Tiger was announced as chairman in February 2018 and Dickie was announced in January. I’m not sure Tiger is due a cut from this.I wonder if a possible Dickie transfer is holding up the takeover? If it’s 20% of transfer profit from that deal tiger may be due a cut and he will probably wait out this transfer window before signing off the deal.
To be honest, I'm not sure that chairman should ever be due any monies back from transfers. They sell the club for the value it is at the time. It is another thing that is wrong with football, people who 'invest' in clubs and then demand their money back when it goes wrong under their watch (I'm most definitely NOT suggesting this is what Tiger has done, before anyone starts, it's a general point)Tiger was announced as chairman in February 2018 and Dickie was announced in January.

Completely agree. If anyone should receive money from subsequent sales, it should be the manager that develops them and gives them a chance to fulfil their potential!To be honest, I'm not sure that chairman should ever be due any monies back from transfers.

Didn't Tiger fund the purchases of Dickie and Brannagan before being confirmed as Chairman?Tiger was announced as chairman in February 2018 and Dickie was announced in January. I’m not sure Tiger is due a cut from this.
I think it is a good point that the transfer window could be holding up a takeover. Looking back ten years, the value of our squad and potential sell-ons would have been tiny.To be honest, I'm not sure that chairman should ever be due any monies back from transfers.

I was at this game! I remember he looked far too weak to be a good CB, and a bit slow. How he has developed since then.We lost 2-0 at home to Bristol Rovers a couple of years ago, with our former loan sensation Alex Jakubiak scoring twice for the gassy pirates. Dickie had a nightmare for one of the goals, where he failed to clear and then lost a tussle with Jakubiak.
As others have said, not sure that a chairman should 'take a cut', but if he did, surely its totally irrelevant under whose watch a player was signed. The chairman/owner of a club at the time any asset is sold owns the asset.Tiger was announced as chairman in February 2018 and Dickie was announced in January. I’m not sure Tiger is due a cut from this.
This all sounds perfectly reasonable. I'll be sure to mention this to Tiger, should I bump into him.Well if we're starting down this round, I'd like to point out what I've done and what I deserve.

Whilst others were happy to moan, I said 'unlucky Rob, keep going!'.
There is more to this story, including my activities of the evening where I made a ritual sacrifice of a yak wearing a dickie bow tie, but I don't want to digress too much. What I'm getting at is my unwavering support (and black magic) got him where he is today, and I'm therefore entitled to at least a 10% sell on.
