    I imagine the 500k equates to something like the remainder of his contract, which seems like a fair representation of value. The thing that people absolutely have to acknowledge, is that clauses are now part of modern day contracts, and will often be a factor in whether players or managers join a Club. If Barnsley had said 'we're insisting on a 2m compensation clause' it's quite possible he wouldn't have joined us in the first place. If people want us to insist on prohibitive clauses, they should realise it will limit who we can attract.

    When did anyone, player or manager, ever join a club and say "I reckon I'm only here for a season. If I do well I'll be able to jump ship, if I do badly I'll be kicked out quicker than you can say P45's in the post"?

    He's got to say he's here for the 'project', to take the long view.

    I think anyone left feeling gloomy about this twitter rumour should cheer themselves up by laying in a bath of beans with a beard of bees and a bowl of boiling bovril.

    I appreciate that contractual obligations meant that the club probably can't say too much about Long-Haul's imminent departure, but the complete media silence on it is genuinely unforgivable. Given all the lengths they went to last season to improve fan engagement and how the fans stepped up when needed, it's utterly bizarre they think it's okay to treat us like this.

    Just confirm/deny the interest, ffs.

    Whatever happens, you can bet your house on us not hearing it from BFC first...
