We all know the Seth Johnson contract story - well those of us with LUTV have
now found out that Fotherby (and Wilko) were as bad as Ridsdale !!
In the interview with Kamara he says that he was offered double the wages he
was on at Stoke plus a huge signing on fee plus a huge bonus for helping us
gain pormotion. When Kamara said OK but I have got to go to Boro as a courtesy
they came back and offered him an extra £20k. He said "I was happy with first
offer but have to go to Boro cos Gibson was an old mate" - they then came back
with an extra £25K and an even bigger promotion bonus !!!! Crazy !!
Much as I loved the way Kamara played for us that season and I do know it was
his cross for Chappy at Bournemouth but come on, double wages and and extra
£45K signing on fee (in addtion to what they first offered him) and a huge
promotion bonus - totally stupid bargaining when he said he would have accepted
the first offer !
You just cannot see cuddly Ken doing that sort of deal - he is more of a "this
is our first and final offer - take it or leave it" kind of negotiator
