2024, the year of the Shrimpers ⭐🦐
My point was about forcing an agenda…Elvis refusing to play and Kasper terminating his contract. Both smack of an arrogance, immaturity and poor advice.
Thinking Jack Payne, Kane Ferdinand, Dru Yearwood…all left too soon under **** agent advice!
Much prefer Bentley or Leonard’s approach!
Elvis never once refused to play.
Elvis turned down a new deal with us. The new deal he was offered was £1 more than his existing deal, he ensure we were eligible for compensation if he was to leave for another Club in the UK. We were prepared to negotiate, but Elvis point blank refused, and thought his agent had lined up a better move, which was going to be Leyton Orient.
However, they couldn’t agree compensation with us, as would have gone to a tribunal if we weren’t able to agree. Orient decided to sign another right back, and Elvis was left in limbo as no other Club was prepared to pay a fee for his services.
Once again, people who are comparing the Lopata situation to that of Elvis are incredibly mistaken. Elvis’s contract wasn’t breached in the same way as Lopata’s, albeit he was paid late on occasions. He never went down the same route that Lopata did.
Elvis saw out his contract, whereas Lopata got his ripped up.
