End of day does it really matter he JUDAS did not want to play for rovers anymore that's the bottom line of it! You don't need that in any team in my humble opinion UTG bring on Sheffield United!!

Did conversation go... Wael- So, you've made some bad choices lately Steve. Appointed the son of a cockey midget as manager to find he used to play for you, and was hated by the fans then. Extended his contract, just before he embarked on a catastrophic run of results, leaving you on the brink of relegation, dodgy deal that bought you MT against EFL rules, which could cost you x £m plus x number of points, this all on top of sinking some £80+m so far into a poor championship side, get your cheque book out and we'll take it no further.

No point crying over spilt milk etc. A sensible and rational decision I suspect, lets learn our lessons, get on with building the club for the future and not try and fight costly losing battles out of principle and feeling the need to be seen to be doing the right thing cos there is no other plan in town . . . . onwards. Yes, a sensible and rational decision and let's get on with the future. Let's move on. Mind you the lesson to learn is not let our best players get to the end of their contracts in the first place if we can avoid it. But as a lower league club that's often easier said than done! Not sure we could do much different last week when he went. UTG!

Not sure we could do much different last week when he went. UTG! Agree, although I do find the whole thing of "letting" his contract run out very confusing. I can't think for one moment the old board not discussing his contract with DC/MT or his Agent, I expect we were informed of his expectation well in advance & I would also assume that DC would have discussed this with the new board too. ISTM that he didn't want to be here or renew his contract, so I wouldn't blame the club ( old or current owners ), he couldn't get what he wanted in the summer so stayed on , knowing where he wanted to end up all along. it was also posted on this forum months ago that there was a 300k release clause so someone obviously spilt the beans SH said last week that there had been insider dealings & wasn't at all happy about it, but proving it & who was responsible is another matter. Club is right not to drag it on, let him rot with the rest of the s*** over there. The only memory I have of him is smacking it over the bar from 2yards on Saturday. UTG!!

More interesting will be if they have "paid us off" to forget this.
It looks like no answers will be forthcoming at Thursdays Q & A after the BRSC AGM
Did you expect any ?

Means absolutely nothing. Us and them cannot have our own transfer policy whether we like it or not. We all have rules to obey. Either they did nowt wrong or they did and have paid us off. There is no third way. If they decide to buy another of ours it is business as usual. If out of contract they can take for nowt, depending on their age. if not they have to make an agreed bid. The bottom line is that our previous owners allowed his contract to run down, so whether they cheated or not, it's our own fault. why blame Sir Nick, if the current board had offered him a very large contract he would have stayed. So based on your logic we must now offer Billy Bob a five year £10,000 per week contract to stop it happening again ?

Here's a radical thought. Maybe the whole thing was about trying to diffuse what had become a nasty situation. The player's house being attacked, lots of hate against him and the 82ers.
Say you're complaining to the league, and then drop it 10 days later. That'd calm things down, wouldn't it?

I think it is ludicrous that Edgar to make a complaint. If the FA was doing its job it would clearly see that the offer being exactly in line with the release value was suspicious. They should investigate regardless of any complaint.
I think it is more likely that the 300k number was in the public domain a long time ago so there was no way anyone could prove how City knew about it. Their defence could easily be "we read it on a Rovers forum".

I would concur with that. as suggested (leaked?) by someone on OTIB, perhaps future release clauses exclude BCFC as well

Regardless of where the figure first appeared it must have been disclosed by the player or his agent as, apart from Rovers, who else would know the figure? Although if we didn't insert a confidentially clause in his contract perhaps we had no case to pursue.

Thought we gave him a 2 year contract in the summer, it seems daft on reflection not giving MT a similar one on our promotion from the Conference, but I assume NH & DC decided it he wasn't worth one, or we simply couldn't afford to take the gamble offer him one.

The bottom line is that our previous owners allowed his contract to run down, so whether they cheated or not, it's our own fault.It took us all Summer to persuade him to stay and that's with League One football and apparently a pretty good wage on offer. I assume he was holding out for an offer from the Championship which DC said never came. Do you really think he would've signed a contract with a League Two club that weren't looking likely to go up and even less resources available at our disposal? I don't.

So if you spill the beans then the amount in the release clause no longer applies.
