RandomGuy. Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 13 minutes ago, Templar Saint said: Also had to pay money for William Sandford from AIK Gothenberg on 1 year contract as he was 20 year old. Him and Dailly would be the bulk of the money in current accounts hence the comments regarding cross border transfers. Sandford wasnt signed from AIK, despite the club claiming he was. His previous club was some 5th tier Swedish outfit. Unsure if compensation was needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandford and Dailly - development fees were due to clubs but they were signed without due care being taken as to what the fees would be. Believe it was not cheap . Development fees due to any club player was at from 12 to 23 as I am sure you are aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the lad Sandford is now back at club you signed him from and Dailly is at erm...Romford, it's safe to say it's a shocking bit of dealing. Understand that some deals don't work out but it does seem very strange that a lot of money was spent on such unremarkable young players when there would be an understanding that a fee would be due. We've been there too, Stubbs in his brief time with us spent £75k on an English 5th tier Centre half who played twice (vs East Kilbride and 3rd division Queens Park) and looked so far out of his depth itcwas unreal. He was playing Australian 5th tier football within a year. Edited February 23 by djchapsticks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but Bobby Dailly was Christian Daillys son and he said he was brilliant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Always thought it strange that we had Dailly on trial for our youth team and passed on him whilst we were in the Championship and then you lads went head first, signed him right up and paid a development fee too. Nothing that's happened since has changed my mind on that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for (if the £250k rumours are true) someone who'd make our "most expensive" starting 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint DBL Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Might have missed it being mentioned here but a good move from the club on the media front, would expect good content from guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hopefully the club actually allow them to do what they want to do, rather than hamstring them with a lack of money/help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 See they've already put some interviews up on Saints TV with them behind a subscription wall again. Felt like that ceased a couple of years ago? insanely good captures for us on paper. Both big saints fans and very experienced in the media, they'll know the kind of output the supporters want to see and hope they have free reign to go and just do it. I'd guess they were targeted. Great decision by whoever made that call, if indeed that's what happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Very happy with the new recruits. Good to see two proper journalists on the club’s wage bill. Will they be a direct replacement for Eric Nicolson and Robert Thomson? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Ambitious appointments. Especially being able to persuade journalists to quit established jobs to take the role. Don't know the guys personally really other than an occasion passing conversation but hope it goes well! I do like in the past how they've given those cutting their teeth and opportunity to progress their skills (as long as they're paying them!!!) but I can see why they've gone down the experienced route now. Key point in the clubs history. Potential new owners and a chance to reinvent itself image wise to a certain extent. Going experienced gives them the best chance to get the right message out about the new potential ownership as well as trying to grow the brand marketing wise. Of course we know nothing about the future plans of ownership etc but if there is big news to come over the next 2-3 years beyond a new owner taking control it will be an exciting time to work in a role like that at the club. As for the pay wall interviews. I don't watch them very often when they're free so I definitely won't when they're paid for. Football player and manager interviews a cliche filled nonsense that means very little. They just say what they think you want to hear.

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 You’d be better off with Matty in the squad over half these chumps and give the media role to Ali Crawford or something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
