I reckon that missed pen was a shrewd move to save us a couple of quid.

Would think it is because he is under 23  ....and anyone signing an under 23yr old has to compensate the club  for the development of that player ....thats if the club wanted to keep him or offered him the same or improved contract

Tho cant seeing it being much as they only had him for 2 years


<*(((><

    Town have given me some of my highest highs and my lowest lows ........ God it is like a marriage

It’s usually shìte from the perspective of the departed club, and that’s even when we’re talking about a promising young player who’s been poached by a club some way up the food chain.

I’m not suggesting for a second that McAtee isn’t a promising player - he’s class at this level and in my opinion will go on to play much higher in spite of his current career trajectory. However, from the perspective that is the blunt instrument of the tribunal system, they’re not going to attribute much value to a player who’s just dropped out of the football league and who was only at Scunny for a couple of years (which I think is a big factor).

As for the apparent silence from both clubs, I imagine the sum is so paltry that Scunny simply agreed not to appeal the decision so long as Town agreed not to disclose figure involved, thus obscuring the ineptitude of Swann and co.

Why do you feel the need to know all the details?  We have him, our gain is their loss. That's all I need to know. Not bothered about the nitty gritty.

My guess is that we payed absolutely peanuts (based on length of time at club/number of games played etc.).

As a result, Scunthorpe don’t want to release the figures of the tribunal as it is likely to aggrieve fans. Especially when you look at how quickly the fans have warmed to him here.

Tough times for the Scunts.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Mad to think that we got a future Ballon D’or winner through a tribunal. Scunny will be kicking themselves when it happens.

You wouldn't think we'd have had to pay much for a youngster stepping down a division. Would make a nice change to be on the right side of the sum in a tribunal for a change.

General question, why is he so productive for us, even a league lower down, but scunny didn’t want him?
