I think that handing a transfer request is a bit thick tbh.

As i understand it, If you are under contract, and the club attempt to move you on, by accepting an offer, you are legally entitled to the remainder of your contract when you leave. If you hand in a transfer request you negate all of that.

Couldve had more money aden if the price was right!

I would imagine that he knows he'll be offered higher pay elsewhere than the terms of his contact at Swindon and this is the key driver of his action.

Was beginning to warm to Flint after his antics picking fights whilst on the town.

He can fuck right off. (As long as we get a decent amount for him)

How old is he? Is this a tribunal jobbie?

No we have triggered the 1 year option on his contract so would be a transfer fee.

Request denied.

As it should be.

for the figure reported I'd personally drive him there. Only if we can replace him though - we do not need another greer situation.

I have no problem with selling players - just as long as it funds new players

Sell him, be interesting to know the reasons although it would surprise me if he hasn't been tapped up - I'm sure rejecting his request is only short term though to push up his price but at £300k sell him, but it depends where the money is going to go

My bet would be it's going towards the club's income deficit ;-)

Regardless of your views on the board, or their motives. Their clear first aim is to try to make this as close to a self sustainable league 1 football club as possible and that doesn't necessarily mean keeping all the best of your current crop.

PDC's theory of 2 quality players for every position sadly doesn't work for a league 1 club with a mediocre following. The fact is there seems to be interest for Flint. There doesn't seem to be interest for TAH etc.

Get rid for that sort of money. His distribution is horrendous and he has the turning circle of an artic lorry.

That offer is silly money.
