I think if we are offered 50 million or more. Should be sold and 3 players at 20mill plus be brought in |  | | |  |

Think if he continues to score goals (and ends up with 20 or so) I think he'd be off for a big fee regardless of our division. It's a market short of good strikers, so someone would definitely pay a good fee for him. |  | | |

If he scores at the level he is now, there is every chance he would be sold when/if we stay up.
That's our model for financing the club going forwards. |  | | |

Don't think we'll be signing £20m players if we go down tbh. We've spent a lot and no doubt the wage bill is pretty high, I would imagine a couple would likely move on if we did go down, and there's a few that'll certainly want to keep playing in the top flight. Delap, Omari, Greaves, Davis probably the most likely suspects.
You could take those 4 out and we would still have the core of a squad that should be competitive at that level though. Woolf, O'Shea, Tuanzebe, Taylor, Burns, Chaplin, Szmodics, Broadhead, Ogbene, Hirst. Presume we would look to add a CM or 2.
Not happening though, we're staying up innit. First win Saturday against the Toffee's. |  | | |

If he continues to score and we stay up, he will probably be sold for £70 million plus - assuming there isn’t a big slump in fees or WW3 starts.
If he continues to score but we go down then it’ll be around the £60 million plus add-ons.
Based all this on the £55 million Dominic Solanke went for. Yes, he had a good season in the PL (and the season prior in the championship) but if Delano carries on scoring, he will be seen as a far better player. [Post edited 14 Oct 2024 13:59]

....at whatever fee they have built into the original deal, probably £25m to £30m and then sell him on for £50+.

Rule of thumb for buy back clauses seems to be 2-3 times the purchase price. |  |

Both scenarios possible, with our luck |  |

Villa ended up paying just £13m for Philogene. | |

That's more than 2.5 x the original purchase price, even after their sell on % is discounted. | |

Villa's was slightly different though wasn't it as they had 'matching rights' which means the sell-on gets factored in whereas I don't think the sell-on would be factored into a buyback as that's a fixed fee. | | | |

Correct, we triggered the matching rights clause by having an offer accepted by Hull. Villa had 3 days to "match" it which they did.
Very different thing to a buy-back clause where the fee is specified. |  |

By all accounts contracts which contain buy-back clauses can also contain cancellation clauses as well. For example, if the selling club insists on having a buy-back fee for £10 million - that fee can be cancelled if a third club offers [£15 million for example] a significant higher fee.
This protects both the selling and buying club.

If we do go down, and I don’t think we will - we aren’t going to have a net spend after selling Delap. Hypothetically if he’s sold for £50m a lot of that is going to cover wages etc for the loss of income. My understanding is you do not receive the parachute payment for the first year? | | | |

Incorrect.
If we go down this year we get 2 years parachute payments.
If next year or after then it's 3 years of parachute payments.
If 3 of Burnley, Sheff Utd, Luton and Leeds were to get promoted, the only parachute money sloshing around would be whichever team misses out from those 4 and the 3 relegated teams. | |
