charlie adam?

[PlasticRoyale]

He was a bit quiet in the second half when his team needed him - he'll fit right in at Liverpool

[Svlad Cjelli]

Sir Alex has now stoked the fire by saying that Adams's corners are "worth £10 million."

[Royal With Cheese]

its a balancing act- but the longer aDAMS AGITATES FOR A MOVE- THE MORE IT AFFECTS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLUB/PERFORMANCES ON TH EPITCH, the more likely it is that holloway will have to let him go for lower than his initial valuation.


imo -it just shows how well weve dealt with these issues that this hasnt happened more often with out players.

hunt/shory/sidwell was about it from recent times, and even those concluded in a far more amicable fashion than adams' potential move

Both Shorey and Hunt suffered through their expectations of a move - Shorey I was particularly dissappointed in after he played for England. Have no complaints about Sidwell. Throughout the seeing of his contract out he never gave less than 100% to his football and the team. A sad reflection on modern day football is that he is the exception rather than the rule.

thats why i listed them- but the fall outs are no way near as big or as public as it has become with adam

I'm not sure that's the way with Hunt. Didn't he come out in a press conference naming Everton as somewhere he'd like to go to and Reading didn't share his ambitions? Hardly keeping it private!

was never a public falling out though.


mainly because we use relase clauses above a certain ammount.
then there can be no argument- the player agreed it- if that offer has not come in yet- you cant go.
simple

's what blackpool should have done

Admittedly the club didn't comment but you can't get more public than a press conference, can you? It was clear from Hunt's comments that he thought his future lied elsewhere. The mention of a specific club was pretty poor IMO.

Where's the public falling out with Adam though? He's handed in a transfer request, which is the honourable thing to do as it probably means he won't be due some dodgy loyalty bonus, but he hasn't (as far as I'm aware) slagged off the club, manager or his fellow team-mates. The club haven't slagged him off either, they've just said, or Holloway at least, that he's carrying on as normal and loves the club, players and staff etc etc but understandably would like to play for a bigger club for more money if the chance comes along.

I don't see what fall out there is, apart from the media making a song and dance about it that is.

[brendywendy]

admittedly i have conflated big media hoo haa with player / club falling out.

at George W Bush style making up of words.

I think I know what you mean though.

hoo hah is a word!

It's emerged now that Holloway gets a cut of any deal for Charlie Adam - Blackpool chairman must have 100% confidence in him to allow that through.

Do you have a copy of Holloway's contract?

What?

The media are reporting it. Holloway was asked about it and replied 'I'm on far more to keep Blackpool in this league', which I'd suggest confirms it.

Here is the story - Holloway gets a cut of any deal for a player he has coached. Just seems like a conflict of interest to me, one that can only be overcome by absolute trust from the chairman.

[Hoop Blah]

Certainly seems a little odd (if true).

It does however mean that the players futures are tied to the manager to a certain extent. Not sure if it would help or hinder things though.

The club may have done it to tie Holloway down to a cheap basic with performance related bonuses plus these transfer kick backs which will ultimately be related to performance too (the more he increases a players worth by coaching and getting results the better for all parties).

Two words. But I am being Mr. Picky.

Blackpool insist a clause in boss Ian Holloway's contract stating he is due a percentage of any transfer fee from the sale of Charlie Adam is insignificant.

Tangerines chairman Karl Oyston agreed the clause, which does not contravene any regulations, with Holloway when he took over as manager in May 2009.

I'll take bruhaha. This conversation is now terminated.
