Quoted from headingly_mariner


The lad is a prospect, but surely no club in our league is offering him that sort of money. That would probably make him one of our highest earners and i am not sure Town could justify spending that on him.

fair play to him if he's been offered that as i dont think we could or would want to compete with that.


If MJ thinks he's a prospect and will be a regular starter next season, why not?

Much better to invest at the higher end of our wage structure with players that have a greater scope for improvement which could end up providing a future profitable saleable asset rather than investing in players toward the end of their careers with no scope for improvement or sell on value.

I'm not making a judgement on whether Clifton would be worth that or not, that's up to MJ, but surely it makes sounder financial sense to invest at the top end of our wage structure with the best young and upcoming players we can afford that are ready for first team action..

If a club is willing to offer him that amount of money, then a moderate transfer fee plus a sell-on clause would seem to be in order.

That fee would help rebuild a squad but look how the Bogle money was squandered and too be honest I would rather build my team with a Clifton in it.


As the club hasn't recieved all the Bogle transfer money it might be  tricky to squander

You should consider writing a strongly worded letter to Wigan...

If I had the facts at my disposal, I would be happy to do so. They must be in breach of a contract, mustn't they?

Doubt it - very rarely is a transfer fee not paid in instalments- very few clubs have that kind of cash in hand so they contract to pay in installments

This is though in part something I don't get about some posters assertions that the club pays for its self and you don't need someone with money to be there- how on earth do you sign players- even with installments there has to be some money to pay those and further more there's signing fees for players, agent fees etc etc

Just means that JF and his board of nodding donkeys get to waste it in stages as opposed to all in one go then !
Same result in the end.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
