Squad 2024

Quote: Greg Florimos Boots "See I knew we would agree eventually.
Ah I see, so now the amount we got for Walmsley was just enough to pay for Eden’s signing on fee which wasn’t a right lot but was still too much for us to get the deal over the line without it, silly me.

Now the deal is done as of today I have’t found out what the exact trigger amount in the contract was as it was classed as a bit too personal to reveal so I didn’t ask further.

Likewise the same with the final fee that the clubs agreed upon as I haven’t spoken to anyone since the deal was done and I don’t think they would say so won’t be asking.

Over the period from when it first started what I have been told from 2 independent sources close to the club is the final figures involved in Walmsley’s transfer that the clubs agreed upon were above the contract trigger amount and that Fax would never had agreed to anything less than that amount without it going to tribunal and if it had done we’re confident they would get no less than the amount recorded on the document.

Away from those at the same time there there were all kinds of rumours going round that Wakefield we’re making all sorts of low offers like 5k or this and that k etc, maybe that's what you were hearing?

Anyway back to what I was told face to face and by text at the end Fax had asked for 40k and Wakefield had offered between 20 to 25k.

Both were obviously trying to get the best deal done per their respective clubs and because there weren’t staggering amounts involved in the differences between the trigger and the 2 clubs valuations to avoid the hassle and disruption of going to tribunal they came to an agreement which was closer to Wakefield’s 20k 25k valuation than Fax 40k.

I’m not going to argue any of the above it’s simply the information I have.

If you have been told something different from the club then
you can decide if you want to share it or not?
