There is a formula in place for compensation in Scotland , training compensation , but it’s nowhere near what we would get in England and it dosnt even go to tribunal, if this is the way young players are going to go then we are stuffed I’m afraid, I would think Matt Taylor is a bit ****** off by this to be honest

Thanks AA , so what do you reckon we would get roughly then ?

I guess it depends on whether a young player thinks getting game time and

KMT has made that judgement and has decided he’s not ready.

or has he pulled him because of something else , judging by what I saw I think he held his own ,

The Scottish "formula" would apply only to transfers between Scottish clubs. A move from England to Scotland will come under UEFA/FIFA laws. If Pond went to Rangers at the end of his contract I’m guessing the compo would be a little under £200k.

I think you are right that MT is definitely not happy about all this. That wasn’t a question that the media team would have asked on their own accord in the post game interview yesterday so clearly MT wanted to get the Pond situation out into the public domain.

I think MT is big on respect and doing things the right way and in his opinion he does not feel this situation has played out in the right way.

Get rid asap if he doesn’t want to be here. Our pathway for youth to succeed is proven, think the kids gunna regret this in a few years.

For my sins I worked at an oil company for many years. Fresh graduate geologists and engineers were given a years training and probation. Part of the deal was that they were tied to the company for around 5 years and had to pay compensation of they wanted to leave. I'm not sure if that would work in football but it seems that currently the one party that is absolved of any responsibility is the player himself.

But he is registered with the English FA so surely if Rangers want to sign him they would have to adhere to whatever regulations apply here? Otherwise any FA could set up a scheme with minimal compensation and sign players from anywhere for next to nothing.

No they don’t I’m afraid , they are classed as going abroad
