Villa related - Cahill question

[Chico Hamilton III]

Quick question - please delete if this has been covered elsewhere - didn't we agree some sort of sell on clause when we flogged Cahill to Bolton?

I'm sure we did

[David_Nab]

Apparantly we  had a sell onfee for % of profits of a sale so I don't think we got alot

[Concrete John]

It's 15% of Bolton's profit above the £5m they paid for him, so £300k to us.

Or in today`s money ... One and a half weeks of Tevez`s wage

[Kingthing]

That's the Arsenal coaches paid for.

I've asked this on lots of different threads but despite helpful replies like John's confirming it's 15% of the profit as I thought, why have none of the media mentioned it? Shit journalism or barely worth a byline?

Hardly matters does it?

[eamonn]

It makes me sleep a bit easier knowing Emile's wages for the next five weeks are looked-after.

Seriously though, just thought it a bit remiss of journalists. It's not a huge amount but it's still part of the transfer fee that seems to have been overlooked.

[SoccerHQ]

How much would we have got if they'd sold him for 18m last summer as was being mooted?

[eamonn]

Just shy of £2m presumably.
It was never going to be much, 15% of any profit, barely worth arguing with in negotiations. Do we have any other similar clauses on players (Ridgewell?)?

[SoccerHQ]

Hmmm oh for a Levy negotiating the deals!

Pretty sure if QPR sell Tarrarbt for 10m ish, Spurs have a 40% sell on clause in the deal.

[Edvard Remberg]

Oh I miss the days of Ellis and Ehiogu

I think they should offer me a job at Villa helping them making deals. I can't do it worse than Faulkner - can I ? (ofcourse I could)
