Happened to Watford a few years back. Tasted the premiership with Graham Taylor for a year and were immedietly relegated. Board wanted more of the same so got in Gianluca Vialli who treated it more as 'jobs for the boys' than a real football club. He brought in some slightly well known names and paid them exorbinant amounts (Defender Ramon Vega was on £38,000 a week when Beckham was at Man U for £27,000)

We're still paying for that mistake now :-/

we had Vega at Celtic for a while on loan from Spurs so we were probably paying half his wages at least - what a pile of ahem..."tobelerone" he was

Getting back to the original point,if it was in his contract of employment that he should be paid the money he says he is owed then they should pay it to him, cant really see why anyone would say otherwise.The number of 0,s on the end of the figure doesnt alter the principle involved at all.

I think the question the OP was asking, Albs, is whether he should chase them for the money, knowing this could send them under, or perhaps compromise.

If someone owed me a lot of money I would chase it.Its their fault they got themselves in a financial mess, so why let that influence your judgment ?

Yeah. But you're just like that, aren't yer?

[albitz]

Yep.

Yep.

Lends a tenner...mate.

[albitz]

The last time a mate asked me to do that I asked him why he needed it.He told me that his feet were wet and cold because the sole was hanging of his shoe and he couldnt afford a new pair.I reached into my pocket and pulled out a thick wad of tenners,pulled the rubber band off that was holding them together and said to him "here you go mate,put this rubber band round your shoe to hold them together until you can afford a new pair. See, Im all hart really.

What you should have said was "Sorry mate, my money's all tied up. In little elastic bands"

[albitz]

Nah, that would be just cruel.
I did notice btw that I missed an E out of heart.

Greedy 'journeyman' signed a five year deal on a promise for fornicating svens notts county and bailed out after one game when the golden goose got constipated.
A year ago he was running around Wembley with a Pompey cup winners medal kissing his shirt.
Pompey once a great club going down the tubes quick having failed in the High court to stop the taxmans winding up order.
Shameful behaviour from an overated fat has been who's got fat on the fans money.
