Scott Twine - Pedalo_menders - 26-06-2022
Sold to Burnley for an undisclosed fee.
Good player. Shame the mighty MK dons outbid us for him and cashed in a year later.
RE: Scott Twine - Hammie - 26-06-2022
Another club who acquired a stadium paid for by someone else. Great set up there to be honest. As my first trip this season I was really impressed. Shame about the franchise and all that but they have now built the foundations for a club that can eventually only head one way and that's up.
Let's hope we can now do similar having acquired their CEO.
RE: Scott Twine - Pedalo_menders - 26-06-2022
Burnley mate of mine thinks they paid £5M (based 100% on hearsay of course)
RE: Scott Twine - Cunninglinguist - 27-06-2022
Barmys Burnley mate thought it was closer to 10 million.

My Burnley mate says £15m
RE: Scott Twine - dsmg - 27-06-2022
20 anyone?
RE: Scott Twine - slayer - 27-06-2022
You're well behind me lads, my Burnley friend says £22m
RE: Scott Twine - bluetagagain - 27-06-2022
A good mate of mine called Terph Moore reckons it £30m + £1m a goal. Seems a lot but apparently he’s the next Messi

He's hardly in the know if he forgot to mention the £20 million in further installments and the £75 million buy-out clause.

That CEO is now playing with a completely different deck of cards. The Scott Twines of this world won’t be ending up here.

Would he have left a club that he has helped build to come to one that would give him no chance to build similar?

Why ever not?
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 27-06-2022
Because the club believe they can create a sellable asset only by starting with a young/free player. Clearly developing an established player who comes for a fee does not register in their plans. Yet the potential gains in doing that are almost always bigger. Twine is an example.

What about paying fees for Hume and Morrell?
You really think Twine was established?
There wasn’t a fee for Twine.
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 27-06-2022
Fee/wages - whichever way you look at it, the owners constrict themselves possibly to their detriment (Twine a case in point). Speculate to accumulate. How else do you become a billionaire,
RE: Scott Twine - Pompeyg100 - 27-06-2022
Did you miss my questions?
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 28-06-2022
No - just had better things to do.
FWIW - Morrrell’s not really in this category, Hume maybe.
But regardless, the point I initially made was the approach of MKD and PFC is very different. They have demonstrated it with the lad that went to Celtic too.
I’d be delighted to be proved wrong, but I really doubt it. Another TW under the Eisner will show one way or the other.

Lol but still replied to the post.
I think you’ve already been proved wrong with the fact that fees were paid for Morrel and Humes. Humes actually is an established player also.
We missed out on Twine for reasons we don’t know but the fact is that the owners have publicly stated and have done exactly what you want them to.
I’m sure MKD have missed out on players to.
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 28-06-2022
Yeah, I knew about their fees but I was really focusing on younger players who could be developed. Morrell isn’t going to get any better, Hume maybe. The last players we paid for, developed and sold on for profit? Clarke/Lowe. That series of events didn’t happen solely under the Eisners (just the selling of course). They have not succeeded in doing that.

You mean players like Reeco and Liam Vincent?
Curtis will be one when he is sold.
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 28-06-2022
Reeco - no chance
Vincent - no-one knows yet
The fact Curtis may be the first in 4 or 5 years hardly demonstrates a strong foundation for the EWYK policy.

They aren’t all going to work out, you said they won’t do it but they have.
Jamal Lowe is a good example.
DC needs to find the players doesn’t he, unless you want the Eisners out scouting?
RE: Scott Twine - briefcase_wanchor - 28-06-2022
Remember Lowe was a Trust acquisition, so the credit goes to them.
DC can only do as much as he is allowed to. Not getting someone in to spearhead recruitment has not helped. Who knows where the blame lies for that.
RE: Scott Twine - Hammie - 28-06-2022
Reading all of the above we seem to have missed the point that our scouting network with expensive director has singularly failed. Presumably why a lot have left the club.
RE: Scott Twine - Pedalo_menders - 30-06-2022
I'm ready for an apology.
