Elvis Bwomono

[Ayrshire Blue]

I hope he's got a new agent

 

[HUMBLEPIE]

I hope he gets his career back on track be interesting to see how he fares in the future.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Are iBV in the same league as FC Leiftur?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I hope he's got a new agent

Yeah, his agent screwed him over advising him to sign that deal with us at 18. Phil Brown as his manager; Ron Martin as his employer; fans telling him to **** off. He’s best off out of it.

He’ll still be back in the EFL before us

Shame for him, but so overrated

 

[Shrimpet steve]

What an absolute idiot! Didnt sign for us! Couldn't get an english club, and now going to play in iceland!

 

[Shrimpet steve]

Needs to get back into a club. Sound like Iceland was his best option.

Yeh the only option! I dont feel sorry for him one bit! Should have signed for us

Actually a bit sad for him. Gone from hero to zero in so many fans’ eyes. Don’t know what went on behind the scenes but hoped the new football department would’ve felt like a clean slate for him. All a bit confusing given the Instagram teaser he posted a while back.

Really hope he goes on to have a decent career. Always had a hell of a lot of time for him. Will never forget him looking like the only player who gave a **** during our bleakest time. Good luck Elvis ?

There’s a lot to be uncovered with this. I’ve seen comments saying he’s a “waste man”. I don’t believe that. Provably says a lot about the club in the last few years. It should quite rightly come to light! Good luck Elvis.

Imagine a year out of the game, when you've probably got 10-15 as an outfielder in your senior career.
He's sat out a minimum 10% of his profession, and for what? To move to Iceland?
To a team that last won their Championship in 1998, with an average 1,600 gate, and plays at the attached
Elvis has left the building, and his senses...

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

Did you say, going to play in Iceland or going to work for Iceland ?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

I can't believe it's taken this long for him to find a club outside of England. Get new representation Elvis, you deserve better!

 

[Floval Flyer]

Some shameful comments on Twitter directed at Elvis.

Give the kid a break FFS!

Good luck to him I say.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Im still salty that Derek Hall left.

Let it go, it's eating you up inside. Just except it mate.

Expect he'll be back in English football come January. Setting his career back a year and a half at his age probably not the best thing he could have done though. Surprised his agency couldn't find him a Scottish club.

 

[MilkeySUFC]

The cynic in me says he'll be back playing for a UK side within a few months.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Looks like a way to get around our compensation issue and a way back in to English football ASAP.

 

[KiwiRob]

Looks like a way to get around our compensation issue and a way back in to English football ASAP.

It is surprising that Elvis' agent did not explore this option much earlier given that the player has just missed the whole of last season.
