'Kilman sell-on fee could profoundly change Maidenhead' says club chairman

► Subscribe to Sky Sports News: bit.ly/SkySportsNewsSub
Maidenhead chairman Peter Griffin speaking to Sky Sports News after former player Max Kilman's £40m move to West Ham:
"Tremendously proud. When Max was with us, we knew he was a real talent but I'd be lying to say I knew how good his talent was.
"His attitude has helped him progress and we're delighted for him.
"There's always a negotiation about price and we always put a sell-on clause in. Sometimes it pays off. It's fair to say this is a big deal.
"It's an amount that could profoundly change the course of the club. We're a part-time team competing in the Nations League, but we have a women's team, a development squad for girls, an academy and a community scheme.
"The money coming in is not just going to affect the men's first team, it's going to affect the women's team, what we do in our community and the infrastructure."

Maidenhead is a great club. Doing amazing staying in the national league for so long on their budget

[@reynard-fox]

Nah they're rubbish. Feel VERY strongly about them not getting this sell-on fee. Completely undeserved, have done nothing to warrant that money, best thing they did for MAX was sending him out on loan for a day at Marlow and that.

[@EyebrowsGaming]

@@reynard-fox Well Wolves agreed to the deal, Maidenhead gave him the spotlight to go to Wolves in the first place, can't fault them for that.

Congratulations Maidenhead and Alan Devonshire the legend, hope this windfall transforms your club and hope to meet you in a cup match one day. Massive support from west ham fans. Good luck! COYI⚒️

[@infrasleep]

Dev is brilliant. We're still a part time outfit,have only around 23/24 players meaning injuries etc are a severe problem, but Dev has the side working so hard/100% that we've defied the odds for near a decade in the NL. The "Big" clubs dropping from the EFL call it being Devonshired when we beat them !! For some weird reason, fans of clubs like Southend Oldham etc get all huffy when we sing them an old Who song. "Who are you ? Who Who Who Who ?" I dont know why XD We cant beat the odds forever, but its been great and its down to Dev with his able assistant Ryan Peters and a side that fights and works 100%. Cant ask for more.

Back in my day as a kid I remember Kevin Keegan and the late,great Ray Clemence joining Liverpool form Scunthorpe...and of course Shankly joining as manager from Workington. As a Wolves fan I just want to add my thanks to Maximillian Killman for his service to our club, whilst at the same time wishing Maidenhead much luck for the forthcoming season...spend it like you stole it. "C'mon me babbies." UTW.

[@TooRiskyHD]

Fair play to Maidenhead wasn’t to keen on Kilman but he’s got all the attributes you want in a defender. Glad wolves could provide this but not just them thanks to Westham and big up to Matt Hobbs who fought to bring Kilman to wolves then sold him for 40m ❤fair play all

[@ogyamatta6903]

Max Kilmans parents are from Ukrainian and russian heritage so the war between Russia and Ukraine affected him some way in the past. The then former coach of Ukraine national team the one and only Andrej Schevchenko tried to lure and convince Kilman to play for the ukrainian senior national team but FIFA blocked the move because Kilman has already played at Futsal level for England. He played 25 games for England at Futsal level from the age of 18.

[@Hourani95]

he can definitely swap if he applies himself.

[@ogyamatta6903]

@@Hourani95 if you doubt it check this news from Google"In March 2021, Ukraine coach Andriy Shevchenko announced that he had formally asked FIFA to switch Kilman's national allegiance to Ukraine, but also enquired of them as to whether his appearances for the England futsal team would make him ineligible for Ukraine.[37] On 7 April 2021, FIFA rejected the application, confirming that his appearances for England in competitive futsal matches ties him to playing for England in any form of football".

[@Looney-toon]

How is it a 7 year year deal, PL banned contracts longer than 5 years, what is going on?

[@tonybiundo9623]

They didn't ban the contracts they just capped the amortisation at 5 years

[@BlazinBlz]

they didn't ban long contracts, just how the books work so basically take what Chelsea did with all those players on like 8 year contracts, according to the FFP books, that's how spread out the transfer fee is, so say it's 80 million for ease of maths, that'd be 10 million a year so they stopped that FFP loophole by putting it at a cap of 5 years, so that same 80 mil is now 16 million over 5 years, even if the contract is still 8 years

[@EileensBoy]

Shame arguably the greatest ever non league to top flight player wasn’t highlighted - Maidenhead manager Alan Devonshire who West Ham signed from £5k from Southall ended up being voted a few years ago the 5th greatest Hammer of all time with only Billy Bonds, Sir Trevor Brooking, Sir Geoff Hurst and Bobby Moore in front of him
