The shadow of Carlos Tevez still hangs heavily over our club.
The admittance, in the tabloid press this morning, that the club still owes £10 million of the compensation package hasn`t helped Sam Allardyce when it comes to strengthening his squad, even more so when David Sullivan confirms that the outstanding balance has to be settled at the end of this season with David Sullivan commenting to the media,
"We`ve done some good business and brought in some real quality despite our still limited resources."
"We have an eight figure sum still outstanding over the Tevez affair even though we have been paying it down over the last two years."
"That amount has paid off over the next 12 months, which does take its toll on our transfer activity."
What a sorry mess our club got itself into before the current owners took over.
