The only thing it's done is prove that there is something very wrong with tan.
He came to an agreement, payed around £16m, then stopped paying with less than £6m left to pay. Then he goes to court and will now end up paying around £8m including costs. All that just to confirm what everyone already new anyway. The man is an absolute farking weapon

Looks the opposite to me. Looks like he has proved that Hammam is a liar, and was only interested in looking after number one.

Don't beat yourself up Annis because in my opinion the only person who needs to take a long hard look at themselves is Sam Hammam. If today has shown us anything it's that this man is prepared to use and abuse personal friendships to his own ends.
This whole episode has cost our club a fortune and VT in particular but let's face the legal bill he is facing is nothing but pocket change to a billionaire, and VT probably thinks it's a price worth paying to out SM for exactly what he is.

Absolutely right mate and I've always believed managers, players and owners come and go but the lifeblood of football clubs is the fans - AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE.
As far as SH goes I hope he wakes up in the morning with a really bad dose of knob warts and has to spend every single penny of this Langston money searching for a medical breakthrough to cure him before his dick drops off.
