No fucker will want to work for the club at this rate. The club need to be 100% sure about what they're doing before going down this route. Time to rely on the peerless judgement of Stewart Donald and Charlie Methven then. Cross whatever you've got, people.

 

[Macho]

Guess Donald has accepted he won't make millions from selling the club now so is going down other avenues to line his pockets.

 

[Bamber]

The lad will be dead by the time we pay for him.

Think the complaint/ legal proceedings pre date Donald and co.

Thought they started it? Certainly came to light in the Donald era.

Not this shit again

Needs doing
Remember tim Vickers saying he couldnt believe we were paying money for him

From reading the article why did we even try and not pay Inter Milan?. It was so obvious we would have to pay and we could have saved money on interest and fees.

And had the player!

Suing the doctor for £13m. I’m sure he’s good for it

We must be the only club on the planet stupid enough to agree to a clause that we had to buy a player if we avoided relegation regardless of how shit he might turn out to be.

The clowns running the club now are an utter joke but Short and his mob weren't much better.

 

[The Beautiful Game]

Embarrassing really. Regardless of whether or not we knew about the injury we didn’t put any clauses in the contract to pull out so should have honoured it

 

[The Pro From Dover]

Still dealing with Alvarez. This issue is literally is the turd that just won’t flush and not only clogs the toilet but causes it to overflow.

 

[SAFC11]

Hadnt realised we were suing other staff as well, and that Alvarez was still suing us as well. Utterly pointless court case and a dangerous president to set

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

Tbf this came around the time FPP were interested and people were saying maybe their top Lawers had looked into it during DD and thought there was a case they could win.
It maybe just timing its come round now but maybe its something to coincide with the american/s linked again, where Donald didn't fancy the court case but they did. Clutching at straws mind but it's a thought

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Still can't believe we ended up paying money to Milan when they no longer owned the player.

There are plenty of loan contracts that have obligations to but to be fair. The stupidity was not honouring it and thinking there would be no repercussions

Think most of the deals with obligations at least kick in after a certain number of appearances. Remember quite a few journalists at the time saying that the obligation we had in place was very unusual, certainly for English clubs anyway.

It doesn't matter what the rights and wrings are. We will lose as always.
