I'd guess the single most attractive inducement is the 7-figure staying up bonus.
Well yes, but playing at the likes of Peterborough takes the edge off it a bit.
And maybe I should have added 'self-respecting' Premier League player, but not sure Tarkowski falls into that category.
The sell on figure could mean all fans could get in for free next season….Some speculation linking him with a £20m move to the Toon
Good few bob for us if it happens, not sure if he's gone on strike yet![]()
No mate. We would be propping up a terrible regime. We bought out their sell on clause and that’s that.Call me old Brentford, but I'd like to see us make a voluntary add-on payment to Oldham FC if this finally goes through.
Our exact sell-on clause I have forgotten, but imagining we are due something like 25% above 6M quid? So in the ballpark of 3.5M due if he goes for 20M quid.
Those poor buggers already sold out their sell-on to us as they were already financially struggling.
I am sure the hard-nosed business types out there will be choking on their spreadsheets as they read this....
But even though we're clearly not legally bound to do so, I'd welcome a small cut of our portion going (5% would be175K) to OUFC.
Small potatoes from a Prem club perspective, but a windfall for a struggling Div 2 club.
Might even serve to underline to lower league clubs that we are a really good club to deal with in transfers, now that Brexit places a greater importance on looking for the very best young talent in the EFL.
Fair point, I had totally forgotten that.No mate. We would be propping up a terrible regime. We bought out their sell on and that’s that.
That’s mad when you think about it but yes, 25% sell on, £20m (ridiculous when he’s got 6 months left on his contract) so £5m split by 10k season ticket holders….£500.The sell on figure could mean all fans could get in for free next season….

I used to happily play at Gunnersbury Park for nothing......If I was earning that sort of money I would happily play at Gunnersbury Park....![]()
A small donation to their Supporters Trust would be welcome by this author.
And while a donation to their supporters’ trust would be laudable, I think it rather unlikely we’d land such a deliberate snub on their owner (cf our stewards acquiescing in ensuring their fans couldn’t bring protest flags or t shirts). If the trust now had control of their club we might do it and bask in a few more days of media love.Whilst I agree with the sentiment, its just a shame that there would no guarantee that any money we passed onto them would be put towards helping the club, and not into the pockets of the owners.
No. It’s a nice idea but it’s just never going to work. As rebus says a donation to their trust is a safer bet.Call me old Brentford, but I'd like to see us make a voluntary add-on payment to Oldham FC if this finally goes through.

I thought it 20% sell on of this difference in the sale price and purchase price?
So £3.85m if he went for £20m. Very nice.It’s said to be a 27.5% sell on.
So anything above £6m (can’t remember all the fees now and if £6m is correct. it’s somewhere around!) Brentford would receive 27.5% of it.
Assuming the club can make a donation without breaking any rules. How big is small? £50k? £100k?A small donation to their Supporters Trust would be welcome by this author.

They've put in a bid for a Zenit St Petersburg striker.I can’t work Burnley out. The local owners sold to Americans in the summer and nothing.
They have a great tactical manager who has helped them punch above their weight for good number of years.
selling star players to close competitors
anyone know any more ???
They didn’t have a choice selling woods as Newcastle activated a release clause in his contract.I can’t work Burnley out. The local owners sold to Americans in the summer and nothing.

get that but what have they done to take the club forward ?They didn’t have a choice selling woods as Newcastle activated a release clause in his contract.
I agree, they certainly haven’t progressed. I read that the owners are looking to sell already but I don’t know how true that is.
A couple of exceptions but American owners rarely seem to end wellI agree, they certainly haven’t progressed. I read that the owners are looking to sell already but I don’t know how true that is.
It must cross his mind when going into big 50/50s that a big payday is just around the corner. I wonder if he'll be as committed for the rest of the season..
Bet he won't do it next week against us.Nice assist for Chelsea's 4th goal today.![]()
Anyway what he did at that fateful night, when refusing to play, will now come back to haunt him, as a warm welcome will be there for him on Saturday!
Every time he touches the ball, he’ll be reminded of it.
Trust he enjoys the reception he’ll get, particularly if he is left floundering, as Toney goes round him to score!
Shown incredible loyalty to The clarets![]()
Yes on his day a very decent Premier League defender but does have a big gaff in him and let's hope we see a couple on Saturday.Good player but a greedy bastad….give him proper grief![]()
Million quid? You give me a million if he doesn't make a mistaken next week? OK I'm game.A mistake waiting to happen, very good player but like Stones will makes 5-10 rickets a season, not all end up in goals for both of them but that is down to poor finishing.

$1Will you give me a million if he doesn't?
Especially with David Button behind him in goal; used to get palpertations everytime they started passing it between them in front of our goal.A mistake waiting to happen, very good player but like Stones will makes 5-10 rickets a season, not all end up in goals for both of them but that is down to poor finishing.
