Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:02 pm

Originally the deal was worth 2.75m but since we got promoted, we had to pay a 1m promotion bonus. :o

Surely there was a games played clause added? Ie promotion after he played x amount of games?

Don't thinkso, only Promotion bonus unfortunately, with the deal being on the final day of the Summer window I can't help but feel the deal was rushed and didn't think right about this.

No doubt a lot of money has been paid up upon promotion.
Everything Ridsdale did had a promotion bonus attached.

You dont think so? but you know there IS a £1m promotion bonus :lol: Thats why there are LAWYERS. Maynard could have been hit by a bus day one and be pushing up the daisy's. Of course there will be clauses in the contract

I wasn't thinking more debt he reconstructed lol

We had a number of winding up orders from people at the same time as hmrc. Tan paid hmrc but I'm sure I read loads on PR using future income upon promotion.

You may be right but I would be surprised if we paid £3.75 mill for Maynard. More likely to have been £1.75 mill up front with £1 mill after promotion. Although, you could be right.

I am sure months before we got Maynard or some time when we got him this was made aware of on the board.
