Dons_1988 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Was merely responding to folk who seem to think sell on clauses in these type of deals dont happen.No one said that. They’re obviously very common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep62 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 34 minutes ago, Irrational Behaviour said: I live in Carlisle and through work, I have gotten to know two people who are heavily involved at the club. Interestingly, this sell on clause for Cosgrove isn't the one that's most financially rewarding for the club. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/18192804.former-carlisle-utd-striker-subject-growing-transfer-speculation/ This article would seem to back this point up Lost for words if this is true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterAFC Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Fair enough, guess we'll have to wait and see if he just means the solidarity payment or an actual clause. Maybe I'm just too positive but Carlisle board rep trying to save face at a fan meeting by exaggerating the truth feels more likely than us outright lying for no real reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Would Carlisle even be due much of the solidarity payment? He was there less than a year. I'm guessing Wigan and possibly Everton would get a bigger chunk of it if that's how it works? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Saw the headline in the paper that we're in for 'Ross County striker'. I presume it's this guy Stewart ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Not really sure what the fans were expecting? He's hardly going to say he and McInnes are delighted at being slagged off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll listen later to see what he actually said but as with 99.9% of anything said in a pre match press conference it’ll most likely be totally innocuous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logie skid boys Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 See the paddock sold out for cup game again. It’s one positive of this season is that it looks like we will have permanent proper home end for next season. Can see this unallocated seating catching on with other clubs . It’s game changer for us regards atmosphere . Aye the fitba has to improve but cormack is getting things right so far with the fans . . Can see the paddock being a sell out with season tickets next season. . Should be cracking atmosphere week on sat . .for Derek he will be praying his players turn up or it could get ugly . But I’m sure it will great afternoon . Looking forward to it . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have no idea why folk are getting their knickers in a twist about a sell on clause in Cosgrove’s contract. I would imagine, regardless of any fee, that almost every player will have a sell on clause written into their contract. The selling club would not be doing their job if they didn’t insist on it. However, I certainly hope that it isn’t 30%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlisle were the club that pushed to bring the deal forward so Aberdeen allowing a clause like that to be added would be remarkably dumb. Obviously noone would have expected Cosgrove to progress the way he has but even so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the other way round you would be claiming that it was “remarkedly dumb” if Aberdeen didn’t want a clause in if we were selling to Carlisle. It’s good normal business by Carlisle, if it is the case. Some people want to moan about anything to do with Aberdeen at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Did Aberdeen get a sell on added in from Norwich for Kenny McLean? Was that not a pre-contract where the buyer paid a nominal fee to complete (with an immediate loan back)? If so, this seems relevant to your interests.

I'd think it was dumb of whatever club allowed a clause like that to be added when there was no reason for the buying side to allow it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if we have a clause or not. Would be grand if we did, especially as we're getting nowt for Ryan Fraser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
