As regards his age.. I think you will find it's under 24 that the rules apply to and Ajala won't be 24 until September
I meant under 24, got mixed up with saying as he was 23.

I hadn't realised about the time lapse, I guess that is to protect clubs and stop players doing as I mentioned and trying to get a better contract elsewhere whilst having their previous club to fall back on

We offered him a deal, he turned it down, we are due compensation when he moves to a new club as he is under 23 - all makes sense

However to be due compensation does the contract have to be on offer until he moves? Because surely if we withdraw the offer we are no longer due the compensation?

On this basis to receive money for Ajala the contract must still be available to him, and if it is, he could accept the deal at any point and play for us?

Anyone with better knowledge of the regulations?

He's on trial at Dover at the moment...

He has some defensive ability and could cover at wing back if we could retain him.

He can choose to sign for anyone, but presumably that club will have to pay. If the fee is not agreed first then that club is going to have to pay an unknown amount.

I rate Ajala, he is a decent player, but there won't be many clubs who will pay for him, let alone any that will pay an unknown amount.

The fee doesn't have to be agreed first - a tribunal is then called upon.

Yes he can of course sign for another club if he wishes but we are due a fee so that would need to be agreed first. It will mean he is not quite the absolutely free agent he will be in a year's time.

Whether or not a contract is offered is irrelevant. If you haven't actually signed a contract, then you are quite free to sign a contract with somebody else.

Is it impossible for him to return?

I realise Rovers might have been a good move and Dover currently may be slightly better placed financially but neither seem a certainty for him. As we are going to want a little money ( not a situation that will occur again next year allowing him a better negotiating position ) and he could do with some club consistency on his C.V have we not got a chance here.?

If you don't want him I would be more than happy if he came back here.
Pretty much.

Even if he isn't playing well (which is often for lower league wingers), he still puts in a good bit of graft.

I hope they dont go into administration. But the saga of Stadia In Bristol is only bringing shame upon various bodies. especially nimbies and the council who have consistently stood in the way of anything really successful hence no decent sporting venue. No ice rink no concert arena as yet.
But with reported debts as high as 5 million something will eventually come home to roost. It Will be a shame but that is now hard reality biting back.
Ajala has a further problem if he doesn't now sign for Rovers. compensation. no club lower down our league would be prepared to pay us compo for a player.. not many clubs higher up the ladder will be either so if he is let loose then he could find himself unemployed. that wont do his career any good. Or will he then be forced to take an about turn and end up playing for us or on gardening leave. which will at least give him time to rethink his career options and end up on reality TV as another failed so called celebrity planting carrots
