Not really. He needed to go somewhere he could play regularly and develop as a player. It simply wasn't happening for him here. When he was sold he'd scored 3 goals in 30 Championship appearances, there was nothing to suggest we'd let this level of player go. We did well to get a million for...

That is exactly the point @Whitechapel is making.

Yes but as mentioned in this thread a few times. Any future fees paid to Coventry form part of the overall transfer fee they’ve received for the player and we will still be due our percentage of those fees. I gave an example above that Barnsley were due a small payment from the bonus Everton...

Obviously I've not seen the finer points of the agreement between us and Coventry, but normally if there are bonuses and a future sell on clause in the deal that took him to Sporting from Coventry then that is part of the overall transfer fee that Coventry will eventually receive for him and we...

Depends on the terms of the sell on agreement. It can apply to any future fees received for that player. It’s been reported that Barnsley will get a small payment from John Stones winning the Champions League for Man City. Everton are due a bonus of around £2.5 million as part of the transfer...

In the scenario that Coventry have a 20% sell on and we would be entitled to 20% of whatever they got from that then we would get 4% of the total transfer fee (well profit on the transfer as sell ons are normally paid on profit made on the player not the overall transfer fee).

He’s the exception that proves the rule.

The score line is immaterial. Chupa f***ing Akpom scored against us. A player who when here looked like he'd never seen a football before. Those are the type of former players that score against us, they were either shite or didn't get a fair crack and have a point to prove. Viktor will...

It's never those that were in some way decent for us that come back and haunt us, it's those that never achieved anything or were shit. Hence Akpom scoring for Boro a couple of weeks ago.

I think he was out of contract at the end of this season so keeping him and loaning him out wouldn't have benefited us if he'd already indicated to the club he wouldn't sign a new deal. Better to get a small amount for him now than lose him for free in the summer as he'd be 24 by the time his...
