The Karl Oyston List of Shame on 15:40 - Nov 12 with 9535 views | Rusty2Stands | 14. I'm resigning as Chairman because I occupy the moral high ground and I can't deal with greedy Premier League agents and players. It's got nothing to do with the fact that I'm going bankrupt as I don't want to pay............... | | | |
The Karl Oyston List of Shame on 15:42 - Nov 12 with 9529 views | onlyonepool | Letting David Vaughan's contract run down when the player had wanted to sign a new deal 6 months earlier. Refusing to pay Leicester the 250k asking price for DJ saying we could get him for nothing later on. We ended up paying 1.2 million. Charlie Austin, wouldn't pay 500 quid a week extra when we were in the Prem and lost him to a championship club. His penny pinching ways lost us Angel Rangel and Scott Sinclair who both wanted 3 year deals, Albert Adomah, see DJ above. Ollie wanted security of a 3 year deal, he felt he had more than earned it after taking us to the prem. Matt Williams wanted us to match Shrewsbury's offer and make him CEO. Blunderbus let him go and thinking he could save money on a cheap option brings in Chris Hough who blunders away 30k on failing to register a player. Far too many things, Tommo, cheap option in building materials for the stands meaning escalating maintenance costs, just too many things to mention. No one but a son of the owner would still be in the job with his track record. [Post edited 12 Nov 2014 15:43]
