cruixranger 72 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Noticed a bit of the back page of the sun that Hearts will be looking for a development fee for Jason Holt. Funnily I haven't seen it mentioned that Killie had to pay one for Scott Robinson or Dale Carrick. No wonder we sing no one likes us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,519 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I suspect they would have been released by Hearts without the offer of a contract. Holt will have been offered a contract by Hearts but will have turned it down. It's my understanding that they can only ask a transfer fee for a player under 24 who they have taken thro their youth system and they have offered a contract to when his existing one has come to an end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 55,363 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It's to do with offering deals. Hearts are entitled to a development fee for Holt because they offered him a deal to stay.They aren't entitled to a development fee for Robinson because they made no effort to keep him and allowed his contract to expire.As for Carrick, he had his deal terminated early by mutual decision. He wasn't even out of contract like the other two were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_r_sole 366 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 even before holt was training with us hearts were making noises in the press that they would be entitled to a development fee for him... quite straight forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 its not selective at all. It's only fair a team who has developed a player and wish to keep them are entitled to some form of compensation having brought them through the ranks.

borderbear 150 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We got around £200k for Telfer, and I would imagine a tribunal would decide we own Hearts about the same for Holt.Still a lot less than what we will have to pay to get Allan this summer. Holt now, Allan on a pre-contract for nout in January Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Clubs are only entitled to a development fee if they have offered the player a contract equal to or better than their previous terms. Otherwise the player can move freely once his contract expires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfideldo 4,468 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We have just paid a development fee for a 14 year old from Hibs and just received one for a 12 year old from Celtic. So even at the age if a club wants to retain them and they want to leave a development fee is due. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm1979 203 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Should we not be asking for a development fee for jig? The years of service/experience we gave him, and the coaching experience he got from Rangers aswell? ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime69 514 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 slightly off topic but what happens if they move abroad?im sure i read that McGinn was considering a move to MLS and if he goes there St Mirren would be entitled to bugger allthinking about it, while that may be the case its probably his agent trying to spook St Mirren into lowering their price, i doubt he has any intention of going to MLS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right one of the reasons Joe Ledley joined them was because clubs down south would have had to pay quite a bit in compensation for him and were put off.

Kai_Johansen 978 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I understand and accept the principle of a development fee. Of course it only becomes payable if and when he signs for a new club!In this instance I would rather let the boy go than give any money to Hearts, harsh on the boy but feck them. I wonder if Levein would be in the papers demanding a development fee if the boy was training with any other club! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they just let £200k go?I don't dispute the payment of a development fee, what I find strange is the comments made by Levien before any decision has been taken to sign him or not!If there's a fee of 200k then I doubt he will be playing at Ibrox!

We Will Follow Rangers 13,149 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hopefully after having failed to agree a fee it will go to tribunal where latrine's snide comments about how he wasn't good enough for a place at hearts will knock a right few quid off the fee.
