How does compensation work for players under 22 if relegated. The fact the club have developed them doesn’t change.

I would hope Eseh would give us a year though with loyalty. A full season in the championship at 20 would do him good (if full time).

Given he’s the same age and pay bracket that Issac Shaw was i think then if compensation is applicable (and i’m not sure if it is once relegated) then it’s only likely to be around 20k. Clubs will happily part with that for someone of his potential.

Which is why I hope we are sitting down with him presently. He’s still not quite ready yet for week in week out SL but he won’t be far off.

Given who his agent is i wouldn’t get your hopes up of that happening.

Who knows. Maybe his current contract signed at 17 years old already included it.
