It's obviously been put in there so that it looks like we had no choice but to sell these players, this is awful if it's true.
Dunc said:nice reasoned view there Steven. Care to back it up with any reasons or any managers who would be better and ones that would come to us.
Why are we constantly flapping about this when we all knew about it 12 months ago, the clauses were mentioned when they signed. Scimeca is not going to want the fans to think he's just buggered off after 12 months and a relegation.
"I knew nothing about it" - YEAH RIGHT!!!
Lboro fox said:Exactly, as for the line about making it easier to sell the players, if someone wants them its very easy to sell them, the club just sets the price. If the clause wasnt there we may have been able to get up to 500k for him, him and his agent knew it was there and asked for it. Lets just hope he hasnt got a clause with west brom and he rots in div 1

He hasn't got the clause with WBA because they are not so desparate to be able to move players on - for us its clearly a case of being willing to sacrifice market values in transfer fees to save on the wage bill. I am not criticising this - except I suspect that many people did not appreciate how dire the finances.

I would imagine that WBA do not have the clause whereby he takes a drop in wages in the event of relegation. I think thats where the trade-off
was, his wages will have dropped to an acceptable div 1 level, so his agent wanted to make sure the club couldnt deny him a transfer and make him stick with us.
Its a shame the transfer fee wasnt slightly more realistic, 250k transfer fee pays for a div 1 players wages for a season.
Scowcroft said:I heard West Brom implemented this agreement in the players contract that in the event of relegation, they would receive a pay cuts too.
They did that last time in the Premiership, not sure if they're doing it this time around though..... :?:

One player who Albion definitely want is Scimeca's former team-mate Dickov, who scored 12 Premiership goals this term.
"I heard that West Brom are interested in Paul," said Scimeca. "He is a very, very good player and it would be great if he joined. I've spoken to him briefly but I know that Paul has other options as well and he'll make the right decision that suits him."
Dickov also has a clause in his contract allowing him to speak to Premiership clubs following relegation but Adams, who is angry about losing Scimeca, would presumably be furious if Dickov quit too.
Adams said: "Riccardo signed a two-year contract with us, but he has decided to leave after a year. It's disappointing because we would have expected a bit more back from him. Muzzy Izzet stayed here two years ago when we went down and showed loyalty to get the club back up."
But Scimeca insists he did not even know his contract had a clause in it entitling him to leave if Leicester were relegated.
"I didn't know anything about it when I signed the contract, I didn't ask to leave or anything," said Scimeca, who has no similar clause in his Albion contract.
F*ck Off Scimeca!! :x
