Traf Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm very interested to see how he does there and how he fits in and actually hope he does well (apart from in our re-arranged game with them) The extreme hero worship of him is bizarre though. I know we've been short of cult heros in recent years but surely he'll be barely a footnote in a couple of season's time I hope he returns to the Madine we saw most of. Petulant, sulky & shit.

mickbrown Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I do like how Ken adds the context to everything he does. It’s very refreshing for him to explain it all. And Madine can get fucked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm very interested to see how he does there and how he fits in and actually hope he does well (apart from in our re-arranged game with them) The extreme hero worship of him is bizarre though. I know we've been short of cult heros in recent years but surely he'll be barely a footnote in a couple of season's time I think its simply he was the best player in what is generally a poor team. And he hit form that gave us a chance of survival when it looked like we didn't have any. Not sure anyone is elevating him beyond that. I think its the other way round where people are downplaying what he's done this season. He's clearly been our best player and added a lot to his game. Nobody knows if he'd have carried on or gone through a poor period. But even Ken is suggesting he's a massive loss that still needs replacing.

little whitt Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Pick of Ken’s Statement “However, despite all that has been written and said elsewhere, even by some of the people close and actively involved in the transfer, it became obvious to me towards the end of last week that Gary and his advisors had decided on a move away despite having made what l considered to be a very good, new contract offer to Gary, whereby his salary and add-ons effectively doubled his current salary and extended the length of the contract by a further year to 2020. However, for whatever their reasons, Gary and his advisors declined to accept our proposals. Indeed, discussions came to a stage whereby Gary submitted a written transfer request on January 24, which was after the initial offers from Cardiff had been received and swiftly declined, and despite all the efforts made by the manager and myself to keep Gary, it was not to be. Both clubs agreed not to disclose the transfer details, but surprisingly - and l don’t know how - the level of the fee and the payment terms that have been referred to elsewhere and the figures being bandied around are not that far from reality. Furthermore, l can say that the determining factor in agreeing to the transfer, albeit that it was only reluctantly and finally accepted on Wednesday morning, was the fact that the fee was to be paid immediately with further substantial add-ons in the future, together with a substantial share of any future transfer proceeds. We have not given up on finding a suitable replacement for Gary and are today actively looking at out-of-contract players. Despite receiving bids for other players in our squad, we opted to ensure that nobody else left.“ With a Substantial Share of any future Transfer Proceeds who the fuck willever pay more then 6million for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondi Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It’ll end in tears for both Madine & Warnock. Time to move on and offer the Dutch giant a ton of cash until the end of the season, could save our bacon and put him in the shop window.

madthatter Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2018/february/a-note-from-the-chairman/ Full statement. I appreciate KA has to billy bullyshit a little bit, but if the bulk of that statement is accurate then I'm not sure what else he and Parky could have done. I'm not convinced Madine is the sort who would knuckle down and wait until the summer if the offer had been knocked back. The lad is a bellend, albeit a reasonably talented footballing bellend. If we are able to get a bit unit in up front (al la Krammer) then I think the window has been pretty decent for the club. He's played an absolute blinder! I'm still working out the c6 million bit. 6 million for Gary Madine. With future payments if sold on - great dealing but I'm not holding my breath on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkden White Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Most of us appreciated that Madine had to go in view of the money. Readings KAs statement which is very believable it was the right decision for many reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
