If its £3.5mill with a decent sell on % and add ons, then decent bit of business from the club if it covers losses/gets reinvested.

I don't know if we have to pay a tribunal fee to Herne Bay or have we already paid that when we signed him?

I am with others still getting over terry Gibson and to get Alan Brazil as part of the deal.

losing Dublin and Boateng hurt at the time as they are two of the best players I have seen play for us

He was probably non contract so no money would have been due

Also, he joined Jamie Vardy academy, so I imagine that doesn't count? I know it's if a club offers a contract equal or better, you have to pay tribunal.

Stevenson wasn't even playing regularly for us at the time. Was an amazing piece of business that one.

Didn't stop the usual frothers from moaning though, most of them didn't even realise he wasn't playing.

I don't get this at all. Do you not think 22 year old Brandon Mason would be a saleable asset? He's not a 30 year old, he's young himself. Robin's has picked who he thinks is the better player.

I think all players are saleable assets, just think McCallum fits the development model better

It was always going to happen.

He has the same agent as Julian Grey so be prepared for another upset.

The V9 academy is just a shop window. He would still have been on the books of Herne Bay. Would be nice for them to get a little slice of it, as much as we need it money from transfers cascading down the football pyramid is important.

Nope, he wasn't on a contract so I don't think they get anything.

If non contract they won’t have got anything we could send them a Bosma if they want him though

I've just been boring the office with my complaining non stop for most of this morning.

I can't really blame any of the parties but it just a shame we can't hold onto these players or get that extra few million. IF we get promoted, his price would double overnight. Otherwise we would get the same in the summer.

He doesn't owe Coventry anything, he's not local and has a chance to multiply his wages.

He's probably checked out, so f*ck him (and seriously fuck SISU), couldn't care less about the loaning him til the summer.

That's the issue when people like that are given a voice, other people listen and believe their nonsense all of the time.

Fuck him? A 19 year old kid who has probably set himself up for life and owes you the sum of fuck all.

Ok, I may have been getting slightly carried away. I believe that it is highly likely that we would get a bigger transfer fee in the summer if we were a newly promoted team.

Not sure what it has to do with Sisu. It's just a lazy argument.

Plus we’ve got a load of cash!!! Yes!!! Come on!!!

Its £3 million for a player who cost us nothing from non-league 18 months ago. This is the model we operate. We need money to cover shortfalls from being at Birmingham and to further improve the squad in the summer, whichever league we are in. It's also a position where we have Brandon Mason who would get into pretty much every other team in the league and another young prospect in Joe Newton who is coming through. We've also not lost him until the end of the season and got what is a record fee for a league 1 left back. Yes, its possible he could've been worth more at the end of the season but equally he could have been worth less.

Did you even read my post apart from the last sentence? Everything you've said, I put in my post.

"He doesn't owe Coventry anything" - check
"Multiplied his wages" - check

Transfers are handled by Robins, the recruitment team and the management. It's their call. Wasn't necessarily aimed at you but all the bitching about Sisu on Twitter every time we sell a player is ridiculous.

Peterborough have lost Marcus Maddison
Oxford have lost Baptiste & Fosu
Etc
Etc

Every team at this level has to operate this way. It's not always because they want to but players and agents hold a lot of power.

What? Are you his dad? I'm sure he'll get over it, don't get too upset.

Hopefully I'm proved wrong. Let's see if his performances keep to the high level now he has got his move.

When he left wrote to the chairman(Iain Jamieson )and explained my feeling because at the time I thought we were at a crssroads with him we could move from being a struggling club to a successful one. .Fair play got a reply saying we would be without him it never happen though.
