Mr Mosquito Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Selling Leroy Lita to reading for £1 million might seem a good deal now but remember that some people at BCFC thought £1.8 million was a good deal for Andy Cole when he proved to be worth over 4 times that a few years later. Did we get a decent sell on clause put on Lita's Reading contract?Time to close the BCFC 'Judas' mentality academy now our prize horses have now bolted?

SL has mentioned many times that this mistake will never be made again so I'm sure we have a good clause. Of course that will mean nothing if he runs out his contract and leaves on a free!

Did we get a decent sell on clause put on Lita's Reading contract?Time to close the BCFC 'Judas' mentality academy now our prize horses have now bolted?←andy cole was worth that much because he was playing in a team that included premiership quality players. city, at the time, were the equivalent of, say, watford today. 1.8 million was a gret deal for cole, the problem was the lack of a sell on clause. if we only had a 10% on cole, we would have made 600,000 of the man. utd deal, and a further 700k from the man u to blackburn deal.now leroy is playing for a club with a higher profile, more money and better players, i fully expect his value to go up in a few years. i imagine we would realistically have around 20-30% sell on, plus appearances, goals, caps, promotion bonuses, so we could make a killing off the deal.as a comparison, leroy will probably turn out to be akin to nathan ellington, who was bought by wigan for about 2mill but is being quoted as being worth at least double that now.

Can't see it myself but it would be nice.←Let's hope that a 40% sell on clause has been negotiated on BCFC's behalf. I'm fed up of BCFC being ripped off by buying dodgy players and selling the decent players we have got way below their market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
