18BAIRN76 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 This week has been bad enough without folk bringing up this Lewis Kidd shite again. Couldn't get a game in our worst team in decades ffs. He's shite. He's not good enough to play for Falkirk. Let it go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a sale that big is an exception to the rule but there’s no reason we couldn’t get lots of smaller sales if we have the right scouting network in place(ie not Hartley and Mitchell). The way we recruited McKenna is an example. There are lots of players coming out of the American college system and the money saved from the academy could allow us to offer longer term contracts to get a return on them. David Weir came back from the US and ask Jeffries for a trial so there is talent available. The usual problem beset us when he moved on. International class all over him Hatley and the likes in his pocket every game. What do we do ? Goes to Hearts for pocket money and Hamilton in exchange. Banging head on desk at the sheer stupidity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know that the figure rumoured at the time was for way more than that and the DR report quotes Ritchie as having confirmed this. Of course the official figure was 'undisclosed' at the time so I'd be interested to hear where you get the figures that you quote? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he is pretty serious on it Will went for what 300k ? activated 12 month ext on his contract at Rotherham tying him to 2020 wants to leave minimum fee i have seen reported for him being 1.5million highest fee i have seen quoted being 5 million depending what sell on clause we had on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 am I being whooshed here or are you being serious?Don't think you are being whooshed. If I remember correctly we have 20% sell on clause. With the way that English market is inflated Will could easily go for £8 million plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Just now, sick boy said: perhaps, but even still the academy sales in total are over 2million. Transfermarkt had Conor McGrandles fee from us to Norwich as 1.25 million maybe with the add ons but realistically i would say anywhere between 500-750k. I suppose you need a bit of luck on your side with unearthing some gems not to mention a manager that is happy to give youth a chance in the first team for them to shine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 perhaps, but even still the academy sales in total are over 2million.I'm not sure how much the academy sales were as in typical Falkirk fashion a lot went for an undisclosed fee. Always made me feel we had punted them on the cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one wouldnt surprise me to be honest, lets hope whoever takes over has a lot more savvy than the current lot, though in fairness they did rescue the club in its hour of need from liquidation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sums from the accounts showed it was around 200k cash in (I don't have the numbers in front of me but recall this was correct). The 500k figure the likes of Ritchie quoted were best case scenario after add ons. Of course they were going to bump the number up publicly to make themselves look better. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBairn Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Isn’t that ginger boy who works for the club meant to also be the Supporter Liaison Officer for the fans too... being an employee in that position surely defeats the purpose of the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Didn't realise Falkirk had beaten Ajax in European competition tbf. Makes our 6-2 win over Valencia look like shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOs are paid employees of the clubs in most cases, as far as I’m aware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
