Rovers_Lad Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Suppose it depends on what Sim constitutes a crazy offer.We,ve lost nigh on quarter of a mill in the last two years and sitting with a debt of near half a mill and expect another loss this season.If a semi decent offer or in our case an undisclosed offer comes in every chance he,ll be offski 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hopefully the club decided to omit the dreaded "boyhood club" clause from this new contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hopefully the club decided to omit the dreaded "boyhood club" clause from this new contract. I hope so too, because I would have Vaughan over Simon Murray any day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Murray playing for Arbroath when he was twa-ply reek and he was outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still have Vaughan in my side before Murray as well. Murray hasn't impressed at Hibs and he didn't impress at Utd either. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'd still have Vaughan in my side before Murray as well. Murray hasn't impressed at Hibs and he didn't impress at Utd either. Of course he impressed at United. 18 goals last season, 7 the season before, going on minutes played he had scored a goal every 142 minutes for them. He had numerous offers from Premiership teams up here and even L1 teams down south. At Hibs he already has 11 goals in 15 appearances and if you don't think he's impressed at Hibs just go and have a read of Hibs.net. The Hibs fans seem to absolutely love him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hopefully the club decided to omit the dreaded "boyhood club" clause from this new contract. Perhaps not a “boyhood club” clause but I’d be surprise if there wasn’t some sort of release clause in there. Hopefully a decent amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I get the feeling he'll stay til the summer, help us get promoted, then be off for a decent fee.... And if he does, fair play to him - id wish him all the best. He could easily have said no thanks i'll see out my contract and sign for Dundee/Hibs/Hearts etc on a pre contract in January I actually have a bit of faith that Sim will be true to his word on this - I understand he initially rejected the Callachan bid from Hearts as well, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 If he's going to go to any club, I think it'll be Hibs if they put in a sufficient bid in the summer. It's no secret he's a Hibs fan, but it's good we've got him under contract. I wouldn't grudge him the move at all if we're promoted. I'd be gutted if he ended up at a team like Dundee though. He'd be put into a middling squad at a team where we could potentially be at the same level before long if things go well for us and bad for them. I'm just happy to see him sign, and also that both the development team got a good win, and that we're seeing players gradually get back to fitness. I've seen a lot about Ayr fans chatting about us still having to go through a poor spell, but we've still had half a defence starting games and been grinding out good results (Cliftonhill aside). If we keep this going, then I'm very optimistic we'll finish top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just as long as we don't get this 'undisclosed fee' crap when he does go. All it does is put people off donating to the Development Squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the buying teams fans start moaning about overspending when things at their club go wrong. It works both ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? My point is, irrespective of the value of the transfer fee, if any party insists on privacy, that is what will be observed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Falkirk don't seem to have a problem telling all and sundry what the transfer fee is. Apart from anything else it lets the buying clubs know that the seller is not going to be messed about. Only at Rovers do we have this undisclosed fee pish, which pushes the fee down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 TBF, if any of the parties, player included, insist on this, this will be included in the statement. The point stands, though. It may put people off contributing to the youth development fund when they see the more promising ones being sold for what they perceive to be a nominal sum. Rightly or wrongly, with Scottish transfers, when I see 'undisclosed sum' I think 'buttons'. That's not always the case, but it's my perception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the likes of Falkirk, Livingston and even East Fife tell all and sundry what the fee was we should be doing the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 We signed Andy Ryan for an undisclosed fee only a few months ago. To suggest it's only the Rovers, or it's embarrassing or it's putting people off things is franky ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
