As Kamy said maybe we can sack him off for free as a result 

[Lancaster Rover]

Not necessarily, it depends what we knew of the case prior to offering him a contract.

Jailhouse (C)ock

Someones played a blinder getting this guy out of Celtic ready for a freebie to Hibs......

[Lancaster Rover]

I think his agent is Gerry Carlile, long time supporter of Glasgow Green Brigade. Pretty sure he owns a pub in Belfast with Paddy McCourt that does a lot of celtic foundation fundraising.

[Hanks]

Its being reported that Stokes has offered his victim 30,000 euros

 

[Dr Awesome]

He's a monumental tool. Always has been, from his original spell at Hibs.

[Lancaster Rover]

Looking at some of the company Stokes keeps I think the complainant would be best advised to take the money.

He has been given a two year suspended sentence apparently 

[G Somerset Rover]

Surely that's enough to get him off our books?

it might be exactly what we pay to cancel his contract by mutual appointment!  

so we pay him a wage while he's pending conviction, for which he barely kicks a ball, then he gets paid off to join the club he wanted to go to all along.......

or have I a Suspicious Mind........

[funny-old-game]

striker Anthony Stokes ordered by Irish court to pay an Elvis impersonator €230,000 for headbutting him in a nightclub

[J*B]

The big scandal here is someone as utterly shite as Anthony Stokes is in a position to pay someone over 200 grand.

Daily star so might be wrong but says Former Blackburn player??

Did he get his contract terminated? Who has the authority to terminate it? Big bad Venkeys probably ashamed he didn't use a metal bar.

[Tom]

I'd take a headbutt for £200,000 a ludicrous amount of money 

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

He should have used Gerrard's lawyer

[NinjaTattoo]

Nearly 1/4 Million Euro for a head butt ?  Jesus Christ   8)

[tomphil]

The hidden wankers probably got him here on a nice contract and signing on fee anticipating this fine, Rovers will be paying it one way or another. I posted somewhere on here not long after he signed that they'd end up paying this half wit off by summer. Goodwille written all over it, Stokes never came here for football reasons for one minute.

Just like they paid Samba's debt off then tied him to the club till he paid it back.

Never heard that one before ?

No use doing that with Stokes because he never plays so it's dead money either way.

True.

Back to Stokes. Not much originality can be added. Reading the reports he feels no sorrow or remorse and I think he'll be relived to have avoided the jail house.

I doubt it made much of a dint financially.

Stokes riches far outweigh his footballing talents.

really ?  When we signed him from Hertha 'rumour' was he was massive in debt personally ( gambling) and only his model wife/girlfriend kept him afloat. Rovers paid his debt and he had to pay it back via his wages etc which adds to the claim he wanted a transfer so many times yet the club wouldnt sell him.

Disclaimer - thats the story i was told.
