Gerrbrand leaves City

[SilverFox]

Fredrikstad play in front of crowds of about 6 or 7 thousand, some of whom only pay just over a tenner to get in. They play only 13 home games a season. Do the arithmetic and tell me what kind of fee they would be likely to be able to afford.

The fact is that they have enough of a job paying their players and can't afford to spend anything on fees. If you waited for an offer of a fee in such circumstances, you just finish up with players not moving out and the whole of the cost of his contract remaining City's responsibility.

Fair enough. Though a sell on clause might have been nice, just in case he does well and they ended making the money on him that we didn't.

Fully agree about a sell-on clause - perhaps there is one, although I doubt it because there seems to have been no transfer; we scrapped his contract/registration and they have signed him as a 'free agent'.
