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

I was at Fulham and saw it...

Me too. Cracking evening

 

[kildaremackem]

Whee the Fook sanctioned this deal..

whoever it was was far more amateurish than the people we have now i reckon..

 

[ihateshearer]

That dosnt mean anything in our current position in the football world.

 

[Travis]

Was he the X box to box player we always needed?

Sunderland ordered to pay Argentine club Velez €362,500 for Ricky Alvarez after FIFA ruling

Velez Sarsfield have revealed on their official website that Sunderland have paid the Argentine club a sum of €362,500 for Ricky Alvarez due to a ruling made by FIFA after the club lost a court case this summer.

Just had to pay Velez some money for him.

What a mess that entire deal was.

Edit:

Saga* autocorrect doesn't like me.

Just thought I'd share here that sega is Italian for saw, but also a colloquial term for wank (something to do with a sawing action perhaps?). Anyway, seemed kind of appropriate in this context.

Congerton masterstroke

And this context

 

[Mboma]

I felt a bit sorry for the lad tbh, we never really gave him a chance and then the club went on to show just how amateurish it was being run at the time by trying to back out of the deal.

 

[West_Winger]

Congerton masterstroke

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

The problem wasn’t the deal but that the club tried to get out of its end of the bargain.

If I remember rightly all foreign loans come with an obligation to buy and we agreed to that. Instead of just paying the £9 million fee for him, we tried to say he was injured or some shit to get out of it. That’s where the problem is.

 

[Gentwo]

Been a bit of a Nomad since he left, Shame we couldn't Out Run this payment.

 

[is BobBob lost]

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

We signed some absolutely garbagè (total dross) players during Short's ownership. But his appointments of De Fanti, Congerton, Byrne and Bain are the real acts of incompetence.

 

[Steeeeed]

Am I being a bit thick here? Why did we have to make the payment to Velez, rather than Inter paying them?

I think this issue was that he had an injury and Inter wouldn’t sanction (or pay for?) an operation. We said that that broke the contract. As always it’s easy to be wise after the event

Seems a bit off that having paid Inter a fee we then have to pay the sell-on clause which was an agreement between Inter and Velez
