which law school did you go to? the legal term foer what we are trying is "joint and severally liable"..the key is any club that signs him would have to fork out...so either no club signs him or they pay..along as we can prove the player deliberately in a way that destroyed his value...I think the instagram post of his gholiday is evidence though not conclusive of that..if, as in the case of papty he failed the fitness test yesterday then thats good evidence..so the legalese exists...we arent looking for a precedent..just a matter of if we have the evidence to win the case using existing precedents..He took his case to the European Court of Human Rights, can you see us going there to try and extract costs?
They'd probably rule in the players' favour!
Nothing will happen here, we might get some token payment from their new clubs in lieu of a signing on fee but all this hope of new precedents being set won't be happening (IMO).
