nice to know he was THAT valuable to them then..... makes Pearson sound a little silly kicking up this almighty fuss about compensation when he wasn't even prepared to offer the kid more than he was already on.

Sounds like Australia after losing the World Cup Final.

Not only that, he "believes everyone else, or those with a brain, agrees. Believes of course, not knows.
Anyone else hope this arrogant wanker is left without a pot to piss in?

could not agree more he is a total tool.

Yeah he clearly has spat his dummy out but do you not think it's coincidental that the contract negotiations happened whilst Kath Hetherington was in charge of FC? Something's gone on but this is not the way to behave about it

[chesterhino]

even if she was, is she the only person that was involved in the negotiations?doubt it....

But whatever they did they ensured was within the rules therefore IF there was something dodgy ensuring no comeback.

It does show the problem with having families with such major ties to 2 clubs though, there is always going to be room for such things to look dodgy, hopefully that won't be allowed to happen again.

How would you stop it? To bar people with close relationships from doing any form of business together is unlawful.
Can you imagine any other business having a rule that iif the man is a hgh ranking figure, his wife can't be in the same line of work?

This!!

It's certainly interesting but we'll never know all of the facts anyway. Pearson's not going to make too many friends with outbursts like this in his first season unless he's onto something
