I'd love to get sacked or mutually agree a termination at my job only to still get paid by the employer.
Football, eh!?

I stand corrected. Well when I say 'stand', I am in reality sprawled on the floor reeling in shock. Levy has truly been Adebayored.
No sane person would let their employer breach their contract without being paid the full amount owing.
Just shows how much he was disrupting the squad: better to pay him £100k to stay away than have him in the facility.
I find it incredible that Palace would fork out £75,000 a week on him!
I am interested to see how he performs. Can't believe he's only 31 as well!
As I think SoS said, he'll probably set the league on fire until the end of the season. Wangle a new contract out of Palace, and then do **** all for the rest of his time there.
Why would Palace pay £75k. They could pay £5k a week and he'd still get the same salary? Palace wouldn't be so dumb as to pay him more than they had to?
As I suggested in one of my many arguments with Piskie, they're probably required to.
I think that the agreement to terminate his contract included this as a clause.
Newcastle's official Twitter is retweeting stuff about Townsend passing his medical and signing for them.
Still nothing actually announced, but it looks done and dusted.
Good luck to him and I hope he's given a warm welcome when he returns to the Lane.
Now to bring in some players...

There were reports that Newcastle were tripling his wages. That would have him on about £15k for us. That's piss poor (wtf am I saying!!) for an England International.
I'll stop you there. We're talking about a guy who flew home to a witch doctor in Togo to break the 'Juju curse' that his mother placed upon him...
Yeah, everyone knows that Togolese witch doctors aren't a patch on the Congolese. What an idiot!
Palace say that Adebayor passed a character check before he signed.
Pretty sure he passed a character check before signing for every other club on his CV - it's what happens a year later that's the problem.

The Geordies have now confirmed Townsend's transfer.
He'll wear the number 25, which represents the amount that his wages have increased in thousands. Possibly.
That just looks wrong. I hope he doesn't go all Obertan now.

They only signed him until the end of the season so probably saw sense!
Not sure how I feel about this transfer but what disturbs me more is how Ashley Inc is happy to associate itself with a bunch of c**t bankers charging north of 1500% APR for a few quid in the bank. Anyhow rants aside... can we sign a striker now please Mr. Levy... pretty please?
Front page update...used the reported £12m figure.
If anyone notices a mistake on my updates please let me know...cheers

Not met a Witch Doctor in the Congo although I work in the East, might find some around the North West, Witch Doctors are more West Africa. Run into them in Liberia and Sierra Leone though. There's method in their madness.
Take a highly venomous snake. It bites you, you die. No, not always if you give the Witch Doctor money. Amazed? Not really. Snakes, in particular highly venomous ones don't always inject their venom. Sometimes they just bite you. Why? If they are hungry they want their venom to kill their pray so the buggers just nip you. Now, if a dude make it as far as the Witch Doctor after being bitten there's a fair chance no venom has been injected. The dude then pays up, the Witch doctor 'cures' the person and off he/she trots happy as a sand boy. In the event that the snake injects venom, you're gonna be dead in about 2 minutes so you don't get as far as the Witch Doctor, and even if you do, the Witch Doctor will spin out the proceedings long enough to make sure that you're going to survive before taking your money. Hence, the locals believe in their 'magic powers'.
I'm surprised Spurs didn't get his local Witch Doctor over here and pay for Ade to become the greatest striker ever, sports psychology and all that bullshit, it might have worked if Ade believes. The Christian religion has the same bullshit, known as blind faith. If you understand blind faith you know why the early Christians sung as the lions were eating them, they wouldn't have felt any pain because 'their god was protecting them', in reality their state of mind protected them. It's a funny old world.
