    No where near. Think it was around £500,000.

    Coventry sold Babb later for £2.7M to Liverpool.

    We did get an unusually high figure upfront for potential

    Thought we got quite a bit more for George Green and seem to think that Bury have received quite a lot more for a couple of their teenagers.

    No, but if we get 1.5m for the bab we have now, that would be super.

    So how have they spent so much to be in so much debt? I just don’t get it. Can’t say I’ve seen them chucking money around on signings and I can’t imagine their wage bill would be into 9-figures.

    Any idea why they’ve got into such trouble

    Spending almost £90mill on wages and almost another £50mill on incoming transfers certainly didn't help!

    I don't believe that continuing to service their level of debt at the end of their relegation season would have been particularly onerous had they not been relegated. But halving the Sky TV money by being relegated does of course create its own problems and quickly builds up the debt level further unless tough decisions are taken!
