Rovers get Zamora boost


Chairman Greg Dunford has revealed the cash from Brighton's sale of Bobby Zamora will help pay off the club's debts.
Rovers sold Zamora to Brighton for £100,000 three years ago with a 30% sell-on clause and Tottenham confirmed their £1.5million signing of the striker on Friday. Rovers can expect a cash windfall of £420,000.

"The money will go towards helping to reduce the mortgage we have on the Memorial Stadium," Dunford told the Bristol Evening Post.

"We are already over our playing budget and it may well be that we have to tinker further with the squad during the season."

Rovers could receive even more cash from the Zamora transfer. Brighton have inserted a 10% sell-on clause in the deal with Spurs and the Bristol club will be entitled to 30% of that if Zamora leaves the north London club.

Is this right? So we have, in effect, included a 7% sell-on clause. Excuse me if I don't get too excited.

we sold bob and paid them 30% so why then do they also get part of our sell on clause,sorry bristol rovers but take the money now and go f**k yourselfs
very confused why they also get part of the next deal surely not?

Seems straightforward to me. The sell-on clause is part of the value of the transfer deal.

As you know, Bristol Rovers are entitled to 30% of whatever Brighton get for Zamora. At the moment that's 30% of £1.5 million, but if Brighton end up getting more later then Bristol Rovers will still get their 30% cut of it. That's how these things always work.

you buy my car for £1 then sell it for £10 fair play,a deal is a deal why is it continuous?
surely it's only applies to the one sell on?

 

[e block rebellion]

just stepped back so we have to go to b rovers and give them something to F**K OFF as the new sell on clause effects the old one
sorry pissed

 

[perth seagull]

They're like parasites Bristol Rovers.

Seems to me that Rovers are pretty smart. Smarter than us for sure. If we had done this with half of the players we have lost/let go over the years, we would be in a very good position financially.
