ashton_fan Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 According to Channel 5 Neil Warnock phoned them and asked them to point out he'd only paid £1.5M for Tomlin not £3M as reported. Apart from the fact that we lost half our original fee doesn't this put Cardiff in breach of contract since the transfer fee was supposed to be undisclosed? Just shows how thin-skinned Warnock is since it put him in a poor light with Tomlin hardly featuring for Cardiff so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How this a theory, Colin regrets buying Lee like you say he has hardly featured much this season , plus the fact of has become public knowledge Tomlin has been charged. Just a thought, Colin is making it public knowledge he didn't spend such an amount on Tomlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 If we`d given him away it still would have been good business IMO. I suspect our Neil is discovering what most of us knew all along and realises we`ve pulled his pants down. He`s just trying to say now that it was only to his knees and not right down to his ankles.

iamalagerdrinker Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wouldn't care, I loved Tomlin but with all the news that has come out about him I think we're lucky to get that and we've moved on pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 In these days of undisclosed fees we'll never get to know the full story. However it was widely reported as being "up to £2.9m with add ons" at the time and seeing as Tomlin hasn't exactly got off to a stellar start this could be Warnock (who let's face it, is a serial liar anyway) making the truth suit his own agenda, in exactly the same way we have with Engvall..

Nearly all managers "cover their own tracks" especially in transfer matters. Colin and 'Arry are especially skilled at it. LJ is learning a trick or two by just having transfers involvement with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoxton casual Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes i loved Tomlin too but ee were lucky to get money for him. As for Warnock he seems to be doing pretty well without Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how thin-skinned Warnock is since it put him in a poor light with Tomlin hardly featuring for Cardiff so far. Just glad to have seen him go really (sounds a bit harsh). Bit of a shame he couldn't work out here but unfortunately some players just can't and won't change. He's too long in the tooth now to make any real difference in that department of his career. Might be worth Lee having a long thought and maybe dropping to L1 where he'll be idolised by a Peterborough type team and can just massage his ego a little for the last few years of his career as he's hardly the type to go well on into his 30's.

Is that actually true or are you just assuming we paid £3m in a lump sum when we signed him? Almost no transfers are just completely cash up front so I doubt ours was either. And NW pointed out it was £1.5m and 'the rest was add ons' which means the price may rise from £1.5m depending on Tomlin's performances from Cardiff. I don't think it can be said that we've 'lost half our fee' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect the commercials of the deal bringing him here were pretty similar to the one taking him to Cardiff. He gets a lot of flack but Ashton is clearly a canny negotiator.

42nite Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Seems like he's a good player to have in your squad when used properly. i.e. When he's not playing, the team does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 1 hour ago, Keyardiv said: For Tomlin it's unfortunate we've got off to a flyer and Warnock is therefore unlikely to change things much at the moment. £1.5m is hardly a fortune so no reason to think he'll walk straight into an in-form team. He offers something different though and I'm sure he'll get his chance for a run of games. Probably better to reserve judgement until then.

REDOXO Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 The two people in football I would trust the least. Colin and Lee Tomlin are made for each other and they know it. Cardiff great start. Tomlin has a goal if not mistaken and will get his chance. Our fee was up to 4m with add ons which I guess we got nowhere near. What we paid upfront and what we got upfront is the issue. Looks like a fat loss! If you pardon the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
