Behind Closed Doors

Fee's, fie foe fum, I smell the blood of a deal being done, and we don't know what it is really, do we !

With the news just come through that Robbie Williams in a bizarre shift from singing (only joking) is to join Hudersfield Town for an undisclosed fee from Barnsley.

This hot on the heals of the Gary Taylor-Fletcher transfer to Blackpool, Vital football have decided to look further at this practice of undisclosed fees.

We have covered this before in our recent article.

However, given our ongoing survey on the rights and wrongs of this issue, we decided to look up the transfers that have taken place in July so far involving UK clubs.
This has revealed that 30% have undisclosed fees, clearly a minority.
To which sadly our club now seems to be joining.

This is neither here nor there you may say, but we are a club that unlike most won't pay agents, want clarity and honesty in it's dealings with other clubs and fans, so this position seems strangely at odds with the clubs ethics.

It could of course be a large coincidence, and the reason be, that both Blackpool and Barnsley are the clubs wanting the secrecy not the terriers, but this could be stretching credibility a little.
