I don't understand this.
Carlo told Everton he wanted to leave and Everton agreed a compensation package with Real Madrid.
Surely, wouldn't you think, by allowing him to leave mid-contract the club would have had him sign something to forfeit any bonuses he would otherwise have been due had he stayed? So now we've let him leave us in the lurch and actually allowed him to take us to the cleaners too despite him being the one walking out on us?
He would have forfeited bonuses to get the Madrid job. And if we refused a mutual severance, which it was as we agreed a deal with Madrid, and he was that desperate to join them, then he'd have resigned which in itself would have been enough to forfeit any further future monetary bonuses from the club.
I don't blame him like, if the club didn't have him sign anything he's fully entitled to go after it, but what an utter bunch of clowns not even ensuring we severed all ties with him once he left.
