I think in this rather extreme case (and but for the sake of a quietly sensible "goodwill gesture" of a blank replacement shirt being offered), the precedent that has been set, is to not have names printed on backs of shirts..........=........much more lost revenue to the club than the price of the aforementioned gesture.Red I think the clubs got it right here TBF - it'd be a hell of a precedent to set otherwise.

Stuka Anyway regarding the Sig shirt. I think clubs have it in their terms and conditions that once a shirt has been purchased with a name on the back, the club can't be responsible if the player leaves. This idiot will presumably now have to stump up some legal fees for his pathetic small claims hearing.

bloody Volvo driver Just been reading an article in 4-4-2 about a fan (or customer in new football speak) who is taking RFC to the small claims court.
The issue revolves round a shirt he purchased for his son back in August, and after hearing that the Sig "I'd be a fool to go anywhere else" ardsson had signed an extension to his contract decided to buy his boy an away shirt with the Sig on the back. 2 weeks later, Sig Foxtrot Oscars to Germany and the guy requests reimbursement. Naturally the club refused and hence his decision to go to Small Claims in order to get back his £45.
Legally, the club is totally within its rights to refuse to pay back the money / give him a "clean" shirt, but morally after banking £6.5m, a few replacement shirts (that I suspect cost the club at purchase price around £10-20) is hardly going to dent the bottom line, especially after making such a hullabaloo about Sig extending his contract.
I cannot quite work out in my head whether I think the guy is foolhardy (I won't allow my little one to get a name printed on his shirt until the window has closed so the least we will get is 4 months worth of "value") or the club is being a too hard nosed on its fans / customers.

you agree, or do not agree with what you want "Red".Red Interesting use of frimmers style punctuation.
I don't agree I'm afraid - people will still want to get names put on the back of shirts - and most people accept that players move on.

I am still in the costly "son wanting to buy shirt with name on" stage of parenthood
