Hardly a surprise, although he had just signed a new contract with Scunny - obviously the lure of playing for Coley & Jimmy again was stronger than his desire to play league 1 football :rolleyes:

Stanley agree Grant compensation
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g...bert_grant.jpgAccrington Stanley have agreed a fee with Scunthorpe United for midfielder bobby grant who makes the switch from the Crown Ground this summer.

19 year old Grant was out of contract however as he is under the age of 24 then we are entitled to compensation for our role in his development as a player. Initially the two club valuations of the player were some distance apart however after weeks of negotiations a fee has been agreed that will see an initial cash payment made which will rise to a possible £260,000 depending on appearances and the performances of both Bobby and his new club. There will also be a sell on clause should Bobby be sold at a profit by his new club.

Speaking about the deal Accrington Stanley chief executive Robert Heys said "We have accepted an offer of compensation from Scunthorpe for bobby grant, it is not as much as we would have valued the player at ourselves but our only alternative was to await the outcome of a tribunal which could be months down the line. This decision means that we know how much we are getting for the player and we can immediately add it to John Coleman's playing budget for the 2010/11 season." .... depends now on how much Stanleydale paid Scunny for him

Cant see a huge windfall coming from this.

Though something is better than nothing I suppose.

well he didn't play reet much, nor score reet many, and the percentage is only on any profit made. We'll not have made much at all from the loss of that player!
