surely if they haven't paid us, we could match the bid and take him back for nothing if they still haven't given us the money? We send them 2 million for the fee and they send it straight back plus the other bits they owe.
"The 27-year-old, who joined Latics last summer from Barnsley for £2.5million..." I thought it was more than that?
Will be his 11th club at the age of 27, what an absolute journeyman. Loves a signing on fee rather than long term loyalty to one club. We won't make anything from him with him being sold at quite a loss if we did indeed get three million.
It’s always less than we get told. The transfer fee gets inflated by signing fees, agents’ fees, add ins etc, in order to appease the fans. In reality, the club see a lot less, and rarely ever in one lump sum.
It was one for speculation as it was undisclosed. Think some were suggesting it was over £4m, but i thought most reports were around £2.5m to £3m. Its going to be a fire sale so Wigans administrators have to bring in money to guarantee survival ahead of finding a buyer.
I'd got £4million, or over £4million, in my head, but there are always all sorts of fees reported and I guess I was trying to lessen my feeling that we'd been well and truly ripped off.
Even if we have it would be a percentage of profit, not all the fee, so it makes no difference whether we have or not if they sell for less than they paid.
Hopefully this is the start of a devastating collapse for Wigan, and they'll be kicking off in League Two in August 2021.
He loves a signing fee dose old Kieffer the way he's going he will have had more clubs than Tiger Woods
I know that is the way it is normally done but I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to be. The article where we reported his sale didn't say anything about us retaining an interest however, just that we got a 'substanstial fee'.
