Ricky Alvarez Saga Continues

[Mickdundee]

I can remember the Mega Drive behind trying to sign him.

That was the Genesis of our downfall.

He should have been a key player in Poyet’s Master System had he stayed fit.

 

[Mary Hinge]

Whee the Fook sanctioned this deal..

 

[Scotty 1978]

There’s the left back money gone

 

[Botchie]

you dont unerstand man the scouts we have NOW are shit..

when alvarez was signed we had a dircetor of football operatons...who negitiated this deal...current eemloyees can in he first instance be measured against that..

But the manager has the final say.....

 

[RossTheNinja]

Did we ever have a shirt with his name on? There must be some money in selling his game gear

Aye my fault, didn’t see the other thread. If I could edit the title I’d make it about our worst signings over the years.

It's up there with them

Canny goal at Fulham

One of those "remember where you were... when"

I was at Fulham and saw it...

 

[Patch]

He's probably due a testimonial.

 

[shepherd88]

IS Byrne still agent to any of our players after Honeyman and Cattermole has gone? I would remind her of this any time she entered the SOL/AOL

Congerton masterstroke

We could have just bought the lad and sold him on rather than all of this. Embarrassing

 

[tooliohelmet]

Didnt he spend most of the time saturn his arse?

fuck director of football that is only for shit clubs tbh.

 

[Themig]

He needed the sonic speed for the premier league. He just needs to knuckles down and get his tails up

 

[Lord Alfred]

What an utter incompetent that Congerton was man. The tit.

It wasn't so much the decision to sign him that caused the problem as when fit again he would have had some residual value. The catastrophic mistake was trying to be clever and avoid having to sign him. Was that not Byrne's fault?

 

[Old Timer]

With hindsight we should have stuck to the deal. We could have sold him to recoup some of the transfer fee and he n the end we would be better off than we are now.

The real culprit is not the one who did the original deal, as it was standard to have a buy clause in overseas loans. It is the idiot who though we could get out of the contract. They might well be the same people, but it was our failure to comply with the contract we signed which created this mess. Just. A shame we didn't have a CEO with a law degree at the time, as a simply reading of contract law Was all that was needed.

 

[b1gals]

That's £720k now then

Euros

Poor lad had his dream cast aside

 

[Bilbo]

Surely its Inter Milan who should pay Sarsfield, we had bot all to do with the argies

congerton should be the negotiator not the ceo-but who knows what actual arrangement they had..

 

[TopCat]

Signing him seems like a Dream.Cast your minds back to a time where we paid £10m for players......
