Anyway... my take on why there's a delay (not based on any inside info on this one).
Bradford have made a bid of £250k for Wyke, which they believe matches his buyout clause. However, while the bid could eventually be worth £250k, it's not £250k upfront and is the usual deal of add-ons etc (i.e. £80k up top, another £50 when he makes 50 appearances, another £50k if he scores 40 goals, £70k if Bradford are promoted). We're telling them to stick it and offer £250k upfront (or possibly a little less with a decent sell-on clause (unless a sell-on clause was stipulated with his buyout clause).
This is how Huddersfield got Dempsey - by offering the full £300k upfront.
Thats incorrect. They pay it as 2.5k everytime Dempsey plays for Huddersfield.
