Lescott: Where's my loyalty bonus?

[Nebbiolo]

Sorry, I'm being a bit alarmist with the title. But I was reading a report that wondered whether Lescott was in for a loyalty bonus, seeing as his transfer request was turned down, but he was sold anyway.

Whether Lescott is claiming a loyalty bonus on the basis that Everton turned down his transfer request is open to conjecture but while senior staff at Eastlands are ready to sign the deal off, so far there has been no resolution to the problem.

The cheeky cnut!

We didnt want to sell him in the first effing place! So he hands a transfer request and we sell him anyway..and now he wants a loyalty bonus?

Joleon mate....fcuk off!

IMO The transfer request still stands being the play has gone.

He must be kidding, surely? Just [Poor language removed] off Lescott, please!

It was never accepted, it was turned down. Technically, Everton sold the player under their own steam.

In reality, Everton sold the player because they were forced into the sale, which is why he won't receive a bonus.

I was just printing the story because the irony in it amused me. I don't for one minute think we'll have to pay a bean.

Strange that it's taking so long, though.

He's on 90oddk a week over at a MASSIVE club, why does he want his loyalty bonus?

Its not like he's a money grabbing cnut is it?

 

[BlueTak]

What a cnut just [Poor language removed] off!

Imagine that :huh:

And after spending £9M on Billyrussian! Kenwright would have to to sell his body parts and put Jenny on the street.

It would be in contractual format. Surely it won't be that hard to prove that loyalty was not shown in the essence of the word should this go to court.
