Guest Stanley30 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 But not something I have any control of. Cheering and supporting a player can have an effect. Worrying about the money has none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed watching him because he was a local lad and gutted when he left. I couldn't care less about the money, he was a pleasure to watch So we can fund an academy and facilities to produce more players like Tarkowski, so we can have better players so it’s easier to integrate kids into the side, not constantly scrap at the end of the season etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth did the owner not make it somebody’s job to keep tabs on the lad? He’s from the area, he had mates at the club, his family will be close to the club having been in the academy for ages, yet nobody bothered to check whether he was happy at Brentford. Unbelievable negligence from everybody concerned at Latics. Eventually we lost out on almost a million quid because nobody had the brains or the effort to keep an eye on an investment. I simply can’t believe we couldn’t have easily accessed a line about how he was faring with decent provenance. Terrible business acumen and plain lazy. We were probably about to be wound up by the Revenue or have Vaughan's mate take ownership through failing a Nercarcu payment. In that situation it probably makes sense to sell whatever assets you have for whatever you can get. The failing isn't really in the Tarky situation, it's running the club so vert badly that you find yourself in that situation in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying your points aren’t valid, and it’s always nice when a local lad makes the side and does well, but the money, unfortunately, is slightly more important for this football club. Maybe playershare can me revised to youth academy share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 They need to bring out a rule where as if a player is developed by a lower league team and makes it to the england team they receive a payment. That could be from a pot paid into by the prem or from the fa. We can’t hold on to players and they get sold on the cheap, there should be some reward for developing a player.

JoeP Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I wonder if we're due a fee if Tarky plays for England? Seems a sensible clause to put into any transfer like his to Brentford, even if it did seem fairly unlikely at the time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs are sensible enough to write these sort of add ons into promising young players contracts when they join their new clubs, its probably fair to assume we didn't have the foresight when Tarky joined Brentford, we did have a gentlemans agreement that he'd rejoin us on loan for the rest of that season but Brentford had our pants down good and proper refusing to loan him.

That's just a bollocks OWTB "FACT".
