    Ipswich report Swansea to the Premier League over missing payments during Tamar Priskin loan deal
    Championship side looking for outstanding payments regarding striker's time at recently promoted Welsh team and have asked for a transfer embargo to be placed on the Swans

    Championship outfit Ipswich Town have reported Swansea City to the Premier League on the issue of non-payment of invoices in regards to the loan of Tamas Priskin.

    Paul Jewell’s side believe that the newly promoted club failed to live up to the deal struck between Town’s chief executive Simon Clegg and Swansea’s chairman Huw Jenkins.

    Town claim the loan agreement said that Swansea were to pay for Priskin’s wages up until May 31, 2011, even after the player became injured on April 22 whilst on loan. The deal was also dependant on the Welsh side’s successes in the play-offs, which they won.

    On the issue, Simon Clegg told Town’s official website: “I am hugely disappointed that a legally binding agreement reached in good faith by both clubs as part of Swansea’s final push for promotion is now being disputed.

    “I am genuinely delighted for Swansea City and their fans but the attempted re-negotiation and deliberate misinterpretation of agreed terms by their chairmen is not fitting for a club which has just secured the ultimate prize in Championship football and with it a £90 million windfall.

    “Tamas arrived in Swansea fit and became injured whilst under their care. That’s football, but contracts have to be honoured and I have absolutely no interest in re-negotiating the agreement.

    “As a result of Swansea refusing to pay our invoices, I have reported them to the Premier League, sought an immediate transfer embargo and am now seeking full payment of all outstanding sums with the agreed contractual interest rate of five per cent above base.”
