Just to clarify, it is clearly financially motivated due to this fact... <snip>
Say for a moment Maddison did ask to leave, Mowbray isn't going to come out and slate him when he has to work with him for the the rest of the season. It would be bad management.
Just like all the ones that gave Macca a hard time on here and those that booed him on Saturday.Well said Nick - I would be ashamed of any Coventry City Supporter that gives him a hard time!
I wonder if Norwich were to get relegated it would affect the transfer money ? Nothing been mentioned about that is there ?No way. Even if Norwich get relegated, they will have parachute payments that make them considerably richer than us and they will be among the favourites to go back up. In addition, whether we get promoted or not is very much uncertain.
And none of us are 'financially motivated' right?
As is TM saying he didn't want him to leave...then probably muttering under his breath...unless we can get what I think his current worth is in the bank with a promise of more if sold on.Asking to leave and wanting to go is a bit different.
If we are in the same league as Norwich next year that is where the similarities will end.Think they will stay up, but if they don't. Norwich will more likely kick off next season as favourites for promotion ,probably still got parachute payments inCouldn't wait to get out of here at the first available transfer window though. Given the fact that there is a possibility that Norwich and CCFC could be in the same league next year this just doesn't make sense. This is where he is caught in a lie - he should have waited until the end of the year to make sure it is a premier league club he is moving to.
I'm not. I could earn 10k or more a year extra easily elsewhere. But I enjoy my job where I work and don't want to have to travel more than 10 minutes to work. There is more to life than money.
Of course he's not going to slate him but the quote from TM is "James never ever asked to leave this football club"
Seems pretty to the point to me. I know who I'm believing out of Mowbray, Maddision and someone employed by SISU.

Does the rule still apply that a player gets a percentage of the transfer fee if he doesn't formally ask to leave?
That could be where cost of living easily eats up that £10,000
Would you move if you were offered £10,000 a week more?
Good post.What if I offered you 10k more a week to work elsewhere? And if your current job (and that offer) could disappear in an instant. (In football you're only one bad tackle, one serious injury from being finished.). Are you sure you wouldn't be a least a tiny bit financially motivated?
I see what you're saying Astute, but the truth as I see it is that it's a little unfair to expect players to turn down these opportunities. There is more to life than money, and I'm not in a dissimilar position to you myself. But if someone offered me the kind of money that JM is likely to have been offered, and I was a young, professional footballer, then I would have gone too.
Loyalty, for fans, is a one-way street imho. When a player is doing well, he's cheered to the rafters and a 'Judas' if he leaves. When a player is doing badly, he's a deadweight and a drain on the club and should be got rid of by any means necessary. 'Twas ever thus.
I really think Norwich will go down so just a bit miffed why he chose to go there.
They have Villa away on Saturday so massive game for them.After tonight if Newcastle win their game in hand Norwich are in the bottom three.
Overrated fool. I for one do not wish you all the best. Judas
People on Twitter threatening him and RCC. Clearly WUMs rather than serious but what's the point?
Just like all the ones that gave Macca a hard time on here and those that booed him on Saturday.
Wankers the lot of them

Yes I believe it could do.I wonder if Norwich were to get relegated it would affect the transfer money ? Nothing been mentioned about that is there ?
Yes I believe it could do.
I hear that there are all sorts of "bolt-ons" that could affect the fee. Besides a initial ammount up front....... If Norwich stay up its 1m more. If we get promoted then it's 1m more. If he scores 10 goals next season its 1m more and the same if he ever plays for England at senior level. This could be why the fee has been described as undisclosed. The information has come to me second hand but the source is from within the club.
I can't say that's it's factual but it makes sense, especially as any forthcoming additional money may get hidden from view......or am I just being cynical.
No way. Even if Norwich get relegated, they will have parachute payments that make them considerably richer than us and they will be among the favourites to go back up. In addition, whether we get promoted or not is very much uncertain.
There's the possibility that we're in the same league as Chelsea next year. I'd still have went to them.All I am saying is that if we do somehow manage to get promoted then our star players next year are going to have to be earning substantially more than they did this year. I would estimate that it is not beyond the realms of possibility that our best player in the Championship could be earning £500,000 a year. A competitive playing budget next year would be in the region of 8m+. I suspect Maddison would have been happy to stay with us in the Championship at much less than 10kpw.
Selling him at this stage of the season shows a complete lack of ambition given that there is the _possibility_ that we are in the same league as Norwich next year. If we don't go up we can still sell him at the end of the year, and we could still push for the loan back option. Yeah he could get injured, but given there has been a bid of Xm on the table, the insurance payout covers that slim possibility.
I am as aware of the next person that we are, and always will be a selling club. But for once we are told that the club is self sufficient... and then this happens. Like I say it shows a complete lack of ambition and ultimately that is what TM will also see.
Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but as Madders has signed for Norwich, do you think we are still paying him what we were prior to the transfer and Norwich pay the difference or is it possible that City have got him for the remainder of the season at a lower wage or possibly nothing? just thinking if this deal may have freed up some money for TM, other than the transfer fee?? just a thought!
