Not saying we haven't , but sky reported we had agreed £2m compensation before big eck even took the job , this time they have it correct.
The Breaking news came out the same time as the club statement so I guess they just read it like me

The odds have dropped apparently from 20-1 to 6-1 on Scott Parker going back to Chelsea, which if you take into account the probably season ending injury to Essien does make some sense

Avb would have been coaching there when Parker was a player and it wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea moved in- I think he will go to Chelsea or spurs, doubt we will get him.

You'd think he'd have learnt his lesson from Chelsea the first time.

It's a good move in his situation, and a new boss...

I do agree, but in 12 months time he'll be wasted on the bench.

I'd love it if he joined us, it's just that it's so unlikely...
I really hope I'm wrong and now that the compensation thing is all sorted we're gonna see a flurry of activity and 3/4 fantastic bits of business for AVFC!
(fingers crossed, eyes shut tight, giant painful grimace!)

One thing comes to mind. Why go after a manager that you have to pay for if money is very tight?
They must have known it was likely that compensation would be due.

I'm therefore skeptical about rumours of extreme austerity.
