Consultant of what exactly?

What a fucking joke.

[joteddyred]

Laughable.  What on earth was he in a position to advise us on?

Consultant of what exactly?

Of how to run slowly and be a generally shit centre back?


I suspect this is the most telling bit:

However, Comazzi was not paid any of the monthly amounts after he was named in May 2012 as one of 61 individuals under investigation for match-fixing in his native Italy.

I'd imagine the club dispute the compromise agreement is valid from this point on.

[fittons_coaching_badge]

Is Comazzi still under investigation or was he cleared?

Wait, let me read the article for you...

The centre-back was later found guilty of the offence and given a four-year competitive ban

Is Comazzi still under investigation or was he cleared?

Serving a 4 year ban AFAIK.

Yup, banned for 4 years from June 2012. Appeal dismissed

The result of a few Italian games.

The move is believed to have had tax incentives for both the player and the club and meant Town were scheduled to make several payments to Comazzi in a compromise agreement reached between the two parties following the termination of the defender’s contract.

So it was setup as a bit of a tax dodge for club and player.

Champion.

I suspect our Board might know a bit a consultancy fees.
