Really interesting that
Fascinating about Maddison, you wonder how motivated he'll be during his spell with Hull. He'll want to shine personally, stick a few "screamers into the top corner" for the youtube video his agents will hawk around, but will he bust his gut for the team?1 -
Could be interesting when we play Hull away.0

Doesn’t sound like anyone has paid Maddison what he thinks he’s worth0

Really great insight of a footi club.Admire his honesty and glad we dodged a bullet there.MS comes out of it well to.1

you’ve definitely ensured you’ll sidestep any ammunition coming your way from @swords_alive by not referring to dodging a bullet here0 -
Who was it that said transfer fees go down towards the end of the window? Looks like we have an example right in front of us with PBoro and MM.
On the other hand, if we assume that DMac’s version of events are true, it does seem as though MS may have been a bit eager/naive in how he played the MM saga.
Eager to get a “name” signing in the building, he agreed to pay an inflated price a couple of weeks before the window closed.
That later worked to our disadvantage when we couldn’t agree terms with the player so coming back to PBoro with a lower offer to counterbalance the overall cost was never going to be taken kindly.
Others have already said it may well be a blessing in disguise that we didn’t get him (I agree with them) so hopefully MS can learn from the experience.1 -

Definitely dodged a bullet with MM
What a straight up chairman DM is, posh fans should feel lucky to have him IMO3 -
Toney is worth that, easy. And no, it is not out of our league. Sign him to a 4-year deal and only 1/4 of that fee counts against FFP limits. This means it only adds £2.5 mil to FFP spend/cap per year. Not at all a problem. Did I mention CAFC can lose ££39M over 3 years and this year we are practically breaking even? Not to mention in two years, much like every other goal-scoring machine, he would probably be sold for 2x that. Meaning that not only can we afford it, it’s possibly a profitable investment.Bedsaddick said:

PWR. Dodged a bullet there. Bloke sounds like a right bellend. Shows we were willing to spend money on a player we really wanted but 1.5m plus sounds a bad deal from our point of view imo. Glad he said no. Don't want to sign anyone who has to be persuaded to talk to us. MacAnthony a breath of fresh air though. Fair play to him.
Can we assume MS was happy for him to go into such detail?0 -
Just need to compare 2 players in 2 January transfer windows. Williams & Maddison. William's took a pay CUT to join us.....Maddison wanted MORE than any club would offer him.

Could be that Bowyer, Gallen and MS recognise Peterborough do things well, their scouting system is excellent and they recognise that the players they like we often like. So he was trying to gain some trust for the future. Think we may well go shopping there again.Callumcafc said:Who was it that said transfer fees go down towards the end of the window?

Good video and DM seems like a good bloke. MM however sounds like a very frustrating character. How much did he want, I wonder.0

Seems we all agree that the ballistic projectile has been well and truly sidestepped.19

I’ve liked the Peterborough chairman for some time. He is honest, up front and thinks long term. Hope their fans are smart enough to give him a chance to get them promoted. One of the good guys.4

Great video. This guy is a smart cookie and very honest. Posh fans are lucky to have him. Glad we did not sign the twat !1

Six minutes late my friend, six whole minutes.1 -
very interesting video. Not just about Maddison but about the way transfer windows and FPP work .
Maddison definitely not one for us.0 -

Seems like a repeat of what we had with Ben Reeves. Glad we did not make the same mistake twice.

Found that fascinating to be honest. Makes you realise how bizarre, fragile and time consuming doing transfers can be. Very enlightening.
Im glad we didn’t get Maddison; not sure we need an ego competition for Lyle.
Maybe shows that come summer the funds will be available for players but we won’t go silly with wages which is very sensible.1 -
Shame it's not the same FFP in the champ. I'm not too surprised MM wanted wages towards Premiership. Hope he does well at Hull, as their setup suits him, but I'm glad we don't have him. With his temprement Bowyer would have eventually dropped him then we'd be stuck with a deadweight. Always thought his pace was the question mark, now it seems he just can't help himself forwards.

For that money there are players out there who actually want to put on the cafc shirt and give 100% watch this space this summer got a good feeling will we come good with signings .
good that it showed ms and the team was trying to get perm deals done but wasnt going to mugged off over wages
God this Madison chap has one high opinion of himself or that his agent has!0 -
Great video. The days when footballers earned about four times as much as, say, coal miners - and were expected to be most grateful to the club owners for employing them - is well and truly gone. Now, an arrogant twat like Maddison could practically bankrupt a club on his own, by his wage demands.
Should there be wage ceilings for clubs out of the premiership?
I thought the info about EFL dictating FFP rules and instructing clubs not to go over the wire most interesting.1 -
Be interesting if he stays at Hull, they cant pay the wages he wants either!0
-
I think we evaded some ammunition there.1
-
Ok hands up from me now the facts are out there. He sounds like an utter tool, Dmac knows what is a good wage because Peterborough pay some of the best wages in league 1. If he says we offered him a fair deal then we did. Although it's a shame we have missed out an undoubtedly talented player, it's a good thing we didn't submit to the typical modern ego maniac footballer. So yeah apologies from me and fair play to Dmac for his video, likeable guy.
Worth adding I like the deal we offered, very reasonable and not throwing money away. Would have been a good deal had he not been a tool5 -
He tells you the breakdown in the video, 500k upfront, 500k after 50 appearances and 500k if we get promoted.Henry Irving said:£1.5m guaranteed payable in stage plus £0.5m after 50 games, another £0.5m if we get promoted to EPL plus a sell on percentage.
So we were willing to spend £1.5m albeit not all of it now.
So do we have money?0 -
Not sure that's true. 500k upfront and the total isn't an inflated price for a player with his record. Yes he only had 6 months less but it was still a fair bit less than Grant. With other clubs interested there was also no guarantee he would have been available a week or two later.Callumcafc said:Who was it that said transfer fees go down towards the end of the window?

No, he says £1.5m guaranteed but in stages then the appearance and promotion clauses on top of the £1.5mcafcfan1990 said:
