The Fish 10965 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If he was pushing a book or a media deal, I'd understand the timing, but it's like he's deliberately fucking Over a club that extended his playing career and seemed to treat him well.

khay 10 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Maybe needs to get a claim in before they go bust so that he has a chance of getting some of the money back? I'm not sure how that all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If he's owed money then he's every right to go after it. He's probably been trying to sort this out for months prior but as they edge closer to administration legal action is his best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably been trying to sort this out for months prior but as they edge closer to administration legal action is his best bet. He's already got enough money to last him several lifetimes. If he's hammering the final nail in Portsmouth's coffin then it's not right at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one to stick up for overpaid players but if he's contractually obliged to said payment he's every right to go after it regardless of his current wealth. Should Pompy go under it's fuck all to do with Campbell and his paltry £1.7 million and everything to do with the £60+ million debt that silly sods such Al-Fahim, Al-Faraj, Redknapp, Storrie, Gaydamak etc. have ran up rendering the club effectively insolvent.

ewerk 31203 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If we were that close to administration and Owen turned round and sued us for a couple of million he was owed then would you be saying the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be livid but I wouldn't be surprised. And I would blame the overspending of the Shepherd regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not but it wouldn't be his fault. Anyway, it works both ways. The majority of our fans had no problems with Keegan suing for stuff such as future loss of earnings this summer.

Barney 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 as an aside, Sol Campbell has never moved clubs for a fee. Some nice signing on bonus' there, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 They should have looked after the books instead of foolishly putting together a decent team that won the FA Cup and qualified for europe [taking the piss in case one or two obvious candidates think I'm being serious here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be blameless but he would have every right to expect to be paid what was owed to him and the blame lies solely with any football club that is writing cheques they can't afford.
