Then can you have a competent person negotiating deals ? It was the impact's job to make it as easy as they could for the agent and Briand to understand the loopholes and the details of an MLS contract. This screams at me as a case of De Santis promising anything Briand wants with either no knowledge that it would impact his status, or with the intention to circumvent legally by using a loophole or just going all out mafiosi style.
the ''welcome to the family let's figure out the details later'' approach did not work this time, and if I'm honest I personally think Briand (or his agent!) would have been made aware of a case like Ciman where promises weren't kept... and that could totally be a question I would ask Briand (or his agent), if that's why he wanted everything in writing.
either way, the IMFC is the only one at fault here, not securing the contract before paying the fee ... I mean, how incompetent can they get ? there isn't an armchair GM here that makes that mistake. And there isn't a club in the world other than IMFC where no one will lose his job over this. nah, its the player's fault we didn't do our homeworks.
