I didn't even know his signing was subject to a tribunal.

Strange that neither club are making any comment on the outcome.

Maybe I’m reading too much between the lines but the statements are slightly different. Ours says ‘we will make no further comment’ whereas Scunthorpes says ‘neither club will make any comment’.

That feels like the undisclosed part of the settlement is coming from their end.

You can only be open if the other party agrees. I guess Mr Swann doesn't want anyone to know how much he's siphoning out of SUFC this week.

Any club would be stupid to show their hand before a tribunal.
If we came out and said we think he’s worth £20000 and the tribunal was thinking he’s worth less then we’ve shot ourselves in the foot

They've obviously been told not to divulge anything by the tribunal , and why do we need to know?

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.

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?

I thought Scunny offered him terms but he turned them down to sign for us?

It would be nice to know how much he has cost us. Or would you be happy football clubs never have to disclose how much they pay in transfer fees?
