"I for one are fully supportive of the club in trying to get out of this - pure financial insanity by the previous owners."
When you wrote that you were supportive of the club trying to get out of paying the player his wages by not honouring his contract, funny enough I believed you meant that you for one are fully supportive of the club in trying to get out of this, in future it may help if the reader knows that what you actually mean is in fact the opposite of what have written.
Are you being deliberately obtuse, or just letting your ire get in the way of reading what I said?
Did I say I supported their trying to get out of the contract by way of nefarious means? Did I say I was supportive of the club trying to get out of paying the player his wages by not honouring his contract?
If the contract is watertight (as you obvious believe it is, and unlike yourself I haven’t seen it and thus I cannot comment on that) then they (the club) will be forced to honour it and if that’s the case so be it, if it is not then I suspect they will seek to renegotiate, however as a supporter of a club that is trying to save money I do support them seeking to investigate whether they have means to renegotiate terms or set the contract aside, by legal means.
The club obviously feel they potentially have a case, but hey ho, it’s another part of the chaos they appear to have inherited.
