Popular Post Gibbyc 22 Posted August 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2018 Its Nice to hear an SPL club saying we do business correctly........wonder if Richard Gordon and BBC Scotland will report that..... Hamilton chiefs have warned they could be forced to rethink their philosophy on bringing through youth players if Monday’s Lewis Ferguson tribunal goes against them. Accies will discover how much they are to receive from Aberdeen for the midfielder with the two clubs miles apart in their valuation. The Dons have offered £100,000 but Accies are understood to be holding out for over a million. And Hamilton chairman Ronnie MacDonald told the Sun: “If we as a club are doing all this work to produce a Lewis Ferguson, who could be a once-in-ten-years player, the valuation of him has to be realistic otherwise I’m going to think, ‘Why am I bothering?’ “He was in our first-team at 17 and someone offers us £100,000 for him — but he’s good enough to play all four games for Aberdeen in the Europa League? “If Aberdeen had done what Rangers did with Greg Docherty, come in the front door and worked something out, fine, rather than people not returning your calls. “Aberdeen will argue we’re due reimbursement, I’ll argue we’re due compensation. “Compensation is getting reimbursed for an event I hadn’t welcomed happening to me. Reimbursement is them saying ‘You spent £20k a year developing him for five years, here’s 100k’. hammer93, BridgeIsBlue, Gandalf the Blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,057 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I read that yesterday and thought to myself surely that should be back page headlines.....I then realised we were not the offending club so it makes it's way to an inside column Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
