I wonder how much potential lost Transfer income this might cost us going forward... Instead of releasing why not offer them and let them reject it as then we still get some compo but now we get nothing and no sell on etc There must be more behind the scenes that hasn't come out, but equally it's a risky game to offer a contract to someone you don't want and will be burdened with paying their wages. Granted offering them a deal would have a been a risk but to protect there interests (especially with Kai) and if the gut feeling was he was going regardless then it surely is a no brainer to offer something and safeguard a fee knowing he will knock it back... Sandiford is a odd one but clearly Coventry really see something in him and are prepared to give him a couple of years to advance before cutting him loose.

Still really disappointed at whatever happened with Yearn.
I was impressed with Sandiford during the FA cup games too so slightly disappointed to see him leave too actually. It was a little overlooked at the time.
Good to see them both get fixed up though and I hope they do well. It'll be interesting to see if Coventry look to loan them out, and to what level.
Did we keep George Scales?, I can't remember.

Be interesting to see how they get on. From a young team that was punching well above during their FA cup runs, to being released, and then getting contracts higher up the football pyramid, hope we've not dropped some balls here.

I'm pleased for them, will be interesting to see if yearn is loaned out, as allegedly he refused whilst here. And I did say allegedly.

I was told Yearn left because we don't have an U'23 set up to help him kick on. We obviously tend to blood our youngsters out on loan but Yearn didn't seem to do well in Men's football so he would rather go down the youth route for now.

That makes a bit of sense but then surely as I said previously to protect our interests we should have offered him a deal he could then reject which would then enable compensation... instead we give him a free and miss out, not the greatest thought process there from someone....

The club's financial interests are not always the absolute single most important thing when it comes to working with youth players. You may not agree with that approach, but it's how it is.

I would argue if were wanting to continue to improve and develop then financial interests should be paramount and we need to get back to being a conveyer belt of good saleable assets and not tossing away any future fees.

If it's any comfort at all then I *think* we could still make some money on him if he 'makes it' and gets transferred before his 23rd birthday. I don't really understand how it all works but it's called a 'training and solidarity' payment or something and it means that the club who trained a player between the ages of 12 and 21 get compensated each time he's transferred until he's 23.
No idea how much. It's a lot of reading and I'm easily bored.
