Tony Thomson Wes Baynes George Horan Ben Henegan Jonny Hunt Elliott Durrell Ryan Lloyd Sean McConville Ian Howard Michael Wilde George Thompson All left Chester FC free of charge in the past few years, and any one of them better than anything in the current squad. Could probably name at least a dozen more still capable. How have we got to the point where we are signing lesser players on more money and excluding many because of the full-time attitude that currently exists? good team just swap mcginn for hunt then its a better one

Well that turned out better than I expected I bet Tranmere are gutted. Be careful Bear, you might feel the wrath of the board for having a "I know something you don't" attitude. Anyway MM was going for £40k with a provisional £25k put into the budget, if we get the £25k back great, £40k delirium!

Happy with that figure. With Tranmere wanting him gone I don’t think they’ll get much for him, with that 15% sell on clause id call it 23k

So can anyone actually confirm how much the club added to the playing budget based on what they thought they'd get? Lobster mentioned 25k earlier, but that seems pretty optimistic and we've lost money based on that estimate. I think it's a pretty good fee to get for an out of contract player.

Laurence Kirby definitely said £25K at the meeting. He said he was advised it might be as high as £40K but Tranmere's best offer was £10K.

15% sell on clause on top. So £22,500.00 then.

I reckon most of us might have estimated anything between 15k and 25k, therefore I'd have committed about 13k just to be on the safe side. Madness.

If he's sold at what the FA rate him then it's over £25k in total!
Either way LK's figure was an "estimated " amount not actual so bloody good guess I'd say.

absolute result, now can we take the piss and get him back on loan, was never his biggest fan but compared to what we have had this season, i'll be the first to say i miss the big clumsy sod and underestimated how much work he put in whilst wearing the shirt

Good result this, better than I expected with tribunals being a bit of a lottery. Tranmere will be more than disappointed. Think this calls for a chorus of James Alabi, James Alabi, James Alabi when Tranmere visit even if they are stuffing us at the time.

Surprised we got anything above £10k really, but I was even more surprised when I heard that we had estimated we’d get £25k and it had already gone into this seasons budget which was crazy imo. We should have left this out of the budget altogether and then whatever the amount would be would have been be a bonus.
Hopefully lessons have been learnt.

Why the surprise?
He's a young striker who scored 23 goals in 58 appearances for us. That's a good record for which you aren't going to go for the price of a mars bar.
£20k-£25k was roughly what I thought we'd get, the estimate in the budget should have been lower though to be on the safe side, without doubt.

Given Alabi's form, or lack thereof, and his ranking very low in the pecking order at Tranmere, I'm not sure it is particularly likely we'll be getting a sell on fee. Also, I don't want to be pedantic, but yes, we are down £2,500. £25,000 has been spent on the assumption that was going to be what we would receive. We've received £22,500. Not particularly difficult to work out.

That’s a fair amount for a player out of contract of His ability. Were the board duty bound to broadcast the amount received?

£25k has NOT been spent if we don't have it has it ?
It was an ESTIMATE/BUDGET and not an ACTUAL.
Doesn't matter either as we now have another £100k in the bank.
Be positive and move on please ?

Nice. Tranmere will be holding their noses while they write that cheque. Amusing.

Seriously, what planet are you on saying we have another £100k in the bank?! The £75,000 raised is going to stem immediate cash flow problems - a.k.a not in the bank. And the £22,500 Alabi money has been committed for this seasons expenditure (e.g player/staff wages) - a.k.a might be in the bank now, but not for very long. I'm more than happy to be positive but I'm not going to be living in cloud cuckoo land like you seem to be.

I'm more than happy to be positive but I'm not going to be living in cloud cuckoo land like you seem to be. It's a dynamic situation. Don't forget that the playing spend for this season is already being lowered with the exit of McCombe. Let's just hope we can move out one or two more high earners before the end of the season, but it's not looking hopeful. Getting that £22.5K actually into the club is a very good thing right now. I wonder how soon they have to hand over the money?
