According to the BBC Sport gossip column, "Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has made a £400,000 bid for Liverpool defender Jack Hobbs, who is currently on loan with the League One leaders"

Would we get a percentage of that money? I can't remember the details of the initial deal with Liverpool other than Liverpool Reserves playing at SB.

We would, but I thought Liverpool were asking for a lot more than that!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

I heard the magical 7 figures was the fee Liverpool wanted for him as I'm sure I read somewhere he signed a new deal last summer.
I'm sure we get around 20-25% sell on fee could be handy that.

The story I heard was definately well over a million. Could be very handy this summer for new players, especially if posh get promoted and the Freck transfer fee! Maybe we will be the new Shrewsbury!

I had not heard the Shrews comparison. So are we getting a new ground, with a cinema complex and loads of parking?

We certainly need every penny we can lay our hands on as this lot are clearly not good enough.We need a bigger squad clearly as there is a lack of competition for places.
Hobbs moving Freck and DNG going will give us a good war chest but how much of it will have to got towards the shortfall in crowds to balance the books?

I think it was said elsewhere that we've budgeted for crowds of 4,300 this season.

Obviously as this season descends into nothing more than a series of meaningless home games, the current average attendance of 3978 will surely drop.

Like next week £18 against county doubt they will bring that many and we will struggle after it has really hit home this season has been based on hype.

I doubt that the Aldershot game will be classed 'A' by the time we get there. live">In fact, I reckon the Club will allow everyone in for free, just to say "Thank you for your support this (sorry) season".

We've got (another) new manager. Will he be a very good manager? I do hope so.

Assuming an average of 3800, the shortfall would be around:

400 X£10 x 23 = £102, 000

I think we have that covered with a bit to spare.

Back on topic...

As I understand it we have already received £150,000 which is 25% of £600,000 so we get nothing if he is sold for £600,000 or less; we only get 25% of any amount over £600,000 - e.g. if Liverpool sell him for £1m then we only get 25% of the difference between £600k and £1m = 25% of £400k = £100k

That's how it is, so let's hope they sell for much more than £600k!!!

We've got (another) new manager. Will he be a very good manager? I do hope so.

So we've only received £150,000 or we've received £150,000 of any potential sell-on money?

I'm confused.

Basically, the deal was as I said it. We have had £150k which is 25% of £600k, but we will only receive 25% of any future fee in excess of that initial figure of £600k.

You may not believe me, but you will see...

What happens with the other 75% of the £600,000. Is that dependent on first team appearances. If so, and we don't see it, would the sell on apply to the excess over the 25% or would the appearance condition travel with him?

That's the point. It wasn't £600k, it was 25% of that plus 25% of any future sale above £600k.

Do you see now? Appearance money has f-all to do with it.

It's also 10% of 1.5 million.

What's the relevance of £600,000?

The relevant figure is 25%.

We received £150k which is 25% of £600k which is why £600k is relevant.
