Pretty hefty I think, 30%. That’s ‘of profit’ so if we got £30 million (bare minimum we’d accept) they get £8-9 million. We paid ‘rising to £3million’ I’m sure we will have triggered all of that now.
Wasn’t 15% mentioned on the Birmingham end? As for replacements, let’s give big Nectar a shot. Maybe pick up Lennon Miller while the bus is up north. This summer will be fun
15% is what I've heard from a few sources Jobe will def be a lose like I'd be gutted if he goes but will wish him well
I might be wrong but think Le Fees fee is out of last seasons budget - so the Clarke & Watson money I reckon we will spend 100 million then what ever we sell will be added to the budget
What you think of Leighton Clarkson? Lad I know swears blind he’s one we after. I know you watch a load of jockball
I thought after his interview when he won the Young Player of the Championship he was gone. To say "which ever team I'm at" said it all for me
Nowhere near good enough, he's OK technically but doesn't really stand out up here. I was a big fan of his when he was coming through at Liverpool, he drifts in and out of games too much Lennon Miller is the stand out CM up here imo, Triantis was probably just behind him. I'd take Raskin from Rangers as well, think our fans would love him - very busy but good technically as well. However, don't think it's a realistic one
One thing I dont really understand in all of this is how we deal with the wages situation. You have to assume Le Fee is on close to what he was at Roma? If we are spending on premier league players they dont come cheap do they? Will they sign with relegation clauses? I doubt it. Then of course what do we do with the lads who have been here for the long haul? Neil is our captain and I bet he isnt on half of what Le Fee is on. Same for Hume, Cirkin, Patto etc. Surely these lads deserve the same pay? One thing we must not do is have 5 or 6 on £40k a week and the rest on £25 k a week. That is not how you create a squad that is together. Big decisions for the club on salaries I think, which may drive the players we recruit.
Most sources except Birmingham fans say it’s 15%. Birmingham fans obviously think it’s 30% as they want to save face. The truth is we’ll never know and that’s the way it should be. Although now we’re a premier side better journalist will cover us and they may get the info. all I care is that the club is think they’ve sold at the right price. I trust this regime to do that and to do what’s right. Sir Kristjaan has earned that.
I think the club will put relegation clauses in place that also correspond with a relegation release clause so that it’s fair for both parties
Typically why the relegated clubs have to go through an extensive rebuild most summers, and playing them early can be a blessing (Burnley were all over the shop when we beat them 1-0) or a curse (Southampton had Ward-Prowse, Lavia etc playing on their opening game iirc)
