I understand the principle of the one off development fee or going for a sell on fee instead but I seem to recall a story a few years back about an a mature team from Aberdeenshire getting something like &100k for a player who they had as a kid who had been picked up by a pro club who in turn sold him on to an English club before they then sold him on again for big money and this was where the £100k came from. In short this makes me think that potentially we get some cash - all be it small amounts - every time the player is transferred.

I’m assuming that’s a development fee. Since he under 23 and we have offered him a contract extension, are we entitled to any further sell on fees at a later date or is it the £400k and that’s it?

Every year teams like us, with a limited budget, have to wait while players decide what offer to accept or hold out in hope of a better offer elsewhere. Some of these players are of a better quality but others just think they are. As frustrating it is for us, it must be worse for the manager & staff trying to get the deal’s done. Wether the guys already signed are good enough as starter’s remains to be seen but - while we try to persuade others to join us - I think it’s better to have them rather than scrambling around at the last minute picking from the leftovers.

It’s a night I won’t forget.

True but apparently talking shite on a forum does.

Agree, SOD was my MotM last night. The lack of substitutes after 60 minutes was worrying as we could all see that Livingston were getting on top and something needed changing - that frightens me for next season.

With that logic you will want rid of KVV as well then ‘cause at times he also gives that impression

You’re a sick and twisted person

You have read some of his jokes, haven’t you?

I’m not feeling it for anyone today, no one stood out and more than a few of them had mediocre to poor performances. Will think on it.

KVV will end up at Aberdeen no doubt

I think he’s worth signing if possible. The guys still learning and I think he will become a great asset to whoever signs him. If we don’t get him I think we run the risk that he ends up at one of our competitors and give us a torrid time.

Two chances to vote for Casey and Blaney not included - tut, tut weeyin

Two cheeks of the same arse.

Both of them were in the youth teams before he was let go when he was about 15 or 16 I think.

Watching the Barnsley Shrewsbury game bit of ex Motherwell interest - Devante Cole scored, Nicky Cadden also scored, got sent off and then MoTM. Then right at the end Ryan Bowman who had got booked then got sent off for throwing a player to the ground. 🤣

Not necessarily, if Hibs and Livi pick up no points from their next two games then a win and a draw would be enough as our GD would be better than Hibs. Alternatively we could lose the next two games, United and RC could win theirs and we could be right back in it, half full / half empty - take your pick folks.

Calm down James, these a good lad.

Great result, two great free kicks and a penalty that just squeezed in. Everyone played well, thought Spittal was class until he went off but maybe Furlong for MotM. - definitely a red for Marshal.

To be fair, what I’ve seen of Liam this season id think twice about picking him.

Was the rumour last summer not that they knocked back £9m from West Ham and were asking £11m? I’m sure a Celtic fan at work said this and I then read it somewhere

That’s the last thing we need - it’s normally followed by a bad run of results.

Sorry guys Casey kept us in the game before sending off then us actually starting to play.

Yes
