Carlisle or Blackpool?
I agree. Surely we’re the more likely to get to the championship in the next couple of years.
The leak has come from Carlisle, and the reason they've leaked is that there's a very real chance the deal could come off.
Yes to an extent but it's a risk. He may not even get a regular start for us. In the same division. Simmo knows him and got the best out of him in his first fully pro season and will plan around him this season. Continue to progress in L1 and he'll have Championship interest by January.
True, but we could be well on the way to the Championship next January and he potentially could have some nice bonuses inserted in a contract.
I mean a risk for him. I can understand why at the moment he is preferring to stay put.
Ah
If Carlisle is the height of his ambition then he is probably best staying there. But I would be amazed if that is the case. All professional players want to play at the highest level they can achieve and maximise their income while they can. I believe Blackpool offer a better route than Carlisle.
Nobody is saying that Carlisle is the height of his ambition.
We don't know how much we tried to keep him do we? It's not the KO days where it was, 'I'll drive him there myself'.
You could argue the other way. He starts well and a cship club might come in for him late August or January.
That's called tapping up Kurt, it's banned.
Was he really likely to say ‘see ya… I’m off to the seaside’?
Moxon might not have intentions to leave, but Graham Kavanagh might have other ideas for him
Wow, you sound like a really nice character, full of wisdom, wit and intellectual knowledge, who has obviously watched Moxon over a number of seasons, I bet Mox is absolutely thrilled he's not going to play in front of fans like you.
Of course he'll tell you that. Declan Rice said the same to West Ham fans a few weeks ago
Correct he did.
Potentially yes. I guess I just see us as the slightly more ambitious club. Say he did well for us this season, we went up, then he could play a season in the championship before a bigger budget Championship club came in for him.
My guess would be that CU have offered him increased money and a X year deal in favour of a good release clause and that the player gets a cut of any release clause met minus a base price (probably 500-750k), so maybe £1.2m - 700k = 500k with 20% going to the player.
I supposed in this way, rumours or initial interest in your player benefits both your club and the player later.
No it isn’t

If Carlisle started conversations with the player after they won at Wembley and he still hasn't signed an extension, it looks like he's either wanting a move now or happy to run his contract down to be free in 11 months time.Simmo (emphasis mine): “We had an inquiry from this club a couple of weeks ago for us to name our price and, fair play to Nigel Clibbens, he came to me and asked what I thought, and I said I don’t want him to go.
“He said that's good because I've told them he's not for sale. There's no price to give because he's not for sale. And that's what's happened.
“It was an offer that was made and it was all done officially. There's nothing underhand done by the club who made the offer. It was just turned down flatly because we all believe that with Owen Moxon in our side we've got a better chance of being successful.”
MANAGER: The conversations are ongoing
Following the statement made by the Holdings Board on the Owen Moxon transfer bid speculation last week, manager Paul Simpson clarified that an offer is on the table for the popular midfielder which will, if accepted, secure his services at Brunton Park beyond the 12-months he currently has left to
