Quality post....for that re-arrange nail,head,bang,hit,the,on...the!!!
I'd hope that the powers that be realize that.... if these young and hungry lads carry on performing, we're gonna have a main stand full of scouts and potential suitors before long......
As Smobile has said.....personally I'd give it to the end of October and start throwing new "longer term" contracts with improved conditions in front of the star performers.
And "
IF " we do end up selling one of the better prospects, let's hope somebody has a bit more "nouse" when it comes to negotiating a deal for one of these lads.
For that....... read the terms of the Bobby Grant deal.....For me...he went to the wrong club ( I feel if we'd have held on a little longer...he'd have gone to a much bigger club for better money,terms and conditions) and we got well and truly stitched up on that one.....
I mean "X amount if Scunthorpe get promoted" and "X% of whatever profit Scunthorpe make on the original deal"....Unless Coleman has paid a club record Dale fee for Grant, then I don't expect this deal to be putting any more funds into the coffers.
As the Grant to 'Dale transfer goes...being another "undisclosed" I suppose we'll never know if we actually made anything further.
I know we'll always be a "selling club" and until gates improve dramatically ...finances probably dictate we sell to balance books....but to me there's a difference between "balancing books" and getting stitched up as far as fees received for our better players are concerned.
