formerly known as ivan Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 In what would have otherwise been the usual underwhelming fixtures vs Luton Town this season, with their statement on the transfer and their fans reaction to it at least there will be a bit of spice to the games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-signing-kal-naismith-7139147 James Piercy has quoted what Nigel said recently: Luton is a really good story. Their problem, of course, is: if they don’t go up this year, can they keep their players? [audibly guffaws] The likelihood, with the players out of contract is no, because a lot of those players will try and cash in, and their agents will cash in on their clients having a good season. Something that seems to have taken their fans by surprise. Not too bright then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'd presume the "etiquette" is for him/his agent to tell Luton that he's rejecting the offer because he's signing for us, Luton put something out to that effect without naming us, then we announce he's signed.

What is it they don't understand about a player being out of contract for God's sake?! It seems likely for instance that Cundy is talking to other clubs right now, which is fine, he is free to do so. Klose may be doing the same, no problem. But again for the benefit of any Luton fans visiting : HE WAS OUT OF ******* CONTRACT!

Fuber Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) How are some of their fans stupid enough to not realise that its the player (namely their agent) who should inform them of the rejection of their offer one acceptance of another? 14 minutes ago, 1960maaan said: I've seen some right belters on Twitter today, but dear God this guy is special. Not just him as an individual - there are some of their fans who don't seem to realise that there is major pulling power in this division. Others can't seem to compute that simply being 'well-run' means politely **** all at this level. Edited May 28, 2022 by Fuber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is etiquette for both teams to agree to announce the in / out at the same time. I would be surprised if City just went ahead with it. Gould doesn’t strike me as the type, and in fairness, even the toss-pot Ashton did transfers properly. I wonder if we will respond. Perhaps someone at Luton knocked off early yesterday!

CiderJar Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Luton fans are beginning to convince themselves that they are better off without him. However just last week this was the kind of esteem that was more typical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 One thing to bear in mind is that under end of contract rules (between English FA clubs), contract talks with another club can be initiated by the player once he enters the final month of his contract, i.e. 1st June onwards. Until that point, he must get permission from his club (Luton in this case). Luton aren’t claiming City tapped him up, just that City or Naismith either didn’t tell them they were signing him, or agreed the announcement timing. Its something in nothing really, and of course is only one sides view of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's often publicly reported that it's happening and nobody bats an eyelid. When was the last time a club was sanctioned for tapping up for instance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
