What a monumentally crap rule that was.
Concede free kick 25 yards out, show 'dissent', free kick moved forwards 10 yards which makes it masively harder for attacking team to score.
Should be allowed to move it up to 10 yards in any direction.
Great move by Dekka wasn't it?
I'm really pleased for Hughton. Good guy and did not deserve the way he was treated.
Dekka wanted to move in another direction. What direction was that then?
Ashley was struggling to angle his head downward far enough to see the ball on the pitch due to the multitude of extra chins he had. Dekka decided to get someone in who would ensure the ball was on a level with the directors box for as much of the game as possible to save him this terrible inconvenience.
That's probably why they insist on these release clauses. If he were to go on the open market a club would be looking at paying 15-20m for him and there's no way in hell they'll chuck in £5m of agents fees on top.
If they artificially lower his asking price with a release clause then the buying club will be more willing to part with a higher agents fee. That's likely also why Ba has it in there that he'll get 50%.
If i'm not mistaken, a player usually gets about 15% of the transfer fee unless they have requested a transfer. 15% of £7.5m isn't that much for Ba himself compared to the 15% of £20m he would stand to receive on the open market so they've covered his cut there.
Disappointed he didn't get a game against Bordeaux. Haven't seen too much of him but he looks like he could be a decent prospect, hopefully he'll start getting some time this season.
Thought he did ok in the role he was given. Still not convinced he'll ever be a decent striker for us though. A striker that doesn't score goals is a bit pointless really, Shola mk II but without the mackem slaying goals.
It's funny how he seems a little surprised at this. Hey, Al, guess what? We've never come from behind to win in your entire time with the club, maybe you should look at that. Have a shufty at the set penises too while you're at it. Cheers.
