I cant believe how yet again your questioning his reasons... it makes perfect sense a player would go to the club where he'd get regular first team football... Its the same as Tilson boasting last year that Leon wouldnt be first choice striker over Drewe and Dudfield... Theres like another how many 6 strikers??? at Peterborough.

When you figure that Peterborough are struggling financially i cant see them being overjoyed if Leon had have refused the deal - £75K to the club!. I suppose you could reason that Fry could have pulled the same tactic he did when Leon refused the first loan deal.... "he can just rot in the reserves"

Be real you lot! Look at the bigger picture this is football - and the same old argument! Had Southend have offered him a fair contract reflecting his contribution to the club last year he may have re-signed!

If he hadn't gone looking for a new club in November (when he wasn't figuring) im sure he would have been offered a better deal. I would have liked him to stay as our attack could have had Gower and Connie on the wings with Fredy and Gray upfront.

For anybody who for some reason actually misses Constantine, just keep repeating to yourself:

"We've got Fredy, we've got Fredy, we've got Fredy"

Good old Fat Baz, the way he has bumped up Connies value kind of reminds me of how he used to bump up Stans value every time he scored another goal.

It still begs the question though...do we get any cash from the deal as it occurred within twelve months of his leaving us?? If we do, then how much??

...and when IS a door not a door?

 

[Guest]

He left because his contact was up and he chose not to sign another, we did not "transfer" him so would could not have requested/insisted on any form of sell on clause.

However Fat Baz may have got one hence the drop in the fee from 100k to 75k

I'm convinced that we are entitled to a slice of that fee. When the Bosman ruling was brought in there was a bit in it stating that a club who loses a player on a free is entitled to a slice of any transfer fee on the player within a set period of time after he moved. 12 months I think. It may have changed in the decade since then, but I'm going to do some digging.

Well I've just spent 45 minutes trawling through FIFA and FA transfer regulations (not the most exciting thing to do at half two in the morning) and it appears that that was one of the parts of the transfer rules in this country which was removed when FIFA updated and standardised the rules a little while back.

Bugger.

Lets hope LC scores a hatfull of goals that keeps Torquay up and Posh get relegated through lack of goals, Fatboy then gets houmded out by irate supporters....and we get promoted in their place.

Who cares? Constantine would struggle to make our bench now.
