So why did we pay compensation?

The compensation issue wasn't Sam's problem. That's for the clubs to sort out. No idea what was in his contract, but again, if it had holes in it or we couldn't afford decent lawyers to deal with Bolton or the FL then that's on us, not him. Having looked at the timeline and headlines at the time, Pavis would have known it was coming and either didn't offer him an improved contract or made him a lousy one. With Storrie and Scardino "running" the club within a year and Bolton going on to play in Europe, he was fully vindicated. Us standing in his way wouldn't have led to things turning out any better.
