Slightly disturbing footnote to an article I read earlier on Charlie Taylor. Apparently we will only receive a tribunal fee if he moves to another English club. Rumour has it that some Scottish clubs are now showing an interest. If I've understood things correctly that would mean we would get the grand sum of £0 if he heads North of the border. Burnley still the current favourite to get him. If we get £5m I'll be happy enough. Good riddance.
{Ed001's Note - you still get a fee, but it is only a small fee if he goes to Scotland, I forget how much now, but it is less than a million.}

Just read this myself. We could get well and truly shafted if he goes to Celtic. Appreciate that there would be a fee but only nominal as Ed points out. MM

What's to stop him going to any Scottish club for £1m and they sell straight away to say West Bromwich for £2m. Therefore they get for him for £3m less than they would from us!

Celtic? Scottish league? He obviously like to test himself against some of the best attacking players in the world 😂

Not as though we are personally sharing the fee though, so I won't lose any sleep over it. If he wants to play in Scotland good luck with that

I smell a conspiracy theory Danum! MM

Oh yes MM. And we love a conspiracy theory 😁. I don't think JFK's death was any accident either

Oh no! I didn't even know Jimmy Floyd Kasslebank had died! 😱

When did jim die? How? Where? Who did it?

Think I saw figures as low as £350k if he goes Scotland side. Luckily, if the rumour mill is to be believed, he is set to trade in the small market town of Leeds for the heady bright city lights of Burnley (so big fee, yay) . at least he got out of going to the tiny fishing village of Liverpool with his end of season antics.

I know Celtic are a great club, with great history, and European football, but it's not quite like playing premier league, is it? He'd be better staying with us for another couple of seasons, until we're back in the big time, surely?

Really bright? Would you?

Of course I would Aus; but that because I'm Leeds til I die!
