No leaks this end regarding the fees set yesterday ,  any reliable stories your end .?

Best I can work out is this .

Bostons commerical man says on twitter ,  " Boston,s fans want to know fee but we cannot reveal it unless the other side agree ."
Your spokesman said "its nearer our figure than theirs "

I would say it is a safe bet to say Fenty would only offer 10k for the pair .

Newton a good business man and learning football management quickly would qoute Rob Scott valuation of 100k for Pearson when Alfeton was alleged to be chasing him  , this was well reported in the media .
Based on the above sentence you would think newton would value the pair at 125k at least .

Using your mans imformation the sums must be something like this ,

Mid point between these two figures is 67.5 k  
Considering Town are loath to reveal the figure maybe 60k  would be a good guess .

Hope Rob pulls it of tonight .!

Judge GTFC and Boston's spending in January.

Both teams will have budgeted for the figure they EXPECTED to receive/pay.

Quoted Text
That hearing set an undisclosed payment for the players but the Telegraph has learned the Mariners have been instructed to pay less than £20,000 for the pair with United understood to value each player in the region of that figure.


Bostonian you are living in cloud cukoo land, £60K ! It would have been less than that for your whole team (not that we wanted it).

Your certainly right about OUR team not being worth 60k GM .  
Do you think Newton would go to the hearing armed with newspaper cutting featuring Rob Scott  claiming Pearson is worth 100k and ask the tribunal for 20k. ?  the quoted text is discredited straightaway .

Been more instructive if the text had mentioned that the mariners did not agree for the fees to be published.
If your figure is right who do you think has got the best deal gm.

I think we will have wait for accounts to be published James , unless we get another clue within the next few days .

Jesus christ, will you let the 100k thing go... Do you really believe any chairman would be stupid enough to take the said newspaper clipping...??? And do you seriously believe that the tribunal would seriously look at such shite...???

You got the best deal regardless of what we paid you... Even if we paid you zero pounds you got the best deal, as we took them off your wage bill for some unknown reason...

I wouldn't have taken them for free. Still at least the cup prize money will cover it.

I thought the thread referred to how much money we earned for reaching the first and second round?

From what I understand the figures are much closer to Town's valuation than Boston's, in fact much closer than even the halfway mark you suggest. The fact no figures have been publicly quoted is usually out of respect for one or both parties.


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

good deal? I though 60k was half what you wanted? instead we get your two best players for a third of that.

keep digging.

We lose two of our best players and get a fee none of us know exactly how much until THE TELGRAPH show us the evidence   (don,t hold your breath ) , heard of Leveson ?  
Boston replace them with two younger better prospects free and on less wages .

Town pay fee for two players that judging by comments made on here will maybe struggle to become average BSP players .
Bearing in mind there are plenty of good BSP players available on free transfers , these transfers will not have endeared the managers to John Fenty .

What is your point here. The two lads have at this point been average. You seem very bitter - where as a lot of us are bit indifferent, Relax and speculate about John Fenty's thoughts privately as your thoughts do not matter too much to us. Come back in your normal affable form and you are welcome or I would suggest go home
