Hope the move works out for him.
Transfers from the LoI to England have been very hit and miss. Until there's a greater trend of success, I doubt any player will command a (final) fee in 7 figures.

initial fee of 350k rising to 600k based on appearances. Cant help but feel he is worth more. Quality player, really hope he shines over there.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

That money is brutal. LOI have to get a hold of this and sort it out. All other European leagues command and rely on more money, we have to do the same.

How much was the sell on clause does anyone know?

500k seems to the upper level at the moment. Even with the O'Donovan & Bennet deals not sure how much was up front. It is in the sellers interest to inflate the price as much as possible as means better chance of higher price for next player.
E350k would be about 300k sterling as exchange rate has changed.
Still would have liked to see him go for more money.
They should have a clause where Pat's get more money if he earns a few caps. After his move to England I expect him to be in the Irish squad before too long. (He should be there already, obviously).
final fee of 600k isnt bad. I wouldve tried holding out for a final figure around the 800k mark but i suppose they cant risk having clubs pull out of the deal because the money is needed

To be honest, if United are to get €370,000 for Jay O'Shea, I would have thought Fahey would have been worth more than €600,000, but then again he has had one unsuccessful stint over there, so maybe its a fair price
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
600k with ad ons and a sell on clause (presuming there is one) is not a bad deal. He probably is worth more but as others have said Pats need the money and Fahey really wanted to move.
Does any one reckon now that he will be playing in england he will get a call off trap?

Pat's should have shown a bit of backbone instead of accepting his departure as a fait accompli. He has two years on his contract and he's not on astronomical money. You'd swear he'd forgotten he was a washed up p1sshead with no future when Pat's dragged him out of the gutter (both times.)
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
I think its because most of us expect him to be back soon enough anyway...
