If West Ham come back with say 10 million I think they might sell.

What is Utd's sell-on percentage?

Does anything go to Queens Park or have we fulfilled that obligation with the token fee to them when we sold him?

Anyone know?

 Pure conjecture and back of a fag packet figures: If we get 10% as a sell on fee from £10m, then our £1m cut will instantly be thrown at our debt, which (correct me if wrong) is £1m give or take. We owe jack all to Queens Park. So, for any 'Balance Sheet Arabs' as I call them (those who would rather have a bit of money than a trophy and/or 'celebrate' sales of our best players), there's nothing to jiz over on this occasion.

Tbh id imagine any fee raised would go to buffer the projected losses for the season.


Belts are defo being tightened at the club

Yup. The debt, IIRC, was £3.2m after we sold Goodwillie.

In the past two seasons we've had unprecedented transfer income, yet we're still in debt (around £1m, I think), skint as a church mouse and are in the fizzy league.

When we got rid of the bank debt, I'm pretty sure the bank wrote around  £1m of it off.

So let's call the debt after Goodwillie £2.2m.

Even if you halve the figures reported in the papers for Gauld, Robertson et al, we should still be flush and debt free.

Sigh. Here we go again. You do all realise that a big chunk of any whack we get for Robbo goes on a) Tax b) Jackie c) Thompson's hipper. No danger will we see £1 million. Be lucky if we see half of that.

Incidentally, West Ham would be a shite move for him. The current left back Creswell might be injured but as soon as he's fit he'll be straight back in because a) he's at least as good if not better than Andy and b) he's English which means the media down there, the fans and Allardyce will be chomping at the bit for him to be playing to benefit their national team. Robbo would be up against it right from the start.

He'd be FAR better advised to go to Liverpool because a) their current left back isn't up to much b) he made a chunt of the Europa League final so the fans are pissed off with him and would welcome a decent replacement c) well, it's Liverpool and Klopp, a much better and bigger opportunity than West Ham and d) The boy Chillwell has signed a new deal at Leicester so Robbo is likely to be their next target.

Hopefully. £7 million seems a little low for Robbo in todays inflated English market.

It does.

Considering he's an Internationalist, has EPL experience and of course Hull will be EPL again next season themselves.

I think 10 mill might tempt them though.

First time I could genuinely EXPECT a mental fee for a player associated with us. 11-15 million £'s would not surprise me really from within that deluded inflated marketplace.

Crazy that a sell on fee could be the same amount as a massive transfer.
 
Lost the positivity this type of thing brought me pre Tim2 but will be happy if we benefit from an Andy Robertson sale.


ST would be nuts not to do good in the eyes of the fans with any money brought in from this potential sale .
