I don't get the opinion from some that robins doesn't fancy/rate DKE.

I think he's just protecting a young and inexperienced players and easing him in slowly.

He's played 31 games and is 20 years old, hardy inexperienced for the level we are at?

I thought for a club to get a tribunal fee for a player they had to offer their current salary or more?

Surely they're on more than £300 a week!?

Seems a bit low to me my nephew is at Fleetwood signed as a first year pro from a non league club, he hasn't had a sniff of the first team apart from a stinker in the checkatrade he's on 24k per year plus bonuses on a two year deal

Depends. I'd say current first year pro wage is around £350 for CCFC. Can't ses that figure being too far out considering neither have signed extended contracts like Harries and Stevenson.

Scholars (U18s) earn around £125 a week, this is set by the FA. No club can pay more or less to a scholar until they are 17 when a professional contract can be agreed.
