There's a rule in place that a club is entitled to a transfer fee for a young player (I think it's under 24, but it might be under 22) who moves to another club at the end of his contract if they made that player an offer that was a material improvement on his existing contract. The idea was that it would discourage bigger clubs from poaching all of the young talent from across the league. I'm not sure how it would stand up to a legal challenge, though.

There's not many clubs that'll pay compensation. There's one that springs to mind that won't be a long trip to training.

Much too far South

Re: Rumours thread. : Thu May 03, 2012 2:24 pm  
Can someone talk me through the compensation issue?

He's in the last year of his contract, does the compo only apply if you sign him before it expires? Otherwise, what if he doesn't want to sign for Widnes, but nobody is willing to pay a fee - he can't sign anywhere?

Its pea-nuts.

Something like £5k per year for each year they have been at the club after the age of 16.

We are after Brett Finch apparently...interesting

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... derby.html

Is this what you was talking about St Pete?

I think he'd might even offer his services to wigans biggest rivals in order to get the deal he wants from Wigan :wink: :SHHH:

Anyhow, I think finch truck has worked and he will be at Wigan next year but his loyalty is a fu**ing joke.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -

It's not bad that, The sun being a week or so behind me :wink:

Finch has offered himself to every club in the world nearly. He will go to anyone who's willing to pay.


Loyal and proud :lol:

Old news. Discussed that with St.Pete over two weeks ago.
Not likely to be staying at Wigan doesnt see eye to eye with IL allegedly.
Obviously Rogues will know better, those discussions will have taken place in his lounge. Come from excellent source too.

The Finch story is interesting. For me if there's any chance of getting him, we should do it. He's a world-class organiser and exactly what we need.

He's Quota and Non-Fed though...does this mean there's some truth in the rumour that Hohaia wants out at the end of the season?

Hohaia out - Finch in wouldn't be a bad bit of business (understatement of the century) :PRAY:

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Finch will be looking for his last big contract, you can't blame him for exploring every possibility, just as Manu has.

Agree (for once!) Puletua did it too, leveraging Warrington's interest to get the best possible deal from Saints. They'd be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't. Long time retired.
