be paid !!
Alot more to this story which we don't know me thinks !

Keeping a relationship going is probably tough as a professional sports star as you're away for work 80/90% of your time. Now make it two professional sports stars and it'll be almost impossible.

Hopefully he can get his head straight next year and win another major. I actually quite like him and there's also the fact that he's a wonderful golfer to watch when he's flying.

Spilt #2 looks a done deal.

Clean start for Rory now and back to winning ways next year.

Such a shame to see him last at 13 over at the BMW right now. He won this this time last year and was at the top of his game.

I heard them rumours too, really really shocked, " Rory Mcilroy is getting lessons off Padraig Harrington

He can indeed not pick him. And shouldnt unless he improves dramatically. If it were on this year he would have been mad to pick him. But he would still make it on world ranking at the moment. That will disappear if the current form continues next year.

PRAF

While I don't think it is the biggest problem for Rory, I do think that changing all of his equipment at the same time was a mistake. Changing either your irons, woods, wedges, or ball shouldn't be a problem. Changing them all at the same time????

He doesn't now but he did intially, he had all sorts of problems trying to get the driver right and the putter.

Heard rumours about off course stuff that sounds like an awful position for him to be in if it they're true. If they are, I'd say they're a large factor. So let's go with off-course events.[/QUOTE]

I've heard about those rumours as well and if true I think it must be the reason his form is so poor...

I'm going off Rory - I like to see him do well, but his attitude is definitely a little off, and the olympics saga is just annoying at this stage.

For me, one of the main problems with Rory seems to be his inability to minimise the damage when he's having an off day, and his disinterest when he's not in contention.

The wozilroy situation doesn't seem to be helping either, for either of them. Wasn't she world number 1 when they started going out? For me, it just seems like neither of them are that pushed about getting knocked out of tournaments earlier, because it just frees them up to jump on a flight and join the other one. I'm obviously basing that on very little, but it's what I think!
