According to Brentford’s local press we sold him for £500k. I’m led to believe we had a 20% sell on, that we sold - I’m led to believe for £150k - before he went for £6m.

Does led to believe mean someone has said it on OWTB so I’m gonna pick that as the figure ? Where has this 150k come from and how long till it’s an actual fact ?

LaticsLegend Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Heard a wild rumour that AL will only let Edmundson go when he changes his agent. Presumably to his old company or one of his pals. No idea of the original source of this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLegend Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Profits from player sales going towards paying off debts/running the club for a bit longer is standard fare for clubs like us. If only AL was upfront about the fact the debts are to pay off he might not get as much flack as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 21 minutes ago, rudemedic said: Selling on the cheap. Because he needed the money. Let me start this by saying I still think Simon Corney is a twat. But, we turned down substantial bids for Chris Taylor, Chris Porter, Lee Hughes, Carl Winchester, Dave Mellor, an ageing Peter Clarke. We managed to get 500k for Neal Trotman. We got Rotherham to pay 350k for JCH. We got good fees for youth team players Spencer, Renshaw and Philliskirk. We got 300k for Tom Eaves. Admittedly it was a tribunal, but we got nearly 100k for Deane Smalley. We even got six figures for Chris O'Grady when he was absolutely shite for us. So I'm not sure I agree with you on this...

NJ33 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Eardley got sold for nowhere near what he was worth I agree, but that is because he let his contract run down and couldn't wait to leave, he was getting dogs abuse week in week out for his own fans who for some reason thought Lomax was better.

JoeP Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 29 minutes ago, Monty Burns said: Lee Johnson Dale Stephens Neal Eardley Dean Furman Joel Coleman Korey Smith We probably should have got more money for Coleman, Smith and Stephens (although it would have taken some foresight to predict how his career has turned out..). But the fact is, as Lee Sinnott says above, there is very little evidence to suggest that Corney tried to constantly sell on the cheap. Some people seem to be impressed by what AL is doing with regards to George Edmundson because they have the view that it's the opposite to what Corney would have done when, in reality, that isn't the case.. We probably lost out to the tune of £1.5 million by turning down bids for Taylor and Porter. £650k with add-on for Edmundson sounds like a reasonable deal to me. If he ends up walking away for nothing because we hold out for too much, that is really bad business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those were when it was Corney, Blitz and Gazal running the club? When it was just Corney we sold a lot of players on the cheap. If I meant the times when Brassbank were running the club I'd have used the phrase 'Brassbank economics'. PS I wouldn't say £30k was substantial.
