As Lascelles is attracting the big guns with 30 mil being quoted, do you think our previous owner would have been sensible and forward thinking and insist on a sell on clause. . !

{Ed001's Note - you would get a percentage of any sale anyway. When a player is transferred now, clubs that have nurtured the player as a youth player get to share 5% of the transfer fee.}

Am not sure forwards thinking was his forte!

That’s useful to know Ed - thanks for that

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate. It has saved a few non-league and lower league sides recently when they have been in financial difficulties. It does mean there is not so much pressure to tie promising youngsters down to deals clubs cannot really afford as well. While you might miss a little in the short term, you should be able to get it back if they do progress in the future.}

Ed - you say now but was that the case in 2014?

{Ed001's Note - I can't remember when it was introduced as a regulation but it applies to all transfers now. I honestly can't think when it came into effect.}

He had trouble thinking let alone forward thinking. I was one of few on here who criticised him from early on his tenure, and admonished by those who now criticise him all the time!!!

I personally think he was well intentioned. Some better luck with injuries and we’d have challenged. Let’s hope these lot do better, on current showing?

His heart was in the right place.
It was his head that was the problem.
