Takemeanywhere Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Holdsworth - Gaffer I have the chance to go to club X, can we cancel/terminate my contract. PD - OK Andy no problem you wern't going to play here anyway between now and the end of the season. Holdsworth/Agent - Great. Now about Andy's settelement!! AH - Settlement? Don't be silly you know weve got no money and need to clear the decks. Lets be blunt here boys. Andy's contract here is £A basic per annum, £B appearance money per match and £C win/draw bonus. He aint going to play here so he aint getting B or C and he's out of contract at the end of the season so won't be in the shop window. If he goes to club X he's going to get those appearance and bonus monies that we aren't paying. Your choice boys - Oh and did I mention he hasn't got a contract from July 1st onwards yet?? Holdworth/Agent - Fair enough, were off. Need to go and make a phone call. All very nice but I bet the club has had to pay something. As has been said already, hopefully not very much.

jorvik_latic Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Not sure the contracts were paid off or if they were just ripped up to allow them to join another club as they have become free agents. Wouldn't that be classed as a free transfer between clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It may be as simple as: "If you stay you will earn £20,000 between now and June assuming you don't play. You tell us you have a club lined up that will pay you £15,000 for the same period of time. You are asking for the £5k difference, but we're offering you £2,500 because hopefully you'll get appearance fees elsewhere". Followed by a punch up. Or a mature negotiation.

Roger Ritchie Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'd hate to think we're paying for things we don't need. Therefore I'm happy to see him go. If Lee is injured or banned for a game I'd happily chuck Winchester in who will be on very small wages and has already had a few scouts looking at him. So playing the kids is money in the bank really be it via reduced wages, possible transfer fees or just improvements from game time. Also lowers our average age a bit.

Takemeanywhere Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Also lowers our average age a bit. Yes, that's key this season and the lowest average age award is much coveted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Agreed, but I also dont think it is beyond the wit of even a footballer to know that we havent got any money. Player - "I want to leave" Latics - "OK then, good luck" Player - "you need to pay up my contract (or at least 3 months, cos Singe said you have to)" Latics - "Weve got no money to pay off players, sorry. You'll have to stay and fight for your place on the bench for the stiffs" Player - "Sod this, I'm off. There's another club who actually wants me and I get chance to get goal/win/appearance money" Latics - "OK, we'll agree to cancel (not terminate) your contract. Good Luck and make sure you score against us when you come back - everyone does" Latics Player - beep beep beep "destination out of order."

dkenyonqfc2 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think we've enough cover out wide and for centre-mid and I think PD sees young Winchester as Lee's main cover, so we should be ok. if we have lee,all seems to have gone quiet on that front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Think he'll link up with Penney now… Holdsworth There's only Furman who has proved a success so far from DPs time here and I'm positive DP didn't sign him. Brill has improved this season even if he his out the team at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
