Steve Hamer stated "we were powerless in bid to keep Matty Taylor" If the £300K clause is correct who is responsable for negotiating such a ridiculous contract? We offer £6-8k a week without protecting our own interests, another castasraphy in business, will we ever learn.

If the £300K release clause is true, then I can't believe no other club swooped in sooner. Surely it was a fee?!

How do you know that Matty and/or his agent insisted on the terms of the Contract and would not have renewed the Contract on any other terms?

The Board have some explaining to do. The silence is deafening and the fans need to know what is going on. 140 character tweets aren't good enough I'm afraid.

MT and his agent held all the cards and Matt has chosen those scumbags.

If I was DC, and that was the case, I would have told him to feck off on the spot.

In all business negotiations it is not a one way street. We should not allow ourselves to be backed into a corner. No player is bigger than the club.

The £300k figure is unsubstantiated rumour, don't get so hung up on it.

I said "if the £300K is correct" Hamer has stated it and all the media,I hope I am wrong and you are right Highly unlikely!

That's probably right, he looked like he was going to go for free in the summer. However if we are going to put these clauses in then I think we should at least say the clause applies to any offer except one from Bristol Dam City. Hope he breaks his leg first game after 10 seconds and never plays for them again. Hope also that he can never walk around this city again without getting sh** to remind him that moving from us to help them is the action of a sh**.

Taylor was gonna go anyway, he wanted out last season but couldn't get the right deal off anyone...if he's gone for that then yeah it's not great but he was gonna go for nothing so we have made £300,000 or more and we had 19 goals better off...it's not end of world

He could have walked in the summer and instead he walked on deadline day. He has always been in control. What did our board and manager do wrong other than have a squad of players on short term contracts which, quite frankly, has done more good than harm, imo.

I've definitely missed any reference from Hamer to any price tag, let alone one of £300k. If you think that in the age of twitter and "breaking news" that any of the media to which you refer have taken the time to fact check that figure, or that they even have sources that could do so, then you are very much mistaken. I find it incredibly unlikely that it would have taken until today for anyone to come in for Matty if the figure was anywhere near as low as £300k.

I think your missing the point, the market is dictating £5 -£10 million for goalscorers not £300k

This deal reminds me of the Junior Agogo deal.
Could've walked for nothing, but signed a contract so we at least got something.

I don't believe the £300k figure for a second. For that price there would have been a queue of clubs that met the buy out clause before today. Personally I find it midly amusing that after Pantsdowns infamous no one will talk of Rovers line he's now put us firmly in the national spotlight by panic buying Taylor in a desperate attempt to keep them out of league 1.

Just hope it was at least 500k.
