BobBobSuperBob Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Meanwhile the disillusioned squatters have now managed to get the cost of the transfer to us up to a cool £million !!! The gift that keeps giving !!! 2 hours ago nottsgasheadal said: 2 hours ago nobbygas said: I believe that was the amount stated for the Sell Out Clause...but that was just the purchase price. I think they also had to 'buy out' his contract....say 4k a week for another 18 months. Plus, the low purchase price meant that the snakes agent could demand a larger signing-on fee, let's say 500k. This would bring the total cost of the signing to around the 1m mark, plus the cost of his 2.5 year contract with the sh1t. It is just my opinion of course, and not based on any facts. I reckon the large signing-on fee was also the reason other Championship clubs were not interested. Someone else has mentioned this 'buying out his contract' thing. I've never heard of this with transfers before. The only time I've heard of it is when managers move clubs and the new club has to pay compensation for the remainder of his previous contract. Who knows what clauses are inserted into a contract ! While the snakes agent may have insisted on the release clause, Rovers may have insisted on the contract buy-out clause.

daored Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Unfortunately Gloucester Rd will be closed following their next home game when they carry Wally down the road on their shoulders for selling their top striker to their biggest rivals for 300K (or whatever figure they believe it to be).

We've just completed a £45m stadium redevelopment and our owner continues to back us financially in the transfer market. Whereas Rovers.... It's a laughable suggestion at the best of times, but this week?! Glorious. Oh and I also enjoyed "positive encouraging atmosphere". As has been discussed on here before by people like myself who have lived close to the Mem....they really aren't as loud as they believe they are, quite the opposite. As for being '******* scared' seriously? It wasn't that long ago that we were bottom of L1 below clubs like Stevenage, Shrewsbury and Carlisle. Chances are they will, at some stage in the future, find themselves above us in the league, when it happens let's see if they can stay above us for 16+ years...I doubt it. Form is temporary... I think poor old 'Socrates' has had a tough week by the looks of it. Poor lamb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't ask how there has been so much investment and we're still flirting with Div 3? I suppose we are above the gas so who cares? Small time mentality, no wonder this club goes nowhere. At least next year we might get another trip to Wembley to win another paint pot. The acceptance of mediocrity along with judging ourselves against an ex non league team with a tent as a a stand astounds me. you keep the faith though.

Try the gas forum, they really will welcome you. If you or your mate were to offer something worth debating instead of just quoting shite, then maybe it would be worth it. But you don't, just negative crap with no perspective. Seriously is that the best you've got? **** off and support the gas, really? Come on you can do better, prove why it's not that way. Not allowed to question? Great Then we can all bend over and take league one football up the old rusty sheriff badge. You show a distinct lack of Bollox Incidentally. You're not your.

Our squad isn't actually that big despite all the signings, which just shows what a mess it was before LJ took over. 3. Our 'ones for the future' may want out if they see us back in the 3rd. Fortunately these things called contracts exist, which have our "ones for the future" tied down for a few years 4. If we get shot of Johnson we have to pay him still and who's going to come in? 5. What confidence do you have we'll improve? We've spent shitloads anyway The fact I've been going to the games and the vast majority haven't been bad performances. 6. Grounds pretty pointless with crowds of 12k. Bottom of League 1 under SO'D we were getting 12-13k. With our squad we would be at the top of the division, last time that happened most games were sold out (albeit with a limited capacity). Even so it's a pointless argument as we won't be going down. 7. If we drop who's not to say the rugby will take priority. Well they recently got promoted to their top flight while we fought off relegation, they didn't become top priority then and they never have been at any point.
