Blame Bosman not Joe

Sun Jul 11, 2010 5:23 pm

I've been thinking about the Ledley situation for a while and have had various thoughts from greedy little sod to greedy agent to go for it Joe. If it wasnt for that shit belgian footballer then we would be getting a transfer fee for Ledley.

So to sum up it is Bosmans fault not Ledleys. However if pr1ck ridsdale had given Joe a decent contract instead of signing Fowler et al on stupid contracts then we'd command a proper fee for a decent player.

Good luck Joe-thanks for some great memories-Sheff Utd (Black Friday), Barnsley FA Cup, Gypos away ( :ayatollah: ) and the play off final where you and chops were the business.

You mean the shit Belgian footballer who,despite not having a contract was being blocked from playing by his former club due to them dicking around with his registration?

The only person to blame is Ridsdale, for turning a ridiculous 6m down.

The Bosman ruling has totally screwed football. End of contract previously led to tribunal. Now it means the lesser clubs are fucked. Caused by Bosman the belgian donkey.

Right, so the guy should have been denied the opportunity to play football and thus earn a wage...

His new club would have had to go a tribunal to sign him.

Is it right that we have developed Ledley, paid thousands in wages etc and will get nothing because of the pathetic rule?

No, Bosman's new club wouldn't, at the time, have had to go to at tribunal.

That was the issue - he was out of contract, wasn't being offered a new one. Meaning his old team didn't want him, weren't paying him but refused to release his registration unless paid a massive wodge of wonga.

The point about Ledley is utter bollocks. We turned down a 6m bid... more than we would get in compensation.
