we8gas Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 On the Yeovil forum, apparently we paid them £600k compensation for GJ. Thats a bit steep aint it? Not that I'm moaning of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpaul Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Would've thought that the compensation figure should be, and will be, kept quiet. If it is the figure you suggest, then other clubs may think of City as being a club with money, and therefore inflate any players price during the January transfer window.

stick Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Steve L said in the press that city had paid yeovil the price of a major signing for this level.On that basis, and based on our major summer signings, it was a free !!!!

milo1111 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 600k, thats is the funniest thing ive heard for ages. i'd be suprised if it was any more than a third of that. a major signing at this level is 200k. maybe less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Somewhere in the range of 100-200k would be my guess. 600 it certainly ain't.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Whatever the cost, it demonstrates the damage done to the club over the last 16 months. Steve L obviously realised the mistake with Tinnion and that he couldn't afford to repeat that error. The board decided on the right man and had to bite the bullet as to the price they would have to pay.Yesterday's performance and result clearly domonstrates the lift Johnson's appointment must have had on the players, and the debilitating effect that Tinnion's management must have been having pon those same players for some time now. You have to wonder where we would have been if someone like Johnson had taken over from Danny W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE23Red Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 On the Yeovil forum, apparently we paid them £600k compensation for GJ. Thats a bit steep aint it? Not that I'm moaning of course The Yeovil Chairman on Twentyman said something about clauses relating to Johnson taking us to the Premiership, so you can guess that the compensation rises as he/we hit certain milestones. To pay the kind of figures quoted we will probably have to be somewhere at the top of the Championship/Premiership and if so it will be money well spent.

Great bloke though to phone in and be as positive and genuine in his praise and wishes that Gary Johnson takes us to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
