Shane Long Sweep

[Snowball]

What's the consensus opinion?

My take is 4.5 M up front, and 6-7M overall, but God knows for sure.






PS


Surprised to see that Shane is 5-4 against reaching double figures in the Prem this season

Surprised that the odds are shorter or longer?

Not that many strikers get 10 in the Prem. I thought he'd be 3 or 4 to 1

Chronicle today?


EADING manager Brian McDermott has no idea whether he has cash to spend despite a summer of sales at Madejski Stadium.

Shane Long completed his £7.5 million transfer to West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday just a few weeks after Matt Mills moved to Saturday's Championship opponents Leicester City for £5.5 million.

Long's club-record move eclipsed the £7 million Royals received for Gylfi Sigurdsson when he moved to Hoffenheim a year ago.

They can't even spell Reading.

I think that its def 4.5m CASH now. This seems to have been the deal-maker. Probably Mills cash is all spread out (as Leics have none) so we need this for salaries and tax.

Then the rest is probably, as widely reported, £2m to 3.5m in addons.

I suspect this includes a 20% sell on though - given Doyle's situation we would be foolish not to insist on one. This would be worth say £1m of the add ons. Another sizeable chunk is probably due if WBA stay up - this is insuring the risk of being a champ club owing us money. We're probably confident with Hodgson in charge that they stay up so have agreed to a big chunk. Then there might be something on appearances - say over 30 and its 250k more and maybe the same again for over 10 goals (they missed a lot of pens last season )

In this confusion I cannot see how you can possibly pay out on the sweepstake! Unless you split 3 ways between 4.5m/6m and 7.5m.

I mean technically the 4.5m person is right at this present moment in time!

You could always wait three years then write to the club!

i demand all proceeds for the sweep be donated to me, because i called shambles first

spoke to my RFC source today.
Apparently due to some faffing from madejski, hammond only got 5.5 million for shane long. Not happy with this.

[Woodcote Royal]

I would be happy with that.

[Handsome Man]

Happy with it all going to charity or with whoever guessed £6.5 million as that seems to be the most widely-quoted value - how do I pay my tenner in any case?

[dogzbollox]

Just donate all the money to the charity...

Which charity?........... the DBBF is a good one

[Snowball]

Seing as nobody actually paid any money in...

[Woodcote Royal]

But I thought we all agreed that we would.............................do you have an address or website for the Statisticians Benevolent Fund?

[Snowball]

Send the money to me. I'll make sure it gets put to good use...
