The days when we have a topic discussion on something that "my brother heard from a Shels fan" is really a bad news day.

How is that rumour anymore accurate than actual shels fans posting here directly?Originally Posted by Poor Student
I speculated here a week ago that Shels would ask Bray to reduce sell on fee percentage. Shels would be slow to sell at 400k as would really be just 200k to them so Bray cut will be vital.
Can't see why Bray would even consider dropping the percentage. Doesn't make sense as this money was not budgeted for and would be a complete bonus. Bray are a financially astute club, and as such have no reliance on any money which may come our way from this saga. Shels have far larger wages, expectations etc. and as such Bray should defo tell them to shove their reduction up their arse!
I'd love to invent a time machine then go back in time and win the lottery, buy new players and a stadium. Time machines are brilliant aren't they- Ian Holloway
Here, here and so say all of us!Bray should defo tell them to shove their reduction up their arse!
And then we don't sell and you get......€0
And if you don't sell you miss out on bout 300,000. Shels have far higher running costs and if you don't make the champions league qualifiers for 2007 you's could be fcuked! Yous need the money far more than we do.

No we'll accept 600,000 but at the moment its 400,000. Thats selling the league's top striker for the last three years in a row for €200k. You're having a giraffe
Has an improved offer been made by djurgardens yet or is all this 600,000 stuff just speculation as to what Shels will accept

In other news, no progress has been made in the proposed move of Jason Byrne to Djugardens of Sweden. Fenlon commented: "They made an intial offer of €400,000 and we went back to them and told them that they would have to up their offer. They haven't come back to us as yet and the longer it goes on the less likely it is that it will happen. We're not going to let Jason go for small money, particulary as we'll lose a good proportion of it to Bray because of the sell-on clause."*

Who Cares?!
WOn't see me complainign if he stays!
God
Starting to look more and more likely that he will stay
I have to ask though will his heart be in it next season
I'm sure he would love to move to Djurgardens
You obviously don't know the man so
Says Shels offical accountant here...
We'll be missing out on 200,000 it seems, and he's worth more than that. So if that's all were getting no deal I'd say, looks like that's the case. We keep him, I'm happy, from Brays point of view it's a missed chance, at least we still have our 20+ league goals. Doesn't seem to make sense from their point of view but how and however, if it means we keep Byrne I'm happy.
I dont want to sell byrne for peanuts. I think we can do very well next season. MAybe even get passed the 3 rounds in the inter to to, do well in the setanta cup and possibly win the league.
€200,000 isnt big money but €600,000 is. Its a simple choice really. If Djurgardens and Bray dont co-operate then its no worrie for me.
I love it - Shels saying that if the other two don't cooperate no deal. So should the Swedes increase the offer cause of a sell on clause to someone else? You must be joking!
As for Bray, this is a classic game of poker, Shels asking Bray to reduce their rights now, maybe Shels should have asked for that when they signed the player in the first place!
Shels don't need the money? Is this the same Shels who'll sign Sean Dillon if he doesen't cost any money?
They can play it cool all they like but Shels ain't that well off that can't do without 200,000!
If Bray put in a clause then they should get the money ... end of. Thats what is was there for first day.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
If it was Bray selling and Shels looking for 50% of the sell on, I think we know Ollie would get his 50%.
On another note. Is the initial fee Shels paid for Byrne deducted from the Sell on Clause?
ie if Byrne was sold to shels for 100,000 , Shels sell for 600,000. Do Bray get 50% of the fee or 50% of the profit? ie 300,000 or 250,000.
If they get 50% of the actual fee they will have made the bones of 400,000 altogether from the sale of Byrne and Shels 200,000 profit.
We can do without it if we still have the league's top striker. Its not like we're just being given the money
In today's indo:
Sterling sports report
Sir - I was surprised to read in Gerry McDermott's article today, December 13, that Shelbourne could be selling top scorer Jason Byrne for £600,000Stg
Why was a transfer fee between an Irish and a Sweedish club quoted in the British currency?
An example, I think, of Anglo-centric sports writing.

Will there be (or was there) any sort of reply to that letter??
Who Cares?!
