He may publicly claim he does not for obvious reasons but he will see a % of it.
Got a bit more on this today.
Apparently it was part of LBs new contract that he can use a certain % of transfer fees made.
any idea what sort of percentage?
No idea, relatively small I guess that knowing RD its fucked around with.
I know its only on new deals not any sells ons etc.
I was always under the impression LB wasnt going to piss about with AD the moment he didnt sign a deal and as well as Boywer being pissed off about Aribo
I think Bonne money come from the Aribo development fee
All those slagging off Dijksteel... He's steadily improved since he broke into the team and will continue to do so. He's a good signing for any championship club.
He was at one. Could of continued to improve but went for the money. Don't dress it up as anything else. Understandable on his part but from our perspective unhelpful. Not having the nuts to say tata before you get your picture taken poor. (See Lockyer for how to leave a club).
Pretty sure he can improve ok at Boro, a team who were in the Premier League, what, three years ago? Boro have excellent training facilities and the means to push for promotion. He's hardly left just for the money. The idea that players have to do some kind of massive public mea culpa for daring to move jobs is just insane.
Mea culpa? Just say thanks yourself for the opportunity provided and move on. Do it yourself not via a scripted club statement. Get your timing right and do well in your new job. My lad’s got Konsa shirt framed in his room from Bradford away. Never an issue with young players making progress. The fact RD is squandering our opportunity to do well this season for his own perverse ends is the cancer. Players moving and being glad to do so the outward symptoms of our demise.
Charlton probably held the better hand in getting Afernee to sign but because we’re paying relative peanuts we lost the advantage of him being settled and liking CAFC. The reason he’s gone is our fault not his. Any sensible player would do exactly the same. Good luck AD. We move on to the next debacle.
Just because other clubs are willing to pay more wages it doesn't automatically mean that we should follow. I'm not saying I agree with Roland's budget for us, but every club has to have some sort of financial limit, as if you don't you end up like Bolton or Bury
AD was probably on about £1000 a week at The Valley. A Championship full back should expect at least £7 -10 k per week. No idea what he’s moved onto at Boro but I can’t help feeling that if we’d offered him even close to the going rate then he might have stayed.
I do not think this has anything to do with AD wanting to stay or leave,
If Bowyer felt his % of the transfer sale if true could help him bolster the squad and get some deals over the line then he may feel he would rather use that to strengthen, this is different then the lookman sell on, because that happened before Bowyer was here (If part of the agreement was % of transfer money once Bowyer and his staff have sold a player so to speak)

Clearly. But having a budget is not an end in itself. It supports a goal. That goal should have buy in up front from the manager. For example aim to be 4th bottom in salary/transfer budget but finish above 4th bottom. With a clear plan for how you will outperform (e.g, agreeing that certain academy/young players are ready to be part of the squad, thus helping to stay inside the budget and meet the goal. That is how AFCW do it (and I am sure many more normal clubs). And now finally they will have a bigger budget, once they move into their new stadium having successfully maintained their Div One status. Incremental growth they call it, in normal businesses. We practised that too, long ago.

I don't think Bowyer would lie about that to be fair, he comes across as a very honest person and just tells it as it is. Hopefully it will help him bring in enough quality over the next few days and perhaps offer Lyle a slightly better deal that he had been.

Would explain why bows was so pissed off with Aribo going to Rangers

So we'll just agree that you saying 'Not having the nuts to say tata before you get your picture taken poor. (See Lockyer for how to leave a club)' hasn't aged well then.
We are sniffing about that Bristol Rovers striker that was at Rotherham apparently
Johnson Clarke Harris
Injured at the moment. Perfect for us!
J C Harris .. seen him play a few times for the Millers and who could forget his pen miss against us a couple of seasons back … the ball landed in Barnsley .. t b h, he was young then but I was not especially impressed

He was outstanding for Brizzle R last season. Scored some cracking goals.
IF lee gets the money then great, Don't forget Taylor may be wanting more money - which he is entitled to from a players point of view he knows his worth and that we cant afford to let him go.
djiksteel goes and we get 5 in - of decent enough quality
ill be happy with that
You seriously think that Duchatelet will release most of the Dijksteel money to LB ? & that Charlton are going to get 5 decent players in over the next 2 days ?
I don’t seriously think anything so wind your neck in, ta

just a permutation - a possibility
Vff
I would also be quite happy for a block of frozen shit from an overhead flight toilet to land on Duchatelet’s head & knock some sense into it but that’s pretty unlikely unfortunately.
Great, if 5 signings happens. I guess anything is possible. Lee Bowyer & Steve Galen continue to surprise.

Wouldn’t be a bad signing, less pace than Grant etc but probably could form a good partnership with Taylor.
Only have to wait a few months to do it all again.
Congratulations this thread has now hit 1 million views, that's a lot of time being wasted about potential rumours and just general no substance chat
Here is to the next million!
Crazy amount of views, got to be a record surely?
Thank goodness we were promoted...
