STFC Transfer Rumours

[Samdy Gray]

Not sure- can you tell the difference between your arse and your elbow?

One's pert, the other's pointy.

I understand the sell on goes to the old board not the club. I wouldnt get too excited!

One minute let me just got get a copy of the contract and post it on here for you to look over.... 

That's not quite what I had in mind (nice and simple as it would be, I'm personally against sensitive business information such as contracts, bank statements etc. making it into the public domain), but some reference to where this information has come from would be helpful as to ascertaining its validity.

The idea of Fitton getting a 'finders fee', or some kind of percentage of our percentage is sensible enough, but you insinuated that the old board would get the entire sell on percentage. That smacks of manure-coated bollocks to me.

Chang, you've made my day by calling me shite. Please continue.

Being reported up here that Marlon Pack likely to sign for Crawley; expecting about £50k to £75k.
I'd have thought he could have done better than that!

I'd have thought WE could have done better than that too.

Love him to sign here.

Point taken about insinuating its the while lot but point stands unless Burnley get a good wedge like the £8m Blackburn paid for Rhodes, STFC will benefit certainly but not to the extent most people think. I don't know what percentage it is mind.

Whilst it doesn't name Names someone asked the question to Jed on Twitter @JedMcCoy Are you able to confirm the sell on clause with Charlie Austin. Rumours he could move for over 3mil next week.  response was @JedMcCoy: complicated as there are % clauses to pay out to Everyman & his dog ..;( so where as that doesn't confirm anything hopefully that shows everyone I wasn't talking bollocks.

It appears the deal for Charlie to Hull has fallen through.

[Family at War]

I would like to confirm that The Doctor is correct as I sat speaking to Nick Watkins in the Legends last season and he was telling me the same. i.e. a percentage to Poole, some to other parties and Swindon could potentially make between 200K to 300K.

Cheers, that's the kind of thing I was hoping for. I knew about the percentage to Poole, and a percentage to Fitton as a Finder's fee probably wouldn't be too far fetched. The important point is not ALL the percentage goes elsewhere- the club still benefits from the future career of a player we sold nearly three years ago.

A finders fee to be paid to fitton,what the fuck is that about,he was chairman at the time so since when does a chairman get a finders fee.just goes to show that no one apart from us fans gives a fuck about the club.Black the only one who comes away with any credit IMO.

Not 100% sure but believe Fitton wasn't paid a salary. In that context a finder's fee doesn't seem unreasonable and it's fairly common in football I believe.

Are you serious, why not fund the club till the end of season then pull the plug, not when we were just getting in top gear.

Not to mention that as the majority shareholder the buck stops with Black anyway.

Why should he? He didn't want the club and it was a massive drain on his finances. Everyone knows he kept us going longer than he wanted to, you have to draw the line at some point, regardless of how it impacts on the business you've been keeping afloat.
