We did, it's quite simple really. From �2.8m to �0 in the space of time it takes a judge to bang his gavel.

That's an excellent point imo. A smaller clause in future for any club could get you more money as with 50% it's going to take an absolutley huge offer for Shels to let him go, and in other cases with a clause that big it would be a similar story. The clause being so big could ultimately cost you alot of money.

no you see its all about shels being too stingey and not letting jayo go onto bigger and better things..theres no two ways about it..that waster ollie byrne messed up a big move for jayo.if anyone deserved it it was him,and some big fat mess got in the way of that,im sure jayo "accepted" it well..

**Slash/ED** · 20/12/2005, 6:45 PM

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...

**Slash/ED** · 20/12/2005, 6:52 PM

I don't care if he wants to go, we're not a f*cking charity. If he wants go he'll wait until we agree a fee like every footballer at a club not in Ireland.

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.

**Slash/ED** · 20/12/2005, 10:27 PM

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.

In 10 years????? You must be joking! Nearly 90 years....just ask Michael Collins.

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.

Yes he is scum for not selling the best palyer in the eL for a paltry �200,000

If I was in Oily's shoes I'd do the same. If I had the chance to hold back the best player in the eL I'd do it at all costs!!

I want the best for Shels not the best for one player!!
