Leveller Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 44 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Completely reasonable response. However his contract ran out on June 30th, his month’s pay in lieu of notice ran out on July 31st and next week it will be September. He’s therefore had plenty of time to evaluate the market & we are within our rights to withdraw the offer (in reality we probably already had) & move on. Sure, but it would also be completely reasonable if he came back now and accepted the offer. But I’m sure he will now move on and better our reduced offer.

But I’m sure he will now move on and better our reduced offer. The offer made was likely made on the proviso that he signed before pre-season started so that he could be up to speed. For, every day that passed after pre-season started would have theoretically reduced the offer on the table. Bit of a shame in some respects, not in others.

So is it a case of that compensation reduces/is removed if he doesn’t get a club for x period? @Davefevs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More understandable in Kalas case, being older, where money is more important than career choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Interesting one. Schalke are crap at the moment, but presumably still paying well. Very short Ryanair flight to Koln from Bristol too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Good move, although in Bundesliga 2, they are a massive club, just like SV Hamburg, also inexplicably in the second tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 That is a decent move for him. If he stays free of injury he could get subject to how Schalke are run Bundesliga football too this time next year. Good luck Tomas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
