We only have to pay half what's remaining on his contract and Spam get stuck with him for the next three years? Even better.That's 48k a week. Paying him off is bollox. It would mean giving him the choice of joining West Ham on a free and picking up 70k a week ontop.
This is the crux of everything. If Levy gives in, it will signal the type of support for Poch that no manager has ever seen. DL does NOT like to lose these 'games' but if he accepts that this guy is not part of the plans and that he is not helping anyone, he will pay him off. That is, of course, what the guy wants.
but financially it actually makes sense.......isnt it better to pay him 2.5 mill and get rid now on a free rather than let him hang around for a year and pay 5 mill in wages and he will leave for free anyway
I'd like us to fudge him over as much as possible. Be stuck in the reserves for one season on 70K rather than get a payoff worth 50K a week and a chance to sign somewhere else for 80-100K. Also takes him one year closer to retirement.

Moral hazard. Makes it less likely they others will try it.but financially it actually makes sense.......isnt it better to pay him 2.5 mill and get rid now on a free rather than let him hang around for a year and pay 5 mill in wages and he will leave for free anyway
Blame Redknapp for buying Adebayor in the first place. Looking at his past records at previous clubs, it was always going to be a risky decision. Adebayor had always been a one-season wonder at all his clubs. Besides, he had Arsenal connections and former Arsenal players have never done well at Spurs. I still blame Adebayor for us failing to qualify for CL despite finishing 4th in 2012. We could have easily finished in 3rd if he had not wasted so many chances in front of goal that season.
Redknapp had him on loan, AVB was in charge when we signed him late in the 2012 summer window.
Levy bought him. End of story. As if Levy would let manager pay a player those wages.
I have to say this substitution surprised me a lot and I thought it showed a bit of desperation by Poch if I'm honest. I guess he was brought on as a target man (of sorts) but he added nothing meaningful and did nothing but contribute to our loss of shape.only a cameo today but had the touch of a rapist when he did get the ball
