I read that article, would be interesting to know who the other two clubs were.
Also were Wolves the only club willing to loan Luke back to us and to accept the add ons. |  |

To me it sounds like they were the only club to make a genuine offer so we don't know what the other interested clubs would've offered. |  |

In the absence of a bidding war between Wolves and 1 or more other club it sounds like a good deal really. As long as the add ons come to fruition. | |

But they were interested. We didn't have to sell this January. | |

But if we hadn't sold Matheson in January how would that have sat with the ethos of not holding back a player from progressing if the opportunity arises | |

Two years in the first team was the model laid down by Chris Dunphy. Any less than that and the player doesn't have enough experience to have maximum impact, any more than that and he prevents the next player coming through.
Doesn't look like that model exists anymore. |  |

Whilst I think 'fire sale' might be an exaggeration, I'm still not happy with the way the Matheson deal was concluded. The recent article in the Athletic from the Wolves correspondent (whose name now escapes me) suggests that although there was interest from elsewhere, they were the first team to make a concrete bid. I know there are add-ons, but I still think he's worth far more than the deal we got for him in the current market. The way that fans of other clubs have reacted to the news ("only £1m?!") tells a story. |
It's possible to have a different view, as you and others have, on whether the upfront deal was good value; it's the use of terms like "fire sale" that i was disputing, along with trying to establish whether the poster who used that term has an hidden agenda, which his constant and solely financial posting might suggest
I doubt we'll find out either way, but i also doubt i'm the only one with suspicions

But was that ever tested with a bid from a Premier League club or Championship club pushing for promotion?
Would Dunphy have stuck to his guns in your opinion? | |

I think it was sweetcorn who suggested Matheson's current stock might well be at it's peak
It's certainly arguable | |

The “fire sale” alluded to had nothing to do with Matheson. McGahey, Raff & Cannon were all sold in that Jan transfer window, the prevailing consensus being that it was those sales that were pushed through to provide money for the compensation due to Hill & Beech. |  | | |

The only player who broke this mould was Hogan and that was down to the player.
Would Dunphy have sold Matheson for £1 million? Who knows. We also had different CEOs during his reign, who all may have advised differently and negotiated differently. | |

There's accentuating circumstances in all of these arguments. If we have to sell a player every time a bigger club comes in simply because we can't be seen to be standing in their way, then why would they even offer £1m? If they offered £250k would we have had to accept that because can't be seen to be standing in their way? We still have to get full worth for the player. | |

and that the ‘relative’ loosening of the purse strings had proved a disaster and the club had to seriously contemplate life in league 2 the following season. | |

We've debated this before - our player will in all probability have a release clause which has to be low enough he gets his wish to move up the food chain at the first opportunity and high enough the club reaps some of what it's sown through the Academy - once a bidding club offers that release clause amount the sale proceeds and any other club might outbid, which apparently didn't happen with Luke. We only have to accept an offer if it reaches the contractural obligation (release clause) we have with our player - without which that player wouldn't have signed with us. | |

Hopefully there is flexibility from both parties when these deals are struck. We won't hold a player back as long as the price is right. | |

What if there was no release clause - entirely plausible that there was not one, isn't it? |  |

A hidden agenda sounds a bit cloak and dagger, what are these suspicions you mention? Maybe the poster in question is posting his thoughts on club finances on a thread titled Accounts nothing more. | |

Didn't a fellow poster say there wasn't a sell on clause in Luke's contract?
Maybe there was an unwritten gentleman's agreement. If a club offers £1Million or more and will sign off on our usual list of add ons you can move on. | |

Luke Matheson did not have a release clause in his contract. Not one of our current players do. | |

Fitz has already posted that he's been told there was no release clause with Matheson. £1 million is the new £300k. |  |
