Does make you wonder a little bit given he scores for fun and no one else has taken a punt..that being said I reckon he will do well with us. That's the beauty of him only being £300k. If everything goes wrong, we still win by taking their best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That of course, if true, would suggest we were aware of there being a release clause! Because it was in the public domain. If that is true, we should be the one's asking for them to be investigated!

redcityman Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sounds to me like the gas could of had the money a day or two before transfer deadline finished, enough time to hopefully secure the services of replacement, but decided they didnt want the opportunity to spend the money! Like others have said about time gashead start looking closer to home for answers as to why the transfer went through so late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 If the contents of a players contract are deemed sacrosanct by the football league how come everyone and their auntie seems to know how much someone is getting paid when they sign a new one? Presume the noxious gas have complained and the FL simply have to respond to that complaint. Hopefully their possible attempts to block the deal will come to light and they get fined....about £300,000.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson and the agent are friends - common knowledge, same as Johnson and Danny Coles, Johnson and Bradley Orr who are now agents. Doesn't mean he can't deal with them. Now, if the agent leaked the release details to the press and City picked up on it and tried their luck - who is to blame ? The details have been in the public domain since last year. Even the BBC mentioned it. It was Wycombes fault you were relegated out of the football league, its Sainsburys fault that your board couldn't write a water tight contract, and now its someone else's fault that your top scorer for three seasons has been snapped up for a fraction of his worth. Bunch of tinpot arseholes. Yep, all of this although I'd add 'crybaby fuckwits' as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinmans Love Child Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Embarrassing from Rovers, Tuesday they were all saying we must have paid more than £300k as that wasn't a release clause at all, now we definitely paid them £300k and only because we were tipped off! On Gaschat they have provided evidence themselves that it was common knowledge of the release cause and national newspapers have also quoted this figure, so not sure how anyone can accuse City of anything underhand and keep a straight face!

I know what is outlined below is not a very common skillset around their club but what essentially has been proved has been: 1) City staff/scouts/LJ/MA/SL can read - (and use google) 2) City staff/scouts/LJ/MA/SL have a basic grasp of english language comprehension - in particular around the words "release" and "clause" 3) City staff/scouts/LJ/MA/SL have a basic grasp of mathematics - in particular knowing about minimum prices and how £300k = £300K and not more This whole saga gets better and better - I would suggest the perfect ending would be Matt Taylor banging a few in on debut this Staurday MT scoring a good few more through the rest of the season Rovers trying another "watertight" legal fight - City and MT countersuing and rovers pissing the money they did get up the wall in legal fees and fines.

Which makes is soooooo more painful for the blue few As an aside, why does every player called Matthew have to be referred to as Matty when playing for a Bristol club? Sounds a bit limp wristed to me. Agreed, and those who insist on referring to our on loan right back as Adam Mattys really piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think it was common knowledge even I knew his release clause was 300K and that,s saying something.
