Has it been decided yet? If not does anyone know when? If it has does anyone have an idea to what it was?
We have an office in Blackpool, a Blackpool ST Holder reckons he's heard £5m plus a player. I said he's got two hopes ones Bob and the other is no.
It apparently already has gone down that route, according to someone on here (forgot for sure but think it was OLM) we gave in trying to agree a fee with Oyston who was said wouldn't budge from his £8m valuation so we let it go to a tribunal. How long does it usually take for these things to get sorted? It's been a week now thought it might have got some closure by now.
I don't think the tribunal panel meet every time a fee needs to be set, they probably just meet a few times a year.
That's what I said isn't it? Plus the loan fee of £1.5m Palace paid for him is taken off any agreed tribunal fee (I think). So it could be £5m less the Palace loan fee = £3.5m plus a player - Not too bad f that was the case. Even so, I can see Blackpool getting even less than that.
Im quite suprised at the numbers people are saying, Id be surprised if it got in to the millions. He was a free agent so all were paying it compensation for what they spent on developing the player less the loan fee they got from Palace. Or thats how I understood it anyway
http://uk.soccerway.com/news/2014/July/16/ince-explains-preference-for-hull/? Ince actually sounds like a humble young lad, none of this road show rubbish. Chose game time over flashiness. What makes me laugh is how Ive read a few times since he signed for us, most pundits ARE saying he should have took the risk and tried it on at a big club, when the rest of the time they're saying the big clubs hoard all the young players and the young players shouldn't get their heads turned by money and go and play elsewhere instead!!!! Make your ****ing minds up ****s!
Ince sound a level headed sort of guy, with both feet on the ground, hopefully he will fit in and do a good job for us. I think the fact that his dad was touting him around gave the wrong impression.
I'd like to think he's OK, but I'm a tad bothered about all the Press stuff about his choices and Inter. Someone is making him out to be a (mega)star already. I do hope Brucey lets him know he's not the biggest fish in the pond.
I get the feeling this was more his dad's way of getting him in the shop window, but the lad himself realised that if he went to Milan he would be a bench warmer, and as he has stated he feels he has a better chance of getting game time with a team like us. I generally get the feeling now that players, Huddlestone and Livermore are examples, are tired of sitting the bench most of the time at a big club, they want to get game time, so are prepared to step down a level to get it.
Aye, English players starting to see sense. Better for their career (and our national team prospects) to be playing every week than to sit on a bench (or not even make the bench) just to say they 'play' for a top 6 team. Jack Rodwell needs to do the same... 16 games since 2012?
If you get 11 of them to "step down" at the same time then they get the best of both worlds: First team football and a chance to play in a good team.
