Has he? Fantastic!! That means a heavy tribunal/development fee for being under the age of 24 and having been offered a contract. That should make up for any lost money from Setanta, especially as we made £125k for Fleetwood going to Charlton last summer
We're in the money!!
Seriously though he hasn't signed. He has spoken to various different clubs, a contract is on the table but because he has recently had a child he wants a wage increase however we don't want to go anywhere out of anything that we can afford. But if he decides to leave and we get another heavy transfer fee or if he decides to stay then with him and David Brown teaming up again a fantastic opportunity for FGR to have a third successful golden boot winner three seasons in a row
And Jim Harvey going to Chester? Well they'll have to pay a compensation fee as well for the rest of his contract so we'll have that money too
Although obviously primarily we would like him to stay. But he was wanted by Oxford, by Northwich, by Stevenage infact by about everybody so I see no reason why he would choose to jump ship when pre season training starts this morning. Add to that as a manager I would rather start on 0 points on a par with all the other teams rather than -10 points.
