    £20m plus more than likely a few million from the sell on clause is great business for a championship winger.

    Just because PL clubs are cooking the books selling players for ridiculous fees to each other doesn’t mean that’s the rate we sell at, as a second division club. Adam Wharton went for £18m earlier this year and he’s a full England international already at the age of 20.

    The problem is that those posters post the same point often 10 times a day. Its become a real echo chamber and, for me, the board has been ruined which is a shame.On this board you can get people who are critical of the club but debate is allowed.

    I get that on a daily basis but I'm still here mate <laugh>

    Perhaps you should try explaining a bit more and shouting less, just a thought.

    Social media comments are ridiculous, i love having a wee look to see the meltdown of the minority of our supporters

    Seen people saying they are done with the club n wont be back (even tho clarke has still chosen to leave us - i have no issues with him wanting to leave)

    The usual of the owners lacking ambition, such a boring argument. Id argue that sell a player to reinvest in the squad is showing they are trying to do something to take us forward.

    That mundle is useless, those same supporters said the EXACT same thing about Clarke at the start

    A couple have said we should chant clarke's name throughout the game against Burnley - cracking idea that like

    I loved watching Clarke n i hope he smashes it but our club is cracking position to kick on - the big reason is RLB seems to be a very good manager

    There was always a possibility he left. But he had a deal agreed.

    You don’t know either. It’s being reported £15m upfront. If it’s £15m it very poor. If it’s £25m it’s good business.

    im not sure what’s wrong in that view. I think some won’t have any criticism of the club imho. Il does as some wish s as nd **** off with my views.

    Only thing I’d dispute there is that, whilst he is desperate to play in the Prem, it didn’t have to be this season. He would have waited if it had played out that way.

    What do you think of 20 million plus a sell on clause?

    Find to criticise the club but folk will still challenge your thoughts tho. Like you are doing with people being positive - works both ways

    Also when you bring up stuff like BCB thatll always get folks backs up, thats in the past n the club have dealt with it

    My gripe would be less about add ons and more about it being about 15 mill altogether after they take their cut. They take their cut of add ons as well as straight up fee.

    Thats just how deals are structured now though mate. Rarely does anyone pay the full fee up front when it’s a sizeable amount. The main thing is we’re getting a decent fee plus what seems like “easy to hit” add ons. It makes no odds to us, the fee will show on the clubs accounts and free up funds to spend. I doubt KLD is sat there refreshing his NatWest online banking app waiting for the money to drop in before we can go and sign a replacement..
