Dion

Can't complain if the fee was anything like the £320k reported in a Bolton paper.

Dion probably got a much better deal too, good luck to him, and so much for 'bad advice'.

Why would Bolton pay 320k for a player they could have got for nothing by getting him to sign a pre-contract now and then doing a loan deal till the end of the season ?

The only explanation to me is that there were other clubs willing to pay close to the same figure which strengthened Stanleys hand to get a cash deal done now.

You can't sign a pre-contract now as it is another English club, and it benefits them to do the deal now rather at risk of relegation.

The fee would reflect the fact there is only 6 months left, and yes it is likely other clubs would pay similar for a scarce resource.
 
That's true but I can't think of any other trade were if you don't " work " your sacked.

I think I get what you're saying but you've used a double negative.
He turned up he trained.
Can't sack anyone for that.
If we had sacked him no fee.
Crap situation and maybe the truth will out at some point.
Outcome is the best the club could hope for.

Can I just ask as well ....... has anyone seen Jackson play in the last 12 months ?
Injury prone ?
If he's not good enough for Ipswich why is he good enough for us ?
Where's the 4k wages a week coming from ?
Remember he's another sulker ...... Ipswich sent him to train with the under 23's last season. Sound familiar ?
 
lets be honest, he has too apologise they have just signed him, gave him a big rise.what else could he do? they are welcome to the bum. funny though to me how Bolton found out about this PDQ,

The trouble is, I know I made such comments when I was in my teens, and I'm pretty sure if you were a boy growing up anywhere like Accy in the 50s, 60s or 70s, maybe even much later, you did too. But luckily social media didn't exist, so we just made the comments and they vanished in the wind.

So I'm always a bit reluctant to condemn anyone for stuff they said (or posted) in their youth, provided they now genuinely appreciate how hurtful those words could be. People have to be allowed to grow up and they mostly do, as I hope I did ..... some take longer than others .....
 
actually i,d never appologise for something i did as a kid or a teenager. possibly i,d not like reading posts that were not my views now but i,d never be offended about them unless it was personally directed at me and were wrong. all this expectation of youngsters having old heads on their shoulders will never happen but if they follow a certain line can say or have said anything they wish. all the easily offended brigade just do not read things in the first place. i do not read anything lefty, woke stuff to wind me up.
