The Tamplin circus is back

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

Tamplin makes my skin crawl

 

[Joseph Smith]

I think ther needs to be a poll, around the subject of what would you do if Tamplin took over your club?
A) Take up Golf
B) Support your local rivals instead
C) Emmigrate to New Zealand

Well I already play golf, no chance I could ever support Alty, so I best get packing my bags!

No room for dodgy agents but you can't ignore a good B Wood official statement!

So there's a £35k release and they want a sell-on, the agent is offering the full amount and a 20% sell on from whatever club he's trying to move him to? What more do the greedy bastards want? They already fleece every football club and fan that visits them.

I like the way it said 'in summary' and then proceeded to ramble on longer than the actual stuff before it.

2) We then paid a further £5k plus vat to Dagenham, which was a bonus clause written into the transfer – should we of got to Wembley in the Promotion final in May of 2018.

"Morgan’s contract was detailed, well written, and contained a considerable weekly wage, very beneficial appearance monies, and a very good goal related bonus. It also had conditions set into it that included clauses that if met could trigger a transfer" ... "the conditions are not tricky, they are all very, very simple and all very, very easy to understand and to comply with"

To be honest, the original contract is the problem. Why would the sell-on percentage not be specified in the contract?

Leaving it as "Both clubs will agree a sell-on fee and/or additional terms" leaves them open to disregarding the release clause on the basis of not agreeing the 'additional terms', whatever they are. So they never have to sell at £35k and it becomes a completely pointless clause.

That was my first thought, I don't know if something written so vaguely would stand up in court if it did come to a point where the player wanted out of his contract. It's basically saying that the player can leave if £35k is offered, and the club let him leave. A court would likely decide that as long as a sell-on fee was offered then the terms of the release clause had been met.

I'm not typically one to take the agent's side in disputes with clubs, but when the club in question is BHW, how can you not? I think Donald Trump must write their statements which are always 90% about how great they are, how honourably they have behaved, yada yada and then 10% about the issue at hand.

 

[EnglishRed]

Im sure if they'd have got legal advice they wouldnt have been advised to post that nonsense in the public domain, if they intended to take legal action.

And why do they keep mentioning the agents age?

 

[GTFCfish]

Another glaring mistake in that statement is the bit about wanting their supporters to fully understand the situation, as they don't have any.

I assume Ferrier's (TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD) agent requested a release clause to be put in the contract when he signed for Boreham Wood. It's likely Boreham Wood didn't want a release clause but agreed and added the vague section around 'must agree a sell on fee' to cover themselves in case they didn't want to sell.

I do actually have some sypmathy for Boreham Wood for once - Ferrier shouldn't have signed a 2 year contract if he only intended on staying for 6 months.

However, that statement is ridicuous and reminds me of the one they put out after the Carlisle game a few years ago. Repeats the same thing in about 15 different paragraphs.

I read it as though his new (TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD) agent is trying to get him out via the old agents release clause?

Ah OK - then the old agent would have requested the clause but B'wood wanted to cover themselves.

The fact that a lot of non league players even have an agent is bad enough. But i suppose they aren't generally the most intelligent bunch, take Matt can't Rhead for example.

Its raising money for a great cause but this shirt is so bad.

If you look closely on the Torquay one you can see the edge of the GTFC badge sticking out from behind the Torquay badge that they’ve just stuck over the top.
