PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Perhaps offering more to beat other clubs to his signature ? That makes no sense. All other clubs have to do is offer the release fee (not a penny more) and Baxter is allowed to speak to them. There is no strategic benefit to offering any larger amount. It won't buy a club exclusivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 can I be the first in this thread to say I don't want Baxter to go full stop. He's a class act and a joy to watch after the :censored:e I've endured these past 18 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 can I be the first in this thread to say I don't want Baxter to go full stop. He's a class act and a joy to watch after the :censored:e I've endured these past 18 years or so. Totally agree. Lights up a :censored: league. When he's on the ball I get a similalr feeling to when the likes of Wylde, Stainrod and Ritchie were playing ie actual excitement. Love him.

RossiOafc90 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 According to somebody at the club baxters release clause is 1mil not 250k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'll take your 'somebody' and raise you a Simon Corney - it's £250k stipulated by Jose's dad and his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Knowing Simon, cos he asked. I seem to remember it came up at the first meet the fans? Might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Corney has given out conflicting info over the years. Including saying there is no buy-out clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why has/would Corney tell a fan how much a players release clause is? .....because it was Prozac - someone with a good profile on the fans message boards, and someone who he could trust not to be sensatinalist with the information he was willing to impart. Its £250k.... however, it could've been £0 and 0p if he'd have gone to Peterborough in January, so we should be grateful for what we have.

adamoafc Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I really can't see corney being that naive to reveal it. I think he may have said to fans one figure knowing that it would get batted about but kept the real figure between himself and Baxter. As a chairman wanting the most for a player surely he wouldn't give it away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The release clause, when met in an offer, allows clubs to talk to Baxter but it does not mean that we have to encourage Baxter to go. £250k is probably less than we would want for him, although there are issues in having him in our team, but should a club offer more it might, I say should, encourage us to help Baxter on his way. Baxter can be a joy to watch but we can't build a team around him unless we know he is going to stay. Neither a forward not a centre midfield so what formation should we adopt?
