Interesting reading.
Now, John Egan is/was probably a better player than Jack. But I’m not sure that is even taken into consideration by a tribunal. Not mentioned in that previous article about the prem player.
John was a year or 2 older when he left and had only been “developed” here for 2 years. That is definitely a consideration. Jack is younger and been developed by us for 10 years +. So more potential. There has also been reported interest from multiple clubs (hopefully demonstrable offers). Salary offered is a factor and I would expect Jack has been offered a big wage by us and a very big wage by MK. Especially if he was wanted by Charlton, Reading, Swansea etc. Doubt he’d go to MK for a lower wage.
We wanted £1mill, Brentford offered £200k raised to £300k and the tribunal settled between.
It says we got £400k plus another £100k for 80 apps and then 20% sell on. That’s pretty decent and it would be nice if we could get close to that for Jack
I bet PS is putting the John Egan situation to MK in his discussions.
