Some extra money coming our way?

Good luck Carl.

You deserve the opportunity to progress.

Must be pleasing for Sammy and Mark to see a player who they had faith in go to a Championship club.

Over to you Mark Duffy!!!!!!!!



Closer to home, I understand that Peter Davenport has been doing some scouting for us of late.

[ockers]

understand from whom?

loan signing maybe?

[Christies Child]

Mike Hunt at Southport

[Thread edit] Here's what you might have missed. "Mike Hunt" posts on Southport forum. Obvious reference to 'Porky's' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084522/ a 1982 comedy. "Obvious" reference only 'obvious' to those of us of a certain age. Thread deteriorated into alternative versions of the same line and an occasional Simpson's reference. Because not everyone understood the joke, it got personal. If it wasn't for the relevance of the original posting, the thread would be locked instead of clearing it up.

In other words, you missed nothing.

I wonder for how much?

On TFF County fans seemed to think he would prob go cheap due to their problems.

All the best, Bakes!

I had a feeling it would be an undisclosed fee so that they can get around paying us the full amount.

[Southern Shrimp]

Anyone know what sort of cut we are due from Stockport? Would love to know how much he has gone for, around £500k would seem sensible to me given the current transfer/financial climate

[The Marksman]

Baker has signed a three-year deal as County paid £175,000 for his services. That figure could rise to £225,000 dependant on appearances.

So we're due nowt.

well no thats a completely seperate part of the first deal, we sold him for £175,000 and in that transfer we put a clause that if Carl played a certain amount of games for them i.e 50 games then they would have to pay us an extra £50,000 but we also had a sell on clause in the contract meaning that we will get X% of whatever the next transfer fee is.

Unless you are fully aware of the original deal and all its clauses, then I would suggest that this is speculation on your part.

However if it was ever posted on SVs by an official of our club stating the precise details of the deal then I will gladly withdraw my comments. But as the Board (quite rightly) keep such dealings private then I doubt that I will have to withdraw my comment.

NOTE: I suspect that there will be many SVs no doubt searching through previous posts and in particular details of the precise deal to prove me wrong.......again!

As the King of Speculation it is a bit rich accusing someone else of speculation.

Especially when it is not speculation. It is a quote from the Stockport newspaper report that was linked above.

Speculation is when you are reduced to quoting other gossip mongers from other websites to cobble some kind of post together.

If you want a 'No speculation' rule Neil, we could put it to the vote, but I suspect you would be reduced to about two posts a day if it happenned!

I only responded to the highlighted comment that we would receive nothing from the deal due to the lack of appearances. On what was that post based? Certainly not in any newspaper articles that i have read or any postings elsewhere.

As for accusing me of 'speculation' that's suggesting that I [b]deliberately [b]post information that i know [/b]to be untrue. If that is what you think then you are most certainly wrong and I resent the implication especially from yourself. [/b]

About six posts up.

Neil

You accused other members of 'speculation'. Your definition of 'Speculation' was "Unless you are fully aware of the original deal and all its clauses, then I would suggest that this is speculation on your part"

If that is your personal rule from now on, I will watch with interest.

Posting information that is known to be untrue is not 'speculation' in my book, that is malicious lying. I dont think you do that at all. I do think that you post rumours, innuendo and unfounded speculation. The Peter Davenport rumour above is a prime example of that. An annonymous poster that you dont know from Adam from a Southport site posts it and all of a sudden it is your "understanding".

Maybe a "Think twice before posting" policy could be advised? Less is more. Quality is lost in quantity.

Sorry if I have upset you, not my intention. We have always got on. But as a friend I would say you are in danger of getting lost in your own hype.

Carl Baker sub for Coventry today

[outsider]

But Clinton Morrison, replacing and injured Aron Gunnarsson in the closing moments, made sure of the points for Chris Coleman's side with a typical poachers goal two minutes into six minutes of added time.

Baker started the move with some excellent skill on the left flank before cutting inside and using his strength to get the ball to Morrison.

His first shot forced an excellent save out of Steele who palmed the ball away from his goal as far as Best on the goal-line, his delicate half-volley cross finding Morrison to head home inside the six-yard area and help lift City to 14th in the Championship table.

Good luck Carl.

You deserve the opportunity to progress.

Must be pleasing for Sammy and Mark to see a player who they had faith in go to a Championship club.

Over to you Mark Duffy!!!!!!!!

Lol. He enjoys so much faith he hardly starts!

Closer to home, I understand that Peter Davenport has been doing some scouting for us of late.

Duffy plays well in the hole but hasn't the physicall attributes to be an out and out winger.

As for you Mellow, I've missed you.
