Andy Irving
Signs for West Ham United.
Another youngster that we let slip through our fingers. Levein and Neilson ruined that boy.

He'll have every single bit the career Joe Hamill did

Anyway, turns out it's just a fudge to beat the financial fair play rules. He'll never play a minute for West Ham. Modern football baby!

How so? I genuinely don't know how it works? I'm not sure anything in top-level football is financial fair play nowadays, but how does signing another player help that?

Re: Andy Irving
Basically as I understand it West Ham want Klagenfurt as a feeder team, but rules state a club can't just blast cash at another (otherwise our pals in Saudi Arabia would be bouncing about like giddy dugs). So Irving "signs" for West Ham for a million blabs, then spends the rest of the contract on loan in Austria. Problem solved!
