Only one Championship team came in for him, there's reasons for that but i'll keep it to myself That'll be because we've been watching him for a while, he was actively scouted by the club. I had a few conversations with a 'source' who would absolutely know a while back and it was common knowledge we were attending matches specifically to watch him. 1 hour ago, CotswoldRed said: Maybe Taylor told Rovers he only wanted to go to one club and wouldn't entertain any conversation with lesser clubs Pretty much, he saw what we could offer - that suited his personal circumstances (which clearly counts for a lot for him) In his head it was a done deal, the fact it's a deal involving us made it a drama for Rovers and they acted accordingly.

Pretending we don't is just folly. The reason he may not go out is maybe because he has a habit of getting pissed and starting on his Mrs, as was the case in Reflex many moons ago, happily the door staff showed him the error of his ways.

I think you are spot on. The reason no other Championship club bid for him was because no other club knew how low the release clause was, so talk of £10M bluffed them into thinking it was a market rate. Rovers sat tight hoping for the best and the window to close. City triggered the release clause at the last minute. The gas even called old allies / City enemies like Colin W and Hollowgas for help but it was too late for Matty to fit into their jigsaws. So now they are calling out rules on contract confidentiality to the FA but will need to be clear they did not disclose the same to Cardiff or QPR. I have no inside knowledge or contacts just seems obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the lower it was, the better for his signing on fee and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Serious question. Is there anything in the rules to say an agent can't disclose a clause in a contract , that he himself specifically put in ? It's put in to benefit the player, if the move benefits the player , what is the agent going to do..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at when I joined the forum over a month ago so not since Taylor has joined us, I've been reading it for ages and decided to join to debate but seems no point as you just get accused of being a rovers fan of you don't go with what everyone else is saying!

I watched it earlier today, and to be fair, thought it was quite the level headed honest repsonse you'd want your manager to give in this situation. Don't really think he sounded that bitter at all, just very pragmatic about the whole thing. Not sure how much of this they played on Radio Bristol, but there is an interesting bit where he gives a knowing David Brent look down the lens when talking about City being the "only championship club in for him" (5:25) I completely agree. Listened back to the whole episode and to be honest I didn't see much wrong with it. It was very much sided on the gas but it's a show called gas chat. I think a couple of people might have over reacted on here. The only thing I thought that was a bit naughty was when the journalist interviewing Taylor asked him about a police presence outside his house to which Adam baker quickly shot him down. All in all completely overhyped on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really can't figure why some of their fans are whinging about £300k though. Gas agreed to it when Matty signed his new contract. City took advantage. End of story. Stop whinging Gas, he could have gone for nothing in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 For one player, City still paid six times what the gas gave the Rugby Club for their entire ground! Not sure City are the ones ripping off anyone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
