On that last point, thats mainly because, if we are in for cash bids and clubs know how much we have spare they'll hike the price, keep em guessing, better for the club.

The only annoying thing is that Fitton won't come out with a clear statement about how much we got. Why do clubs insist on keeping this information a secret, with a number of unclear and different deals being quoted by the press. It just pisses fans off.
Why on earth should he come out with a statement, and why should this information be in the public domain? It's commercially sensitive, and guaranteed to be used by the clubs from whom we will be looking to buy replacements. Fans may well be pissed off, but so be it. If they believe they have a right to know this information, they're mistaken. |

...but...£1.5million plus 400k add ons for a player of Cox's talent is fucking stupid.
We've been done. We should be getting more than that even after Readings cut.

Firstly, its just plain ridiculous to suggest that clubs will try to screw us for more money - we're not Chelsea and we're talking about loose change in comparison. Plus whatever we sold him for doesn't have any real effect on how much we've got to spend as Fitton was already putting his hand in his pocket. Secondly, you might want to do the sums based on the deal that has been announced. Its all over the media as being £1.5m plus another £0.4m in add ons so at present other clubs will think we've got £1.5m in cash. In reality we get under £1m in cash - for us to have £1.5m in cash from the deal we'd have needed to sell him for £2.35m once the sell on clause is taken in to account. |

Surely the point is we got as much for cox as we could. We couldn't wait as his value would decrease the closer to contract expiry we got. And keeping him probably wasn't an option as i think from the press snippets i have seen and heard he wanted out if a good offer came.

But 'in reality' you don't know if the sell on is included in the figures being bandied about - it's just possible that the Adver may be wrong-, and you don't know if it was really 40%. Why is it so important to know ? It's only one part of the financial jigsaw, without the rest we're none the wiser. |

i'm sorry but how can the fee be dissapointing? He has played one full season for us and scored 32 goals and that was a dissapointing season at that.
SP played 3 seasons for us scoring a lot more goals consistantly and also in a play off season and we sell him for a reported £750k. That was dissapointing.
£1.9m for coxy is good business after one season with us. Dissapointing he's gone but not dissapointed at the price

but Coxy is a far far better player than SSP-quality like his is rare,some of the goals he scored were world-class and that's not an exaggeration.Do you think he is worth more than Horlock was when we sold him for 1.5 million?Thats all we are quaranteed
