Scunny announce Duffy signing

[Heysham_red]

The bookies must rate him anyway as he is only 4/1 to score against Burnley

Same odds as Paul Mullin and he's a striker!

Mullin is 4/1 to score against Burnley? I didn't know Mullins signed for Scunthorpe too. We kept that one quiet.

[Paul Mac]

Yeah its un-disclsoed so we cant see how badly shanked we got in terms of price for Duffy.

We certainly didn't get "shanked".

[marky No.1]

Hereford Fans are going through exactly the same thing. Their star striker, the "beast" who has been scoring goals for fun to head them away from relegation is about to go to Reading

lif we keep letting our better players leave that will never happen.

When a bigger club (or company) want you or one of your assets and are offering good money then you take it.

If a multi national distribution company decided to buy you out (or even Northern Print Distribution ) you'd take the money....wouldn't you?

and neil it all depended on how much I was offered to be honest!!!

trouble is, it wasn't a great analogy. A better one would be that a massive distribution company sees what you've done and like it. You reckoned a year ago that the value of the company was £250,000. The big company offer to buy you out for £120,000. Naturally, you say no. So then they make it clear they are coming for you and will throw whatever resources it takes to put you out of business. You know you can't compete with them and that in eight months time, your company will be worthless. Then the big organisation will just hoover up all your business for free. The only reason they are prepared to pay you anything right now is to avoid the risk of another big company coming in in eight months time to grab a slice.

Now you are faced with a decision of take a cut price offer of £120,000 or go down grumbling about how unfair it all is? Either way, in eight months time, you'll have no business.

So would you cash in now?

How about buying a Carwash with the proceeds?

How about the club tell us how much we got!
Whether it was £100,000 or £60,000 we've been done like a kipper!

So you'd have kept him until the end of the season and then he could have left for free? We've not been done up at all, unless you want to have a go at the Bosman ruling in the first place! The rules have been there for a little while now, since Mark Duffy was at primary school in fact, so everyone knows the situation, in particular the parasites, I mean, football agents...

We got more than £100,000 for him eez.

[RedRedWine1]

Oooowwww, you can't leave it at that....was it £100,000.01 and a bag of peanuts for me and my C block chums??? Spill the beans, it's only rumours anyway.

How much more clever clogs?

[MfcChris]

No way did we get more than £100k.

[shrimpnsave]

between 30 and 40k i would say considering he could have walked for free at the end of the season........

imo i dont think he is ready to play in the championship.........

[RedRedWine1]

No way did we get more than £100k.

Perhaps we can sign Hendrie on a 5-year deal now then Mr Plates???

[Matty the Shrimp]

I heard we have a bid on a certain winger. In the region of 150k. This was from a damn reliable source.

Trust me. And Hendries missus has just moved everything to the area and got a job here from the midlands. Believe it or not.

Is it Sean Clancy?

[N Saban]

Sean are you his agent????????

[Seasider9601]

Sean are you his agent????????

I wish I was Sean Clancy's sisters agent ......

[outsider]

More chance of Tom Clancy

[Christies Child]

It's not April yet......

Just got a 'phone call to say that 'low flying pigs' have been seen over The Globe Arena....

Nothing unusual their CC. They were like carrier pigeons delivering Hendries 5-year deal!

As Abraham Lincoln once said, you can fool some people all the time.....

[ezz]

If we got less than 100k which is what i'm personally guessing, he's probably woth more to us till the end of the season.

Its an undisclosed figure, unless your on the board you dont know.

[steve mfc]

Duffy straight into the side to play Burnley, will be interesting to see how he does at that level.

[james456]

Listening to the Scunny game on iron player. Scrappy game but Duffs looking the second best player on the pitch apparently - behind Chris Eagles.

[DTSJim]

Interesting quote from someone on the Scunny forum (you can tell I'm avoiding revision)

thought Duffy showed more promise in his first game than Thommo has in 30 months.
