That's strange, so even though the Pozzos sold the club they own some of the players? Either way Adams seems likely to sign Kieran Richardson and Reo-Coker so you know they're screwed anyway.
Gutted by the referee giving City a dodgy penalty against us today. I liked Sané before today as well. :( At least now I have no hope remaining for us staying up.
Yeah, this was an eye-opening paragraph for me:
Sid Lowe said:Granada's squad contains players of 17 nationalities, 13 of them on loan. They have only four Spaniards. Adams found that the economic rights of a significant number of players belong to Pozzo, not the club. Negotiations have begun over the contracts of some of them; there will be legal challenges over others. Only eight first-team players are contracted to Granada and the problem runs right through the structure. Of 106 players in the first team, second team and juvenil (under-19s), only 44 belong to Granada.
It seemed like the Pozzo project was going well, I didn't realise they'd been taken over until I saw how far down the table they were in winter - turned out some Chinese people had come in. Suddenly that really effective scouting network isn't so good when it means you don't own all your players. Source
I would like to offer my sincere commiserations to you about that game - Boro have been even more boring this season than our derby on Thursday so nobody will miss you, ironic that you finally figure out how to score on the day that pretty much confirms relegation.
