A pox be upon him!.

And you must feel for poor old Wigwam.

They''ll have the same scenario as us, this time next year!.

According to various sources, he should sign before lunch today and train with them in the afternoon.

If I might ask two questions here:

1. When do we get the money?.

2. Will Nigel use it for a new signing before the 31st.

[Being Jan Kristiansen... 0]

Good. Now we can concentrate on the new season.

[Pete Raven 276]

£1.5m now, a further £500,000 after so many appearances, a further £250,000 if Wigan stay up and 25% sell-on clause.

Can I answer them 2 questions how I''d like them to be answered?

1. Now.

2. Yes. A young centre back.

The deal has been done. It''s on the official site, £1.5m up front, another £500k based on appearances, 25% sell on clause, plus £250k if they manage to stay up.

Not a bad deal!

Looks like he couldn''t wait to go! Oh well, we''ll be better off without him.

thats a £250,000 loss then........

as i strongly doubt wigan will stay up!

 

 

As for the deal, felt we could have got alot more, over 2 million with add-ons.

Oh well, after what he has done he deserves to go, and to be honest despite being behind him, im glad to see the back of him

Bog off francis, have fun in the champ next year

Not a bad deal considering!

We can get a decent defender/midfielder for £1.5 million.  And we get 25% if he turns out to be really good at something other than being a pain in the ass!

OTBC!

So, 2m then, assuming it''s not more than about 30 appearances, since I expect Wigan will come down, and he will move on again when they do. (You only have to look at his agent: 10 moves in 16 years, to understand why).

And I expect Worthy has a list of players he''d like to bring in, but it could take weeks for that to happen (remember Hux, Crouch and Harper arrived early Sep 2 years ago) or he may keep his powder dry until Jan and see how we''re doing. We do have 3 good midfielders already, and Charlton looked quality there against Inter!

im exhausted and bored by it, can we concentrate on the
season and now and not waste any more web space on him.

[Pete Raven 276]

We''re laughing either way:

Wigan stay up: We get £250k

Wigan go down: Francis moves on to stay in the top flight and we get 25% of what will be more than £1m...

Seems a good a deal.  For us, not Wigan!

[Evil Monkey 52]

Damn good deal, if you ask me...

So long, and thanks for all the pish...............

Probably not though Peter, OS says it''s 25% of any profit Wigan make on him.

[Tufnell Park Canary 0]

With the add-ons this deal looks pretty good - particularly the 25% of the next transfer. I just hope Worthy is allowed to use some of the money to bolster the squad further.

On with the new season - someneeds to make Francis'' midfield slot their own (step up Jarrett and show us what you can do)

[paul searle 0]

we caught wigan at the right time they cannot get good players in

it looks a sign of panic buying in what they given us

we win either way

Not a bad deal for city? ...... it''s a great deal for city ..... £2mio, the bulk upfront fee plus a sell on clause for a player who we couldn''t keep after everything that''s gone on.

Great trading by the management. It''s a deal, it''s a steal, it''s sale of the #*$*##* century!
