Sell on clause normally 20%. So if he went for 2m you take off the £300,000 we paid. This leaves £1,700,000. 20% = £340,000. This leaves us with £1,660,000. Then a bit of cash for the player. We would end up with nearly 1.5m So we could let him go for less. Not sure of terms of sell on clause, but should not be far off this.
So you believe it when the club says we want to keep him?
Sell on clauses can, and do, involve payments for amount of games played. They have not said he is not for sale. They have said they want to keep him. So in other words to me they are saying they want to keep him, but come in with a high enough bid and you can have him.
Burnley have just got a few million for a couple of players they sold to Bolton. They are after a striker. We are a selling club. Always have been. Non story? I hope so. Sky are not always accurate, but where did we find out about King going? Why did they put it up just before 11pm last night? Do they have a contact in the club? Is it to get us used to the idea before it happens?
I am glad there are people that believe he will be with us this season. I am glad there are people that believe we have funds to bring in a couple of players without selling. I have been watching Cov for nearly 40 years. I am used to seeing our best players being sold.
Not long to go now to the start of the season. I would think that there will be deals done before then.
