Kitman 2207 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I agree with Phil. If Swansea put the clause in then they should honour it and can't complain about it. A clause allow a player to "talk" makes no sense to me and sounds like justification after the fact. But I'm bored with the saga anyway, I hope we're not talking about Enrique's replacement here. It's naive to think that contract negotiations are a one-way street, where the clubs attempt to call all the shots ie. they insist on trigger clauses, for minimal fees. The same applies to the area of bonus', and a player's image rights. There's no sensible logic in a club chairman drawing up a clause (of his volition, with the financial best interests of the club at the fore) which enables a youngster to leave for bugger-all, after a break-out year, to a bigger club. C'mon it's the agents who insist on these (for minimal fees) as a means of fast-tracking their clients' careers to the higher grades on a club scale, where there is a higher ceiling of earning potential. They push for an increased chance of player movement. Swansea probably had to play ball with the player's agent when they got their man originally, just as clubs have to do in order to retain their best players. This is why there is an arbitration process, to allow clubs the right of appeal when there are instances (in this case a contract, with a clause probably included in accordance to agent demands) that allow for an outgoing fee to not be reflective of a player's rate of progresssion. Nice sig by the way. A personal message would have sufficed, rather resorting to effort of changing profile settings. I take your point but I think Swansea as a much bigger club would've had the whip hand? I agree the clause favours the player but they could've insisted on a higher amount. Surely Swansea aren't the only club with this issue but they seem the only one in bother with it. Not sure what you mean by my sig. Its not aimed at anyone...it was copied from an interchange that made me laugh, can't even remember who now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Great. So, who are we going to target now that will take a month to chase then inevitably fail to sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieRoss 0 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What a debacle. What a joke this club has become. Can't even pull a trick negotiating for a minor player with bumpkins like the jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm particularly arsed about the player as I don't know enough about him but fuck me gently. couldn't really put it better. Aye. From the sounds of it we were squabbling over a couple of hundred K. Not that long ago when we really wanted a player (Barton) I think we stumped up the extra loyalty bonus he was due because City wouldnt pay it. While I understand them not wanting to be done over, this is taking the piss. Acting like a two bit club. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
