killiekranky Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Sorry Well Worshippers but this is life as a more discerning Scottish Football Fan. First rule of Diddy Club, We are not allowed to have nice things ! Genuinely feel your pain as I await my own clubs next round of tapping, robbing and plundering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 To be fair, if it is 3m as reported, that’s a 100k for every game the boy’s ever started for Motherwell. Also, a million quid for every goal he scored against top six opposition last season... In all seriousness though, it’s a phenomenal amount of money for the club and some people seem to have lost sight of that. For a player who, as the Capt says above, could have quite easily walked away and left us for pennies(comparatively speaking) like Hastie did. Since taking over Alan Burrows(and co) have surely now wiped out the club dept, taken in 5m in player sales(give or take) and will probably be posting there second seven figure profit of his tenure on the back of this deal. They have quite frankly done a remarkable job in a short space of time and deserve a bit more respect than some of the arseholes on social media show him/them. Maybe I’m wired slightly different, however seeing grown adults greeting and demanding answers from the club on social media is an absolute fucking mile oot.This is far too reasonable a post for a Scottish football forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I came here to post something sensible and praising the club a bit. @Casagolda has done that better than I would have. Also reading St Johnstone, Accies & Celtic fans give their 3rd rate opinions on things made me forgot what I was gonna post anyway. I think we are all just upset it is Celtic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A release clause is just that. A release clause.

Just hard to see such a talent go so quickly and as Busta said to them makes it hard to swallow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 How much did you get for hastie?I think his development fee was estimated around the £400k mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame, the rules should protect the club that developed players more. He's worth at least five times that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Celtic offer cash that automatically active his release then offer above that?Yeah but surely instead of just making the release clause “£3million cash”, you could make it “£3million cash plus add-on for 10% of future transfer fee”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure his years playing Football Manager would have come in handy with this deal. f**k off, ya dick. You've missed an opportunity and you know it. £3m is a lot, but hes worth more.

OK, I'm taking a liberty with McKinstry but during McCall's entire tenure we lost *takes breath*: Reynolds (£100k), Sutton (free), Jennings (free), Murphy (£100k), Law (free), Randolph (free), Humphrey (free), Ojamaa (£300k), Higdon (free), Hateley (free), Hutchinson (free), Anier (£300k). Total: £800k. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for the outrage when it doesn’t appear on the next set of issues accounts as this transaction will take place after the end of the club’s accounting period (31 May)!! With regards to the talk of release clause, it may not be contractual between the club and player. I imagine that an agreed figure would have been spoken about with the expectation that extras would be included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I sincerely hope it's the £3M we said we would hold out for and not an 'undisclosed fee' which would hint at us being shafted. He was always going to go but it's all the more annoying that it's to that particular club, and if he does indeed end up there then in all honesty f**k him, I hope his career ends in failure. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have this mythical value in your head. How much did you sell him for in your FM game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
