polar bear 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 It really seams like davis is very much money oriented,hopefully not. IN what way? This has nothing to do with his wage packet. Prob fulham wanting some sort of payout or something. Some sort of payout ? As I was saying,money oriented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo 1,435 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 If the problem is between Davis and Fulham, I think it is probably a good guess to believe that Davis is holding out for a pay-off from Fulham as he is being sold without putting in a transfer request. It is fairly normal (outrageous if you ask me) for a player to have a loyalty bonus written into their contract, and if they stay for the length of the contract they get a bonus. If the player is sold without asking to go, they always ask for their loyalty bonus because it was not their fault they did not complete the contract. I am guessing Fulham are trying to get out of paying the bonus to a player who made it fairly clear he wanted to go, but fell short of putting it in writing. The player then also wants a singing-on bonus from the club he goes to join, and the agent wants a cut of both bonuses. Not having a go at Davis in particular here, but the whole system stinks if you ask me, and we the punters end up paying for it all. Cheers, good post. Davis doesn't strike me as a money-grabber and this will be quite standard. It's most likely fuelled by the agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveningtimes: And Rangers are also set to complete the signing of Steve Davis on Thursday after the midfielder takes part in Northern Ireland's friendly game with Scotland tomorrow night. Davis still has a couple of financial issues to settle with Fulham. But he has everything agreed with Rangers and should complete formalities in time to be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Aberdeen, with the Ibrox club hopeful Edu's paperwork will be stamped in time for him to also travel to the Granite City.

It will certainly be fuelled by the agent, but the player (any player, not Davis particularly) is not going to turn it down if their agent tells them they can get it.

trueblue1872 2 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well rumor from a fulham web site is that.... It is rumoured to be a disagreement over payments to Davis which he believes he is due as he did not formally ask for a transfer. http://www.fulhamweb.com/-7822-/Premiershi...avis_steven.htm Looks like you were right PB. Must be the cut from the transfer fee they're on about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dramsay1 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Its simply this: Davis has a agreed a deal with rangers and fulham have agreed a deal with Rangers. However as he has a contract with fulham outstanding with bonus's etc and he is taking a wage drop to join us, he expects a sweetner from Fulham. This norm for most players when they leave a club, that they get a percentage from the club they leave and a signing on fee from the club they are joining. Generally the more the club want rid, the more they give them to go. It was similar with hutton last year. Its nothing to worry about as Fulham want him to go as they have plans for the money already..............i believe Dickson Etuhu is whom fulham want to use the money for.......................ironically somebody we were looking at. i like this from the fulhamweb.com "Both parties were desperately trying to resolve the problem on Tuesday, with Smith looking on anxiously after earmarking the 23-year old's poise and workrate as the qualities needed to help Rangers recover from a stuttering start to the season." where and when was he looking anxious?????

fraser77 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Steve Davis' proposed £3million move to Rangers is in danger of falling through, following a snag over personal terms. The Northern Ireland midfielder was all set to complete a permanent switch to Ibrox, after making 12 appearances on loan for Walter Smith's side last season, following agreement between the clubs on a fee. But the deal stalled over a financial hitch which is believed to be between Davis and Fulham. Both parties were desperately trying to resolve the problem on Tuesday, with Smith looking on anxiously after earmarking the 23-year old's poise and workrate as the qualities needed to help Rangers recover from a stuttering start to the season. http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/sport/footba...e.html?ITO=1490 Thoughts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
