Says a supporter of a team that has let 3 of the best young players in the league walk away for just over €100,000 combined. :rolleyes: Bray have nearly got that off Shels for Byrne already....Quote:

The clause being so big could ultimately cost you alot of money.Quote:

Yeah we should have let him go on a free if anyting. Paid for his flights over and threw a big going away party for him. Sure we don't want to stand in his way.
now your just being a stupid shels fan..im sure if you asked him he'd tell you what he'd want to do..and thats leave and go...Quote:

Is anybody with me in thinking that Shels have been punished for their own short sightedness / lack of ambition.
A 50% sell-on clause is an outrageous clause to agree to and it suggests to me that when Shels signed Byrne they were of the opinion that he would not ever be worth a huge heap of money.
Therefore they were probably thinking they were "doing" Bray at the time by offering 50% of nothing, as they saw it, instead of a bigger transfer fee.
I'd say it was more a case of Byrne being chased by pratically every club in the league so had all the power in the negociations.
And they took a point home from Cork last season so should be thrown out of the league for holding a bigger club back.Quote:

Agree with that. Byrne was not sold cos oily couldnt stomach handing over €200,000 to Bray. In effect this would mean that Byrne will not be going anywhere and his career will not progress cos oily wont part with 50%. Truly he is scum.Quote:

I want the best for Shels not the best for one player!!
He'd be selling him €400,000. It's because of the deal Byrne signed that shels would only make €200,000 - that's his fault only.Quote:
