I'm sure though there was a slight baws up with that and hastie was actually read out as number 28 and turnbull wasn't even mentioned. (This may have been my middle aged ears playing tricks on me though) So I'm going to take an ultra positive view on it, that the fans who did boo were suffering from OCD and the fact that the team lines were read out wrong enraged them enough to react. I think this is the situation in a nutshell - Speedie read out "28 David Hastie" and there was a bit of pantomime booing at the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistAndShout Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Have it on very good authority that Hastie will sign a pre-contract with Rangers this week, and that Saturday was his last game for the club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Why would it be his last game? We haven't taken that position with other players who have signed pre contracts and Declan Gallagher is still playing for Livi even though we have apparently have him tied up. We are only in contention for the top 6 because of Turnbull and Hastie's goals. We need to play the strongest team possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs a pre-contract with anybody I'd still be putting him in the team every week until he has a bad game. That's what the "pre" in pre-contract entails. While we're paying your wages, you need to keep working for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Why would it be last game surely the more games he plays the bigger the compensation so don’t see that happening and no reason why it should. Jones still playing fir Killie and even scored against Rangers so would be very petty of Motherwell to drop a player just because leaving at end of season . Should Celtic drop Boyata , Dons drop Shinnie as they are also not signing new deals of course not you play your best team no matter what we are playing for top 6 .

TwistAndShout Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don’t necessarily agree with that stance, and as it happens I don’t see it being his last game either. However, I was told he’s signing a pre contract this week and won’t play again. I would love to be wrong, but the information came from someone at the club.

I really hope he’s going to change his mind though based on guys like Turnbull chatting to him before it’s done and dusted.

Yes hope Turnbull and his other pals/ team mates make a difference. Feels like its going on longer than brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsterwood Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yes suspect club knows more and no statement yet. Hope he chooses working with mates and guarantee of 1st team football. Then to leave for much bigger club down south. Just really want to gind out for certain before I buy a Hastie jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Rodgers said goodbye to the Celtic players than right afterwards Scott Bain had to do a press conference where he feigned ignorance of the situation. We only get PR lines through the media.

weeyin Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 In general, it's just bad business to discuss deals, prospective deals or general speculation. Nothing is done until a contract is signed. (And in the case of pre-contracts being signed, even those aren't binding until the real contract is signed in the summer).

However rather than deny true rumours (if that is the case) it would be better surely to have a consistent line of "No comment". By saying that no untruths are told and enquiring parties are none the wiser either way. If Hastie were to leave for another Scots club, the two sides discuss compensation based on an initial offer, no doubt around £50K. Then, if they don't agree it goes to a tribunal.

Is there not a formula involved for calculating the compensation based on how many years the player has been developed by the club and how many first team appearances they have had etc? I think we would be due significantly mire than £50k. Did we not get somewhere in the region of £800k from Leeds for Lee Erwin? I seem to recall being surprised that it was more than we got for Murphy. We should definitely be playing him whilst he is contracted to us. If the other club wants him rested then there should be a suplementary payment involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 There's a FIFA formula, and some associations (like the English FA) have their own formula. The English FA allows for payments for things like sell-on fees and promotions, but I believe the FIFA one is just a single payment. Interestingly, when I was googling for the formula, one example from the English FA is a certain Anthony Straker: Quote ANTHONY STRAKER Anthony Straker joined Aldershot aged 18 having been released by Crystal Palace and went on to make in the region of 200 appearances in the Conference and League Two. He rejected a new contract, and aged 22 signed for Southend United on a two year deal. The PFCC decided that Southend United should pay Aldershot an initial compensation fee of £17,500. Additionally, Southend United would pay an additional £5,000 if they won promotion to League One during the two year contract. Southend will also pay Aldershot 20% of any profit it makes from selling the player to another club at any point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Adding to the above, there are different rules when player's contracts have expired and the player is moving to a club in the same association, so it's quite possible if Hastie does move to Rangers after his contract is up, we might end up with the bare minimum payment. It seems that calculation is specific to each assocation, so I presume SFA rules apply. Lee Erwin was changing associations and moving to a higher tier club, so the calcuation applied there was more benficial to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
