Leaping Lannys Perm Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Sorry if this has already been discussed but I don't recall seeing anything on here and I had complete forgotten about this until Yesterday. I got chatting to the bloke next to me on the coach to Boro and we were talking about Madine. He noted that he always seemed to come on at around 70 minutes or so and wondered if this had anything to do with that clause that was in his contract where we would owe Carlisle more money (100k if I remember rightly) if he played one more league game. I said that I assumed that clause had a time limit on it and if not, the loan back to them we did last season probably was used as a way of writing off at least some of that. Then Madine comes on yesterday and I looked at the clock and lo and behold he has come on just after the 70th minute mark. So I thought I'd do some investigating and I looked at the @swfc tweets that come to my phone. Against Boro he came on on 71 minutes, Against Millwall he came on on 71 minutes, Against Derby he came on on 71 minutes. That's quite a pattern. The only game where he didn't come on at that exact time was Brighton when he came on in the 85 minute. So now I am wondering if this really is the case and Milan is still trying to avoid paying the extra money. I seems like a ridiculous situation if so. IF this clause still exists, is he really going to never start a league game again? What if Super Nuhiu gets injured? Will we just play with one striker and keep Madine on the bench? And what if we are 2 down, do we have to wait until 71 minutes to bring and extra striker on? It's probably all just a coincidence (although that's some coincidence) but could there be something to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I would imagine it's been paid. Reported in the Carlisle press that it's not that much too. About £50k I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 More likely that there's a plan that Nuhiu runs himself into the ground for 70 mins and gets replaced when he's knackered. Interesting spot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It is strange tho that he comes on in the 70th minute every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosleyowl Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Wouldn't be a surprise of there was a clause in his contract, like an appearance fee, that only gets paid if he starts or comes on before 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamb1253 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That was a cup game. Apologies - I presumed it was a clause based on "appearances", rather than "league appearances" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I don't think its anything other than coincidence , although with old scrooge I really wouldn't be surprised ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl In Black Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Alot of managers/coaches make tgeir changes around the same time in a match. E.g fergie on the hour mark. Our squad is so smal there's only reallly madine to bring on to change things. Probably conicidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
