.....and the club would know if Smith has a loyalty bonus or not, and they'd have to assume that he's exercise that clause and so factor it in to the price. In transfers, who knows what was paid?
But anyhow, on a scale of irritation his going to ManU was still a kick in the swingers somewhat. However, to be honest I'm past actually getting annoyed about any player not staying as long as i'd like them to - there really is no loyalty anymore anywhere. So my being annoyed at Smith is mild to say the least. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: martes, 29 de enero de 2008 18:08 Para: McWilliams, Brendan, VF-ES (bmcwill) CC: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [LU] All the best, Gary A club would approach Leeds and ask if Smith was available. Leeds would say 'yes depending on your offer'. The 2 clubs would then negotiate an agreeable fee. The player is then given permission to talk personal terms with the club. The transfer fee is set before Smith would/could have decided to waive any sums due from Leeds. Indeed noone in their right mind would agree to that until primarily they had agreed personal terms, and secondly those terms were good enough for you to think about waiving your dues. Whatever you may think about his decision to join 'them', I think it remains a unique act of genorosity on the part of a football player.
