The obligation to buy will mean that we've already agreed a contract and wage with him upon promotion. I'd imagine that if we don't get promoted, no such agreement is in place, and so we'd need to negotiate a new salary which one would guess would need to be quite a bit less.
Even if we don’t go up and Le Fee is quality, I’d imagine we’ll be moving a few on in the summer that’ll generate plenty of funds.. nothing to say we couldn’t splash out £10m+ on a permanent at the end of the season with promotion bonuses etc structured similarly to some of the deals we’ve done in recent seasons just with more of an upfront fee. Understand he’ll probably be on big wages but he’s willing to come to the championship to play football so never say never!
Hopefully Enzo is training with the lads this morning and then will do the media stuff this afternoon. Announcement c. 5pm
I was hoping to see a Scarf pic by now. I really hope he's available to play tomorrow. That would do him and us the world of good before Burnley. Same goes with Samed
I don't think he'll play tomorrow even if he signs in time. Reggie doesn't seem the kind to throw a player in who's had at most one training session
Not sure it's lucky to employ people with good football relationships and contacts, would've been part of the thinking in employing them you'd think
doesn't have to be announced before 12... just registered. They may have registered him this morning but waiting until after training to do media etc to then announce.
Moore Huggins O'Nien Seelt Alese Browne Triantis Aleksic Roberts Mayenda Mundle That's what our likely 'absolute worst case' scenario of starting XI next season if almost every promising player we have is sold following failure to get promotion. So that would be the base point to build from - with upwards of £100m banked in transfer fees. In my view that's not all that bad. The only reason it would take years to recover would be if we perform a hell of a lot worse in the transfer market than we ever have under this ownership IMO.
It’s a **** rule anyway about being registered the day before. If he’s yours and you’re paying the wages the during the warm up should be good enough.
Don't really want to lose Ballard, but if we could get enough to secure Mepham on a permanent plus 8 figures in the bank, I could make my peace with it.
