Wasn't there an issue over his contract/compensation? Was this ever resolved?

Yes, we received a fee based on the FIFA prescribed compensation amounts for "training and development". I think it worked out at just over £300,000.

He isn’t though - the fact that he left the way he did was extremely disappointing compared to others

I dunno, you don't see many players with a weakness as obvious as a diagonal ball over Buchanan's head. Towards the end, teams were literally earmarking that as a way to get in behind our defence and it became a real problem for us. It didn't help that Byrne was on the other side and neither were particularly tall, but it became a trend that teams kept trying that, often with success.
