Players have a cooling off period in their contracts. It seems as though he has executed his rights in that respect, which is a real shame. Not in any way surprised though. I am sure the club will be negotiating compensation as we speak (if indeed he is off to Fulham).
Martin - What compensation, if any, will we be due? My understanding, and I may be completely wrong, is that it will be fixed according to EPPP as he's too young to have signed, or be offered a professional contract.
He was offered a professional deal and therefore EPPP does not apply. It was the same for Ethan Ampadu.
Aren't we all!
And if the Ampadu tribunal is a guide, we will end with the equivalent of "tuppence in the pound" !
£100k with some add-ons is about all we can expect. Unfortunately this sort of thing is looking like it is going to become the norm sadly.And if the Ampadu tribunal is a guide, we will end with the equivalent of "tuppence in the pound" !
Thanks for the clarification - didn't realise he had been offered a pro deal. Let's hope he goes on to do better than Sean Goss who is the last youngster I can remember leaving for a bigger club without playing for the first team first.
He's signed for them now. Shame.
