Speculation Futacs

[Lako42]

''Although he became a free agent, City will have to pay Pompey compensation as, under Football League rule 56.5, section six, any player under the age of 24 that has been offered a new contract but chooses to move to a new club, that club must pay a fee''


Is this not total bollocks?

According to Jeff in the 2012 rumours bollocks thread, if Pompey offered him a like for like deal then we'd have to pay up, but apparently Pompey offered him reduced terms so no compo is payable.

There's no mention in the regulations of the offered contract having to be 'equivalent or better'. It's something that will need to be considered by the two clubs involved and ultimately by the Professional Football Compensation Committee.

Football League rule 56.5 of Section 6 states :“A Club will only be entitled to seek a Compensation Fee for the loss of a Non-Contract Player’s Registration who is an Under 24 Player if such Club has made the Player a written offer of terms to become a Contract Player prior to the expiration of the Registration or for other reasons satisfactory to the Board. The amount of such Compensation Fee shall be agreed between the two Clubs concerned or in default of such agreement should be determined by the Professional Football Compensation Committee on the application of either of such Clubs.”

Reporting a done deal, according to most Leicester City groups on Facebook.

fox58, that quote refers to non-contract players. That's not relevant to this situation. Futacs is a contract player who is now out of contract.

The bit I referred to in the other thread is this, from the FA's website:

3. If the former club does not offer the player a contract, no training compensation is payable
unless the former club can justify that it is entitled to such compensation. The former club
must offer the player a contract in writing via registered post at least 60 days before the
expiry of his current contract. Such an offer shall furthermore be at least of an equivalent
value to the current contract. This provision is without prejudice to the right to training
compensation of the player’s previous club(s).

Sorry, I can't tell - is this a serious comment?

Portsmouth did not 'train' the player in the period between his 12th and 21st birthdays. He's been there for less than a year.

There's no mention in the regulations of the offered contract having to be 'equivalent or better'.

This is from the Football League website:

64.3 Subject to the provisions of this Regulation 64, any Club which makes an offer in accordance with Regulation 64.2 of re-engagement to a Contract Player who is an Under 24 Player and which is in the opinion of the Board not less favourable than the Player's current contractual terms, shall be entitled to a Compensation Fee in respect of the loss of the Player's registration, should the Player sign for another Club. In order to comply with this Regulation, the annual value of the terms offered must be at least equivalent to the most favourable year's terms in the Player's previous contract. The terms offered to Players for re-engagements must be as favourable overall except that a signing-on fee included in the previous contract and stated to be a once only payment need not be repeated. Copies of all offers of re-engagement made to Contract Players must be sent to the Secretary.

 

[Graz]

Fourth Official says he's signed a 3 year deal, subject to international clearance.

 

[Longcliffe]

I thought he looked good last season.

 

[FoxCovert]

Quite happy with this. Could be good if he gets the service, especially from Marshall pinging in some good crosses

Mea culpa. I made the same mistake as 58.
