with Scnuthorpe, Hayes like Nardy was signed on a free. The tribunal ruled in Scunny's favour saying Scunny had developed him therefore commanding a fee & possible future add-ons. Surely we could do this with Nards should he decide to move to pastures new. I sure he has featured for our Academy side at some point.
We would have to offer Hayes a new contract As long as we offer Hayes a new deal, we can command a fee for him should he decide to turn ti down and move elsewhere. That's my understanding. If we don't offer him a new deal, he just becomes a free agent.
The deal has to be on the same, or better terms I.e we can't just offer him a hundred quid a week and then demand a fee if he turns it down..
so it could backfire and he would sign it even if we have no intention of playing him, in theory like
