Windfalls

Did we manage to find out if there’s a sell on fee?

 

No but there might be a clause, Santa

 

there's no such thing as a Sanity Clause! ....(Marx Brothers)

 

The way City performed this season, it should be Sanitry Clause !

 

Not according to Simon Parker and Richard Sutcliffe, both of whom claim to have been told by the club.

 

Bump!!

Oli McBurnie going to Sheffield Utd or Brighton for 12 million

 

And we get 15%. Happy days.

 

Or if not a development fee

 

Nice one. That’s the covered the financial risk we took last season to push the boat out in pursuing such an impressive feat of being the shitest team in the league.

 

Lets just hope Ollie doesn't do a Tom Cleverly and run his contract out...

 

Does anyone here honestly think that even if their is a Mcburnie sell on clause that any of it will be put back into improving the first team and investing in the players needed to get us promoted. It won't. Or if it is, it'll be a token amount at best. The vast amount will be put towards reducing "a deficit", and "running costs" and the associated loss of income incurred because of relegation.

Rupp's no doubt taken a massive hit financially because of where we've ended up and he'll be looking to minimise that by absorbing as much of our income as he possibly can. He's the owner and he'll get away with doing just that. If life was fair and football was run for the supporters that wouldn't happen, the money would be spent on new players, but it isnt fair and its run as a business unfortunately. Rahic and his little failed experiment has probably set us back about 6 seasons from where we were. The prick...

 

Edited mate.
Will he pocket it, as it has been quoted many times Rupp will have covered our £2/3 m shortfall.

 

Just about covers last years operating loss
Would love to see it spent on good players who could get us out of L2 and stabilize us back in L1
But fear it will have to be spent paying off this years "superstars" at best

 

boys that is great news surely. Shirley......... we are starting from even playing field.

 

Hopefully it’s true but journalist Alan Nixon is certain that no clause exists. Time will tell I suppose.

 

He tweets a lot of rubbish though

 

Absolutely agree on any potential sell on clause, covering the clubs debts. And truthfully, I wouldn't blame Rupp on that.

 

But he wasn’t out of contract when he was sold?

 

Because we crossed our fingers and offered up 3 hail mary’s
