Radford Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just now, RandomGuy. said: Well it's technically the correct answer. We paid Motherwell a fee to get Sutton in before the European ties. You are going to need to show me the evidence for this I'm afraid. The Alashkert game was on Thursday 2 July. When did his contract end? We saw with Tanser last season you can register one player in the 24 hours before the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are BBC reports that support RG here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33141678 and here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33169125 Genuinely had no idea. I always just assumed he moved under freedom of contract. Edited May 28, 2018 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just to clarify, we're seriously claiming that Motherwell, a perfectly reasonable football club with good people, demanded a fee to release John Sutton from a contract that ended in a few days time? Have you guys been out in the sun too long today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you guys been out in the sun too long today? To be clear I'm not claiming cash money changed hands. Just that there was indeed a pre-contract agreement to let him move early. There's no mention of a fee undisclosed or otherwise in the news story we put out at the time. The only thing I've read having looked for some evidence is a Sky Sports article that suggests "negotiation" to release him early: Quote Sutton could move earlier if a release from his contract with Motherwell can be negotiated and Saints will be keen to get him in their squad as quickly as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I thought we'd paid a little something for Sutton's early release but, if we did, it's basically a technicality compared to the real point. As far as we're aware Saints haven't gone out and paid an actual transfer fee since the Dave/Muzz £50k. It was either Geoff or Steve that said they'd never pay another fee and it looks like they've stuck to their word. No wonder. What have Dave and Muzz ever done for us? It could be argued that the way things have gone since those signings the policy's been been right but there will always be a bit of a 'what if?' feeling about the policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Fees we've paid this century? Dave Mackay/Murray Davidson (£50,000) Danny Grainger (?) Liam Craig (£25,000 plus £12,500) Willie McLaren (?) Martin Hardie (?) Michael Moore (£35,000) Sammy Youssouf (?) Peter MacDonald (£125,000) Paul Hartley (£200,000) Tommy Lovenkrands (?) Must be more than that? Edited May 30, 2018 by Radford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Why do we need to pay a fee for anyone? We've just had our most sustained amount of top 5 finishes as well as European adventures without paying anything, apart from that 50 grand obviously and even that was years before that success. You trying to keep up some interest in the thread with this feeble shite Radford? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, it's barely noticeable, but im certain it was reported we gave Motherwell "compensation" to end his contract. Lies again. He signed a pre contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I like how it just sounds as if we’re just getting Tanser to beef up, since he was a weak little thing. [emoji23] Bulk up or piss off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
