Quote: wrencat1873 "Do you think that either player is better than what we have ?
It's a tough business, really tough, especially on younger players but, IF they are good enough, they will find another club and maybe, they will prove Trinity wrong.
Bottom line is that we cant keep hold of every player but, good luck to both of them in whatever comes next.'"
The thing that stops them finding another club is the protections given to the parent club to ensure they are rewarded for the time taken in training etc. This can equate to several thousand pounds (consider it a transfer fee). The downside is that for us to basically stop them we have to pay them their contracts until they reach a certain age (even if out of contract).
We could I suppose waive the transfer fee thereby making them free agents to sign elsewhere and frees us having to continue to pay them.
