We'll probably lose that court case and end up having to pay his legal costs too. It's the only right way for this to end.
Seen a fair few on twitter and in other places slating Alvarez as he was a sick note! If I have a contract I’m due to and you don’t pay me fir it, whatever the circumstances, I’m going to fight it!!!

The due diligence was by all accounts a ****show. That's why Donald went back cap in hand back in Sep. 2019 asking for a bit more money off his share purchase.

If Short wasn't still owed his money for the shares, he could have just told Donald to **** off, but because there was still a financial interest, he probably didn't fancy any kind of legal/financial arseholery from Donald and decided to knock £2.4m off which was probably in the spirit of things. Almost certainly on the proviso that he couldn't come back for further issues, though, so with the Alvarez case taking a new turn, Donald now decides to hound the doctor.

The whole thing is an embarrassment to us, from start to finish. Suing the doctor for money that he almost certainly doesn't have, trying to bankrupt someone who acted in good faith on behalf of the club, is the final dollop of ****e on top.

The doctor was also involved in the PVA heart scan scare.
 
I took loads of stick over him.

It was always my belief that he should be a wing back rather than a full back.

He was excellent when he had a quick player, who'd track back and cover him, when he went awol.

M’Vila was the perfect foil for him. He played centre/left of midfield and would cover for him whenever PVA got caught out positionally.

M’Vila was a great reader of the game as well so he always seemed to make it look so simple.
 
PVA was 0ne of the most one footed players we ever had. I remember once in the Moyes season, he cut across the entire width of the field with the ball, had about three opportunities to play people in but because he couldn't use his right foot, he ended up pretty much wandering to the corner flag and then throwing his hands up like a plonker.

Genuinely thought we'd done good business until it became clear Short was bailing and probably keeping that cash.

I raise you Paul Atkinson for the most one footed player!

M’Vila is one of the finest midfield players I have ever seen in a Red and White shirt. He was like having a finely tuned Rolls Royce driving our midfield. I’m still speechless that Moyes decided to not sign him and proceeded to spend more money on N’Dong the ****house. M’Vila had already proven himself to be a highly competent premiership midfielder. As for N’Dong... I have no words. The vast majority of footballing decisions that SAFC have made in the last decade are truly woeful. It doesn’t seem like this will improve in the near future.
 
Some hype that. How many goals and assists did he have in his career with us?
I think the utter garbage who replaced him in Didier N'Dung has blurred the memory of Billy Whitehurts and M'Vila seems much better than he was in his mind's eye. N'Dung would probably make me look good (I am 55 and haven't kicked a football in almost 40 years). M'Vila. was competent but not a world beater.
