Hear the Club and Aberdeen FC have reached an amicable agreement re both the fee and sell on clause , ruling out the need for a Tribunal.

Maybe that is why we can afford to bring in the 2 new signings this week that Canning was talking about.

Ronnie laying it on thick in the Sun re Ferguson. There is a danger that this kind of story backfires and gets up the tribunal’s nose. We shall see. The moral of the story is tie future talents up on lengthy contracts.

CASH VITAL
Hamilton Accies say Lewis Ferguson tribunal decision could deal a blow to their club philosophy of bringing through youngsters
Aberdeen have offered only £100,000 for the midfielder while Accies value him at the £1.2million they got from Wigan for James McCarthy in 2009

Accies say their approach could be jeopardised if the tribunal let the Dons land the youngster on the cheap.
Hamilton chairman Ronnie MacDonald will point to the cases of Alfie Mawson, Greg Docherty and Charlie Telfer which he says shows they should be weighed in.
MacDonald said: “If we as a club are doing all this work to produce a Lewis Ferguson, who could be a once-in-ten-years player, the valuation of him has to be realistic otherwise I’m going to think, ‘Why am I bothering?’
“He was in our first-team at 17 and someone offers us £100,000 for him — but he’s good enough to play all four games for Aberdeen in the Europa League?
“If Aberdeen had done what Rangers did with Greg Docherty, come in the front door and worked something out, fine, rather than people not returning your calls.
“Aberdeen will argue we’re due reimbursement, I’ll argue we’re due compensation.
“Compensation is getting reimbursed for an event I hadn’t welcomed happening to me. Reimbursement is them saying ‘You spent £20k a year developing him for five years, here’s 100k’.
MacDonald is concerned too by Livingston following Falkirk in scrapping their youth system and fears young players will be missed as youth opportunities grow scarcer.
He said: “That’s a worrying trend and it’s really disappointing. It’s the cart going in front of the horse. It’s the youth policy that sustains us staying in the league.”

Plenty of time to vent fury after the Tribunal sets the fee at £115,000 plus 0.5% of any future transfer fee.
You just know they are going to favour the Sheep.

Ronnie MacDonald's public comments are welcome and timely. There's a risk they could backfire, but there's a bigger risk in saying nothing.

In the pre-Bosman era, tyrants like Jim McLean at Dundee United could force young players into long contracts. Thankfully that era is over, but clubs need to be protected from collusion between predators like Aberdeen and thankless prospects like Ferguson.

Accies developed Ferguson into the player he is - a goal scoring midfielder, an immediate fixture in a team competing in Europe and the top end of the SPL. His true value must be in the high hundreds of thousands, and if the tribunal's doing its job it should recognise that. Accies have offered a negotiating position, as have Aberdeen - I'd settle for the mid-point, which is £650,000.

The fact that the Sheep ignored attempts by Accies to negotiate hopefully comes back to bite their woolly bums.

As I exclusively revealed weeks ago, Ferguson's impressive performances since joining the Sheep matter not a jot .
Not taken into account.
Gonna get Royally shafted on Monday.

I heard an explanation of the formula used by the tribunal for the first time today on Sport sound. Mind you it came from Father Ferguson but hey he should know ;) There are 3 elements viz. time spent at Accies, wages paid and contract offered. What happens after he left Accies has no relevance. Based on that Richard Gordon said he expected the fee to be 250k a figure I mentioned when this debate started. Cant see us getting much more than that. I have no idea if the tribunal can set a sell on percentage.

I'd have thought Aberdeen would be "happy" with anything up to about £300k. Not more. Anyone got any genuine inside info - as opposed to their own guesses?

Rumour I'm hearing is about £250k. The Times is reporting "a little over £200,000". Absolute steal.
