Wiki, the source of much misinformation. Certainly in this case.

Wiki or not, that's how I remember it Placid. he just cancelled his contract and walked away, no pay off, no transfer fee.

[countygump]

Chairman Ray Trew said: “To hold out for a possible transfer fee was too big a risk for this football club. If we were not able to sell him, the value of his contract over the next four years was such that it could have had severe financial implications on Notts County’s future. Kasper has agreed to forgo all his future wages, which is a huge concession by such a young man.”

Hashing over old news,trying to make a story.Pi$s poor journalist

Agreed ! I’m astounded he seems to be making a living out of it !

No. His agent eventually agreed to terminate and there was no onward transfer fee, but he was paid off. Just not the full contract amount. It was still cripplingly significant. No player walked away at all.

It wasn't really 'cripplingly' significant as Ray Trew already owned the club (Kasper stayed until the end of the season) and had to pay it, if indeed there was anything to pay (*). The chance of admin had gone by then.

* And what gumpy said.

with respect, Bohinen, it Was cripplingly significant. No wages, as the telegraph article reported, rather a pay off. KS didn't ask to be released from his contract at all, why would he, it was hugely lucrative. He did agree to go, though, (possibly gladly) knowing he had a new club.
As an aside, The chance of admin when the club is funded by a benefactor is only as far away as them agreeing to, being able to, put money in each month. Something the current owners will know only too well.

The thing is, he can't even write well. His match ratings and articles are littered with grammatical errors and poor English. Makes you wonder how someone who can't report a story or write properly has landed a job as Notts County editor.

Yes Curtis is very poor. Is the Forest reporter any better? Just wondering. He (Curtis) did save Slater's life apparently. Perhaps he should join the ambulance service, instead.

Don't think that is down to Curtis to be fair seen several articles on line and lots of them have all kinds of errors.

I mean some places they say its in Nottingham when its in Derby but that is what you get when the NOTTINGHAM post is now published in the West Midlands I believe !!

[sidders]

You are quite likely blaming the wrong person. A sub is as likely to have caused an error as the original reporter. Also - as legs 77 indicates - the way things have gone means local papers are now printed at the point which makes the most economic sense. For example, the Scarborough paper is printed now in Sunderland. A lot of errors can happen on a journey like that.
