It’s so convoluted and complex (deliberately so), to the post whereby a forensic accountant would be required to unpick a few relatively insignificant deals such as Onomah, Woodburn etc.
The very high profile deals are more transparent and scrutinised than the kind of deals PNE are involved in.
RL’s agents and CAA are technically competitors, but both are US owned and utilise UK-based intermediaries as agents, whom are technically self-employed, so can (and actually are obliged to as per IR35), work for more than one entity. Mark Rankine is one such agent.
Personal opinion is that KR and the Hemming’s are being fleeced because they won’t talk to one another and don’t understand football. PR, RL and his cronies, are taking full advantage.
FWIW i don’t for one second believe that RL wasn’t aware of Woodburn’s contractual situation re: the appearance clause. He’s complicit, along with the other ‘decision makers’.
Woodbum getting Alan Spavin's shirt? Hypocrisy at its finest.

Thinking about the list what has peed me off almost as much as Woodburn staying is the underhand way that it's been announced.
No mention of the option being taken up as would normally be the case, he just appears on the contracted players list & that's it. Was it an option that for some unknown reason RL decided it was a good idea or was it triggered by appearances?!?!
The Club aren't stupid as they clearly knew what they were doing but they clearly think that the fans are. We're being taken for mugs,
It's bang out of order but not surprising with the way the Club is being run.

We only have the word of the club in the shape of Ridders that such a clause exists.
Its a handy clause for a club to sign someone who isn't very good and the club knows the fans aren't keen on.
It seems a strange clause , it says that we will give you 12 months to prove yourself, we will give you plenty of chances to show what you can do and if we are desperate for players and we have to play you anyway we will agree to sign you even if you are complete shite.
Progress 🙄

It's a pretty standard clause.
But what normal clubs do when the player turns out to be shite, is they don't allow the player to make enough appearances to trigger the +1 option.
Clubs that are looking for a cheap and convenient body, on the other hand...

Their track record in transfers and players contract renewal would suggest that they are ?

Stupid in some aspects but certainly not in others.
And right there is the problem! Why is Ridsdale watching potential signings?? His only involvement in any transfers should be negotiation with the agents of targets identified by the scouting system, which have been agreed with Lowe. This is how and why the dinosaurs "2 out of 5" approach to transfers is dragging us down. If he wants to be part of selecting players, he should buy a club, not interfere with OUR club!!!I didn't think Hardie was that bad. As for Stockton, my head says he wouldn't be good enough, like you said though, he's cheap, and don't forget, Scouse.
It was only one game, but I saw Cambridge at Morecambe, and wasn't impressed with Smith. Whether the watching Peter Ridsdale was, is another matter.

Quote of the day already for me, if he wants to be the ”big I am” talking down from an ivory tower, then back yourself and buy a club (not ours) and feel free to get involved in everything, have a shared office with the manager.
Interesting comment.
Despite my being in favour of RL, equally, I was also angry about the subs v Sunderland when the game was gone. Farce.
If we are filling the bench with youth who don’t get a minute the club might as well hold a raffle for fans to enter. Winner gets to warm up and do keepy uppys at half time and the club gets extra revenue.
Win win.
Didn't Liverpool do this once for a TV programme ?
