Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

Happy to be corrected but I have a feeling that the compensation rule up here is u23. I'd imagine that would be why he got a wage bump last year but the expiration date of the contract remained the same ie: we're still protected by compensation rather than him being able to walk away for nothing when it expires.

Reading the graphic gives it more sense.

I was always sure it was "23 and under" meaning he'd just qualify, but as the clause states, that won't be the first season in which he has been 23, so this summer will be our last chance for compensation.

Providing he doesn't do a Cadden, would we be expecting a decent wedge? Just thinking based on us getting £550k for Erwin when he played 38 games for us.

 I'm no expert but it all depends on the category of club he signs for.

I'd guess that the fact Erwin moved to Leeds meant that the comp was higher.

Using Cadden as an example IIRC the story was that had he moved to a club at the same category as us (Cat II I think) the compensation due would have been somewhere in the region of €600k.

According to McGarry the club advised Oxford that the compensation due were they to sign him (a category below us) would be €300k.

FIFA's schedule for training compensation for 2019 is here so that's where you'd imagine the €600k and €300k figures were derived.

Based on the below presumably, had he moved to a Cat I club, it'd have been €900k:

Spoiler

Unless there have been significant changes you'd think the same would be true for Campbell (or any other product of the Motherwell Academy).

The 3-5-2 will certainly look a lot better when McGinley can go to the left of the back three and Carroll goes LWB. Whats the story with him - when's he due back? 

I see the official site has brought the Team News page back. Saying October/November for Carroll.

Also, apropos of nothing...it looks like Shaun Byrne is now following the club on Twitter (assuming it's not a really niche fake). I mean we do great content and we've a few of his former team-mates at the club - why wouldn't he follow us? Interesting in light of the Donnelly injury and fat Charlie arriving at Dens though.

Someone did earlier on Twitter...

Going by the replies it seems genuine rather than a "could do a job" bit.

Glad its not just us.

A boy in his 30s who barely plays 10 games for a club, and hasn't scored over 10 league goals in Scotland for a decade, yet somehow has fans absolutely clamouring for him.

It's being suggested that Byrne doesn't want to go to you but we are trying to force him to move. 

Is that coming from that Hugh Jarse weirdo?

He reads this site then just posts any rumour he sees, then deletes it if it doesn't happen. He fell for the wind up on here about Steven MacLean becoming a contracted player for us.

 A rumour that literally only existed on this site.

No, from the Dundee forum.
