Xander11ncfc 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Just a thought with this signing and the clear excitement that is coming from everyone (myself included) and the timing of it all, is there not a business side of this the club need to look at?When the new kits come out this year, would it not be worth it to go the squad numbers (especially RVW''s) out ASAP as well as a special offer on a full name for him (unless one exists already). Can see this being the kind of "shirt sale" signing which many clubs take advantage of, and we should be doing the same.The only downside is it may be a sign towards other players, such as I would guess maybe give him the number 10 shirt or something, which puts Jackson even more out there in terms of less required.Don''t know how anyone else sees this but just a thought, with people going on about this three million, good if he starts earning it back as quick as possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablofarmer 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Good point and agree, only thing being most pete are saying there will be a relegation clause, so nothing will happen on this front until we are mathematically safe. After that let the good times roll! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morisons Prozac 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Kits might change before the next season and it would be tempting fate as in the deal may collapse (although extremely unlikely). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Sort numbers aren''t confirmed until sometime in the summer, not that long before ths start of the season normally, so there won''t be any deal before then I shouldn''t think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Negativity is needed for debate on here. I like to bring alot of it to the party. It helps for a dynamic message board.

crabbycanary 2 Posted March 23, 2013 I''ll spell it out for you if you like.We do not have a game this weekend. It is actually a great time to announce a signing like this. There are another 7 days before we play again, plenty of time for lots of people, players, manager and fans to be able to stop one conversation and start another.Perhaps Holt shouldn''t be allowed to go and do radio commentary on a Carlisle game, or some of our players be allowed to play for their country etc etc..........................

Nobody is taking staying up for granted.I think it should motivate players to give more. Jackson is out of contract in the summer anyway and why would he be an issue unless Becchio, Kamara and Holt all got injured?Golden Coppell keeping okay?

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Ok ok I guess my point is what is the benefit in annoucing this signing now? I''m not saying there isn''t one but I just don''t see why NCFC didnt keep it underwraps till the summer. Despite the leaks in the press and from portugal nobody 100% believed it untill it was confirmed by Hughton today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted March 23, 2013 The benefit might be to get our strikers to play for the place alongside RVW next season.There doesn''t even need to be a benefit - if the Portuguese team have announced it then why would we deny it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xander11ncfc 0 Posted March 23, 2013 This was never a post looking to be saying about next season or two far ahead, I am simply saying when it comes to summer should the club then be thinking about making as much from this as possible.The main focus is of course on the rest of the season, I personally think we just about have enough to stay up and will be fine, but that is not at all why this was posted, was simply wondering others view on the financial side positively of this deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blurboy1980 36 Posted March 23, 2013 Well first it benefits the club in the fact that some fans might be saying great look what we did in January...Nothing..Same board. Same Small mind thinking...now they go wow we just spent 10 Mil on a striker from Europe..damn that is some serious business and I wanna see this team play next year and see who else we might bring in over the summer..SEASON TICKET...SOLD.

Alan_Grey 0 Posted March 23, 2013 To answer "why was this deal announced now", aside from the obvious benefits in doing so, SCP are a public company and would HAVE to tell the markets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
