I dont think cox will go in january. Morrison is a different story though
Good bet I suppose as none of the other useless fuckers are likely to attract any bids. |

From the tone of that article and the quotes from Fitton is sounds as though we're gearing up to sell him sooner rather than later.

If we're like the swindon of old, then cox will be going for £75k shortly.

I was told there was no way he was going in January. But, he must be one pretty pissed off player at the moment, no new faces coming in to strengthen the squad, no manager for 10 games, can't buy a win from anywhere, the club has gone backwards on the pitch since he signed, etc etc. I now feel that if a decent offer comes in then Fitton will take it, and Cox will rub his hands and be off in a rush before the end of the season. Here you are DW you now have £600,000 in the fund to strengthen the squad and in the long run even though we would lose our star player, he on his own cannot keep us up. |

£600,000 is a fair whack these days, and you can almost believe that Cox being replaced by 3-4 good players would better the team in some ways.
But I can't see that much being made available given our projected losses, lack of FA cup run, sacking of Malpas, etc. And where the hell do you find 3-4 good players available now that would want to come to a relegation threatened club.
Moreso selling Cox would not sit pretty with the fans during a relegation battle. Everyone has a price that can't be refused, but I would imagine it would have to be a bloody good price for the Town faithful to lay off.
Lastly 'uddersfields 500K bid is a joke. We have rightly told them to feck off.

I'm assuming Fitton will not accept less than £1m for Cox.
That would leave DW with £600,000 to spend.
Regarding compensation for Malpas, if you are sacked because your incompetent and not good to hold your position at the club, do you still get the full compensation and paid off in full, or do you get a redundancy pay-off?
I do not believe that Malpas has that much coming his way as pay off to be trueful.

If he does go it will be for the obligatory "undisclosed fee".

Not sure on the payoff, will have to see the accounts next year.
Do you really think out of a £1m fee DW would see 600K? Because I don't.

If he doesn't received the full amount after pay-out deductions, I cannot see any point in selling Cox, I'm sure DW would not want to sell him just to weaken the side more than it is already and Fitton seems to me the type of chairman who would release the money for the good of the club. |

I guess we'll have to wait and see then. Though as someone said, if/when it happens it'll all be undisclosed fees.

Does anyone know if Reading have a sell on clause added when we signed Cox?

Most likely.
I don't think we'll sell.

Sheffield United had a £400,000 bid accepted for Jamie Ward (the lad Sturrock was after when manager here), unlikely they will come back for Cox

If we sell him there is no way in hell Wilson will be given 600k to spend at all.
As for Morrison, out of contract in the summer so we'll get fuck all for him to. Him leaving would also go hand in hand with the fact he hasnt featured in our first team for a while despite Kanyuka being awful and Aljofree being injured.
