Looks like we really tried hard to get him now. Shame but least we got him in what might end up being bargain price actually
Also revealed we paid £5million but got a £750,000 loan fee - so cost £4.25million in total.
Bargain and a great bit of business.

Details emerge of Coventry City fee paid for Ephron Mason-Clark
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as the exact details of Ephron Mason-Clark's deal are revealed
The podcast is good too. The start of it goes into detail around the deal too. It does seem like we’ve negotiated a decent deal for the player.
I’m hoping that ‘option’ is written down on paper somewhere!

Very entertaining but striking these kinds of deals after six beers and a transatlantic flight (first class!!) with no WiFi doesn’t exactly scream top negotiator to me.
What’s Doug doing in the Antarctic, that’s what I wanna know?
Love how he needs seven beers to be around his wife too
He's building an underground lair. I'm starting to think we might be owned by Hank Scorpio.
Barnet got a pretty hefty sell on by the sounds of it which will also have driven the price up.
Nice goal today Cal, when you get home there’ll be an extra storey on your house.
‘Finish in the play offs Mark’
‘Yes Mr Scorpion. I will do that sir.’
‘Don’t call me Mr Scorpion, it’s Big Doug but don’t call me that either.’
Doug should have tried the old 'buy one, get one half price' deal at those prices hahahahAlso revealed we paid £5million but got a £750,000 loan fee - so cost £4.25million in total.

Is posh chairman laughing all the way to the bank? A 4mill player in this country that I’ve never heard of
seems a bit steep

They do have a reputation of producing & digging out good top players, I’d say fees around division one and championship of about £4million about right for the best let’s hope EMC proves he is, transfers are always a risk,Is posh chairman laughing all the way to the bank?

As for Darragh MacAnthony he’s an experienced and canny negotiator re. transfers got to give him credit for that.
I’m at the point now where I trust the judgment of Austin/Viveash/Robins. If they tell Doug to go and get someone they must have seen something - good enough for me.
Had you honestly never heard of him ?Is posh chairman laughing all the way to the bank? A 4mill player in this country that I’ve never heard of
Of all the players Robins has signed, most of the ones I had heard of prior to signing were flops...Is posh chairman laughing all the way to the bank? A 4mill player in this country that I’ve never heard of
I've never heard of him either.

With respect, how much football do you watch outside the Prem and CCFC? I hadn’t heard of him and that’s because my answer to the above question is no.
I did recognise the highlights from the Barnet v Sheffield U years ago when he won a penalty against them.

and you hadn't heard of Vik or Hamer. Probably doesn't mean much. Just a thought!
We paid around £4 million for Kitching so seems the going rate for good division 1 players unless the deal for Kitching set the benchmark that others now expect. Either way, the incoming players sounds good for what we need and DK was prepared to splash the cash.
