LocomotiveOwlerton Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I saw that earlier. Sounds like he was badly advised, but signed a perfectly legitimate contract and now doesn't want to be held to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Although it's been well discussed thats a very misleading headline But then i suppose "clubs not interested in young player that will cost nothing unless he signs a PROFESSIONAL contract and then £2.5k per FIRST TEAM appearance up to a maximum of 100 appearances" isn't that catchy as a headline...

jamsandwich Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 "up to 250k fine".. if he gets anywhere near needing to pay that back - he'll have had a hugely successful career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastleigh Owl Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Standard contract= bitter blunt whining that the worlds stitched him up, where have I seen this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 He's free to sign as a scholar because we have waived our right to the £25k fee Then a club has got 2 years to assess whether he's worth spending any further money on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I like the part how she complains about not knowing what "compensation is payable" means. When any kid gets a contract offer from an academy, they get a booklet that breaks down all the rules and what is to be expected when signing for an academy- including a comprehensive breakdown of what compensation will be due under what circumstances. And as has been said repeatedly, any club would snap your hands off to sign a player for £250,000 (not all at once) for someone who will play 100 games, even League Two clubs would consider that a good deal. Coincidentally, most League One and above clubs would be happy to pay £10k for a player to sign on a scholarship deal, even if the most they got out of him was him appearing on the bench once. It's just a bitter, bitter blunt. If he was good enough, he'd be snapped up for the absolutely minuscule upfront fee being proposed: It's as simple as that. He sounds promising enough for Conference North football, I'm sure he'll have a great career as a top player going part-time for Ilkeston while doing some joinery on the side.

scram Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Unless i msread it there is no fee required from us for him to sign a scholarship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Unless i msread it there is no fee required from us for him to sign a scholarship Good grief you're right it's for a pro contract... This is becoming more and more pathetic on his part by the second. I can understand why he'd be upset and disappointed and try and stir up outrage... but his parents should really know better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
