Galway tried to sign him!
My only point of reference in all this is to wonder how many Alan Cawleys is he worth. 40,000 is two Alan Cawleys which is probably fair.
That's dangerous thinking Student Mullet. If we continue like this, you may wind up converting him into yet more exotic units of currency and deciding that he's definitely not worth 2,000 steak dinners or 40,000 cups of tea.
You can't spell failure without FAI
But St Pat's signed Glen Fitzpatrick from Drogheda for E10k, and he's worth 1000000 Glens. It starts getting confusing then. And we paid Drogheda a tenner to take Doolin, which means Sammo's worth about -£100000000000000!
Derry didn't sign Purdy off us, and we had a 50% subsequent fee clause on Martyn's sale, I've heard, but I assume that's long since expired.
Sure all that means is that Pats overpaid for Glen, who's actually worth 4 cent.

Zimbabwean cents perhaps.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
And that doesn't get adjusted for inflation either.
I was allowing for agent's fees in that fellows.

Back on topic.
Derry seem to have offered something in the region of 20p. http://www.derryjournal.com/journal-...ter.3542388.jp

So they offered only €5k for Quigley last year. We castigate English clubs for offering miserly sums and trying to sell eL clubs short. Derry deserve their goal keeping trouble of last season for that.
What happens if the tribunal sets a fee you can't meet? Can you back out or are you obligated to sign the player?
Yes Derry's goalkeeping problems were well deserved. May they continue to be forced to sign Ola Tidmans and his ilk
Goalkeepers are vital and good ones necessary for success. The last decent team to win anything with a really dodgy keeper were the Brazil 1970 World Cup side.

History shows that the FAI will pay it.
Only if you're Shelbourne though. There isn't a precedent for non-Shelbourne clubs that I'm aware of.

I could be wrong but I think they paid one for Derry as well.
Who was that?
The Alan Murphy transfer went to tribunal I think. I don't know about anyone else paying the fee though.

You are.
Went to tribunal - Galway wanted €50k, they were "awarded" €22k, 10% of which went to his former club in Ballinrobe.
And DCFC paid it - not the FAI.
