Marcus Gayle %

[Bees Bhoy]

Newcastle are rumoured to be after Marcus (again)! They have offered £1.5M but the Wombles want £3.5M.

Do we get a cut?
I've got 20% in my head for some reason.

I think you are right, so stop playing hardball Wombles and sell him!!!!!

I'd like Wombles to hold out for a higher bid then we get more dosh to write off our £1.5m yearly trading losses.

If Wimbledon get £3.5m we would get £700k, which would be about half of the yearly debt. If they could get £2m it would be a good price, as would our £400k. More than we got in the original deal.

I think you'll find W E Bee that we get a percentage of the profit not the fee. However as they only paid us 250k in the first place I think we could still be looking at a tidy sum, ie £2m fee = £350k assuming the 20% is correct.

It has been known for clubs to buy out the sell on clause so lets hope that W£bby didnt sell it a few years ago!!

Perhaps the club could confirm the situation if and when the deal goes through.

Ron confirmed at the last meet the coaches night that we are on apercentage if he moves and I think it is either 15 or 20%.

Mind you, Ron also suggested that he'd bumped into Marcus and offered him a cut if he does move - I assume he was joking (Ron doesn't give money away does he?).

 

[West Ealing Bee]

I did not know that Isleworth Bee, it puts my figures out a bit doesn't it?
The fee was fairly small so a £2.5m fee would give a profit of £2.25m, which would make our cut.........450k, not bad.

 

[Isleworth Bee]

Not bad at all.

Go on Marcus, get that Geordie phrase book out, you know it makes sense.

"Owa thar toon"

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Also, if they hold out for £3.5m we get a cut of 650k. That would be better, I don't think Newcastle will pay that though.

Today's Metro says Wimbledon don't want to sell him at all, I'm afraid. Looking at his goals per game ratio, there is simply no way that he's worth much more than £1.5 million - if that.

This is my point, the guy's 30 now (god i feel old writing that!!) and if i were Wimbledon i would take it.....

 

[West Ealing Bee]

If they won't sell him now they probably won't get a chance again. Newcastle need a striker and are willing to pay so Wimbledon should sell.
I think he is still worth £2m of anybody's money.

I've always had the impression the cut for MG was as high as 25%. I remember when he was on fire a few years back and Roy Hodgson of Blackburn offered 4m for him and we were rumoured to be getting 1m of that. Wombles didnt sell then and I dont think they will now.
After the cut and MG's fee, they'll be left with little over 1m and who can you replace your best player with these days for 1m?

 

[Edmundo]

If he's their best player, how come he isn't a regular in the first team?

 

[JasonBee]

Edmundo? You dont think MG is a rgular? Click here

 

[Geordie Bee]

I don't think you'll find Newcastle offering any more than a million for him, as he won't get in the side when Shearer and Cort are back. To be honest I think it's all paper talk, as I've seen no quotes from Bobby Robson about a bid.

 

[Pauly Paul]

I don't think Newcastle would offer anything for him if they roll out their Div 1 Championship video and witness Marcus' one-on-one chance against them for the Bees at GP. Remember that? He ended up near the corner flag. If he'd scored we'd have broken their 100% record. To add to the embarrassment it was also live on telly!

Yeah, I've got that video! Newcastle will probably be more likely to look at any end of season video from the last few seasons when he's made monkeys of our so-called defenders.

heard on talkSPORT that terry burton said that newcastle haven't follwed up their initial enquiry, oh well!!

 

[Wise old Bee]

We would have a nerve trousering a percentage of any fee for MG as he was never highly rated at GP and most were surprised that Wimbledon were prepared to bid 250K for him. He used to get a fair bit of stick from the New Road too if I remember.

 

[Jimbee]

Wimbledon were prepared to bid £250k plus 20% of any sell on profit. Why would we have a nerve to receive what is duly ours?

 

[Steve D]

There are a number of percentage sums going around on this thread - even if the lowest is right then we can afford to buy back Scott and Quinn and some!!!!!!!!
