Gazc 7,140 Posted November 5, 2015 Not totally up to speed as to how these things work. Would we get a loan fee each year if he rides elsewhere? Might that be the best way to work it? Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted November 5, 2015 Maybe, but would it not be in Edinburgh`s best interests giving the current climate to bring in a large sum of money to the club. and then pass it onto a certain 3rd party for services rendered . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaramanga 908 Posted November 5, 2015 what a selling club values a rider at and what a buying club values the same rider is a different story and usualy they meet somewhere in the middle but arnt loan fees decided by different bands bassed on the riders average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben91 1,743 Posted November 5, 2015 Somebody has to own a rider. It makes sense to own a rider and save a loan fee, and also be in a position to get a loan fee if he is not in your team. Remember, apart from the reasons i have just stated, each club is required to own assets to a certain value, and if you don't, the difference between the actual value and the bond value has to be paid as a bond. Far better to have a rider of that value, and get loan fees if you are not using them. It would save a lot of hassle if riders were only tied to a club for the length of their contract at said club though. Not sure how the system works in Poland for example but I'd imagine that riders are free to do as they please once their contracts are up over there? Didn't realise the bit about clubs having to own riders to a specific value, surely this is partly responsible for clubs bring overseas riders in on assessed averages just to meet said criteria?

Monarchlad 32 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) I suppose if we remember price the Tigers were forced to pay for Lawson and Summers....£40k for Cookie is about right Edited November 5, 2015 by Monarchlad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, but if the bond for that promotion is say £30K, and the assets value is £20k, then £10K is needed to complete the bond value. It would pay to have an asset to either save a loan fee, or create a loan income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in all serious nobody in the EL is going to pay that much for a rider 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
