Fair play to the board for getting a good deal....but whats all this bollox about not telling us fans exactly what we are getting...thaught those shitty days were over obviously not,as someone whos invested alot of time and money into the club i for one want to know what the deals worth...ime fed the fuck up with all the secrecy every time we sell a player...heres hoping when the Cox deal goes through we are told what we are getting and what the plans are for his replacement.

Could it be a player plus cash deal and Fitton doesn't want to alert other teams to a players availability that we could be signing - maybe?

How does the sell on clause work when there are "add ons" in a deal?

Is the sell on just for the initial fee, or do they get a cut of any further payments?

A bit disappointed the £2m includes add ons rather than them being extra.

I was told that in this instance a third party - i think the FA - decide on the 'value' of the transfer and the sell on fee  is determined as the percentage of that.

I was ranting on at work a month or two ago about selling Pook to someone for £3M and giving them Coxy for free, meaning we wouldn't have to pay Reading anything. Apparently someone gets involved at this point and works out the real value of Cox in the transaction, and then Reading get their 40% of that... bastards.

At least it protects us from "they've got 2 million to spend" when dealing with other clubs, in theory.

Its all a bit silly as it comes out in the wash/papers anyway.

West Brom are really sensible with their money, a good model for us to use. They don't overspend when they get promoted and instead just gradually strengthen the team. So at the moment they are going up and down all the time but eventually they should be able to sustain Premier League football.

I haven't checked the odds but I'd be surprised if West Brom aren't one of the favourites for promotion. At minimum they will be in the play offs but I reckon they will bounce straight back up.

Completely agree - if this club is run in the future how WBA have been for years we will be secure and, in time, relatively successful.

BBC RS said that Mr Fitton had told them it was 40%, that was before the Bristol Rovers game during the pre-match build up Leefer.
