The People's Hero Posted 15 September 2005 Share Posted 15 September 2005 A fitting post here would be the pics of Shum and I with sir Les. In fact, I believe that encounter might have been his reason for leaving the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 15 September 2005 Share Posted 15 September 2005 signed on non-contract terms? How can you sign a contract on non-contract terms? It means that there is no officiacal contract and therefore it would be something like a pay as you play terms. They might give him money for playing type of thing. But he has been training there since before the season so i guess its just a verbal agreement. He is just registered for the club with the FA basically and you dont have to have a contract to register! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or perhaps just travel costs from Watford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 15 September 2005 Share Posted 15 September 2005 Hmm perhaps we could have had him for 10 pounds a week then? (or perhaps just travel costs from Watford) I wouldnt even pay him that much! I think his last decent season was the season when he played for us. He hasnt really performed that well since, althought he did score a few at Bolton. But hope it goes well for him just as long as he doesnt score against us!
