That's not what I said so why you deliberately make yourself look stupid by suggesting I did is beyond me. I was clearly making the comparison between the library atmosphere at Sixfields and the way a decent crowd creating a decent atmosphere like last Tuesday can lift a team and turn 1 point...

And imagine how much better it could have been with an atmosphere like we had at the Ricoh last Tuesday?

Although the OP goes to the extreme it wouldn't be the first time a player has gone the other way. Two if you take Andy Coles moving from Newcastle to Man U IIRC. Would that players(s) value be included in any sell on clause? Sadly I don't know the answer to that question as we only had home...

Because it was an uninspiring, silent dump. Did you hear TM talking after the Crewe game on CWR saying how the fans were the extra man and lifted the players urging them on to the win? Let's not try and pretend for one minute that ever happened at Sixfields ever.

Conveniently forgetting that one went in the January transfer window, one missed a big portion of latter half of the season with injury and we had a 10 point deduction. Under different circumstances a playoff place would have easily been achievable and if we weren't playing in Northampton at the...

No I said that they wouldn't know a good player if they hit them square between the eyes if they think we got a good deal for Wilson. Which I still stand by even with a better understanding of the sell on clause (thanks CCFC). It might have been the best of the offer's we had. That doesn't mean...

Thank you for the reply. It's most educational. Did you teach at Grendull's school perchance? They did football economics there apparently ;)

You don't seem to be able to explain it either just try and insult those who admit that they don't understand it. As for the sort of education I had at school. No, football economics wasn't one of the options that came up. Are you saying it did at your school?

How is asking questions and trying to understand the answers having a nightmare? I'm neither a professional footballer, football agent, football manager or a club owner. I don't pretend to understand the intricate details of transfers, there's no nightmare in admitting that. I'm more than big...

My mistake. It's says more than. But the point stands. Yes more than could be £2M if we get 10% of a £20M transfer fee but it could also mean a fixed amount to make the total received £3.1M once all the clauses have been met. He'd still be cheap IMO even if it is 10%. £5M is what we should...

I think you're assuming that all sell on clauses are based on a percentage and not a fixed amount. Click on Nicks link and read the first article. If you read that different to me fair enough but that's how it read to me.

I don't know. How I read it was that we got £2.25M upfront and the loan players and other clauses could see the fee rise to just over £3M including goals, appearances, promotion and a sell on clause. That doesn't sound like a percentage to me, that sounds like a fixed amount. Unless I've...

Thanks. Clever that. You can tell you work in IT. So going by the first article the clauses including a believed sell on clause are worth just over £750K some of which we would have already received from appearances, goals scored and promotion windfall clauses. Doesn't sound like we've got...

You tell me? Any links?

In comparison to people who can't admit it was a shit deal for the club despite the wall of evidence confirming it was? Not at all.

Probably because I don't know there is one. I don't know if you noticed but I did ask the question a page or two back.

It was a shit deal for the club and anyone who says otherwise either knows jack about football or at least less than me (which admittedly isn't a lot) or are just ignorant to the facts. Have the club ever officially disclosed the details of the deal? Not to my knowledge. The best we've heard...
