James Mccarthy - #15M Gbp - Hamilton Challenge For Europe Next Season?

[madjockmcferson]

So, assuming Hamilton have a sell on clause does this make them favorites to finish 2nd next year? Given the lack of money in the SPHell could they be challengers? it wouldn't take much given the absolute shite that is in the league at present.

How much do they stand to gain? I would have thought they're still paying for their new 'stadium' and that any proceeds would go towards clearing that debt.

20% according to this. http://www.cheshire-today.co.uk/20539/everton-agree-fee-for-wigans-james-mccarthy/

 

So £3 million if it's £15M fee, but appears to be reported more as £12.5M.

So £2.5 million anyway.

[tup]

Fair play to them, they deserve it.

 

Weegie cunts that they are.

Haha.

 

No.

who gives a fuck. its fucking hamilton.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Hopefully they dont invest it until next season and win the league ahead of the rangers!!

[Pash]

Nit

[Robbie Winters]

Was it McCarthy or McArthur who stayed at Hamilton to better himself for one more year before jumping down to England and at the same time doing hamilton a big favour ?

Just shows that patience is a virtue if it was McCarthy and you don't need to leave Scotland straight away.

 

Scottish clubs are investing more into youth and as a short term business it makes sense.

Stop signing stupid big, injury prone, shot shy boys from the lower end of guff football and totally work on developing your own.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

It was McArthur who stayed another year.

 

Annoyed by how well McCarthy has come on. Any time he speaks it enrages me. There is nothing Irish about him.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Yes

A rare decent post from you.

[boboisared]

Great news for Hamilton. Chuffed to see that.

[madjockmcferson]

Clearly, I don't give a duck about Hamilton. People in Hamilton don't give a fuck about Hamilton. I suspect it'll go towards their youth development and they won't waste it......if it was us I suspect we would waste it.

 

Anyhows, I think this gives them a chance to establish themselves in the SPHell, which is significant for them.

[RTYD]

I think they get £1M. Decent though.

Aye, it should give them the chance to have a quack at winning the SPFL.

[ericblack4boss]

well lets hope that we had the foresight to insist on a sell on clause for Fraser, Fyvie and Grimmer.

[DandyDon KD]

Haha, Hamilton challenging for Europe! Were you drunk when you wrote this?!

[caledonia]

We should have a sell on clause for Zola

we could potentially make 75p

Great play on words, Wilde would be proud

Settle down! We'd be in dreamland if that happened!

Unlikely, given they left for nominal development compensation at the end of their contracts, rather than transfered for a profit with conditions.

[madjockmcferson]

I don't think Hamilton need to spend big to get into Europe, given how shite everyone else is. A little money can go a long way in the SPHell, just look at ICT and Ross County. If St J can get in then no reason Hamilton can't.

[RUL]

Hamilton really pocketing £2.5M? Brilliant for them.

[muttonhumper]

Ryan Fraser was transferred for a fee, and we did negotiate a sell on clause with Bournemouth.

 

This was a main factor in letting him go at the time and not waiting until his contract was up >>> having to go down the compensation route.

Yip. Same with Grimmer and Fyvie. They were sold around 6 months before their deals were up. Unlike Maguire and Aluko.

[dave_min]

What kind of sell-on fee have we got with Rory Fallon?

[boboisared]

Unlikely, given they left for nominal development compensation at the end of their contracts, rather than transfered for a profit with conditions.

Not one was left at the end of their contract Kelt.

 

Even then there is still scope for negotiation rather than paying the full compensation required.

AFC's brand of negotiation involves immediately accepting the first offer. No questions asked. Bite their hands off.

I'm almost certain it was well documented at the time that we had negotiated sell on clauses.

 

Happy to be proven wrong though.
