Ortiz - Bad News?


Recommended Posts

Firstly,

Why does everyone keep saying that his old club were going to wipe the £500k we owe them if they could keep him?

We dont owe them anything, they will get 1p in the pound if they are lucky from the CVL of the OldCo.

Secondly, should we not be worried about his intentions when he says he will stay? What is he on a week?

If we are paying the guy say £12k a week, then we have to honour this contract. Thats what TUPE does.

Who is to say we will be able to find someone who will be able to match his wage and also be willing to pay a price for him?

Fair play if im wrong, but I cant see why the guy would be showing us loyalty, he has only been with us for a few months. Would make more sense if the guy is doing this for his own sake due to realising this contract is as good as he will get!

I hope im wrong and that the guy will bring in some cash for us.

Hutton on the other hand I am delighted to see staying. He must be on low wages and is a guy who will come on greatly from getting first team football, even if it is in the lower leagues.

Eh, I thought that it's just been announced ortiz is leaving along with fleck which is why there is a thread on it???

Argh!

Might have messed up here! Last I heard he said he was going to transfer over then leave, getting us a fee.

Just didnt make sense why the guy would be so loyal!

I might have been given bad advice on this one though!

Can anyone clear up?

Hmmm, could he turn out to be a bobo balde. Who knows, he played well while he was back in Spain. Maybe if we try him in his favoured position!

About the Almeria thing. What led me to think along those lines was the offer was made before the result of the CVA. There's been noises since about us still being liable for footballing debts potentially through UEFA appeals. If we were to let them have him, we'd not be liable to them for anything.

I think you may be right in your belief that he was possibly only coming back for the money when he announced last week (I think) he was reporting for training, however his agent has obviously been working overtime finding him a new club and it would appear that he has now backtracked and stated his intentions to leave.

The news I heard was that it was announced on Sky news today that he was transferring over, but with the intention to leave.

Could be that his legal advice is stating that Green is correct and he has left it too late. Might not want a bill landing on him a few months down the line.

Stv have reported he is leaving, but who knows, my heads buzzing with everything that is going on these last few days.

He said both (mibees).

At the weekend he said he would be at training on Thursday, however the current rumour is he's refusing to toupe over.

So he's going.

Or staying
