[highlight=yellow]Any player that is sold whilst CO is in charge then that money deservedly should go back to CO to do what he sees fit with it which is unlikely to be to the benefit of TUFC.[/highlight] I would propose that each club has a trust fund set up where monies from past sell on clauses can be set aside and not permitted to be touched by owners who weren't in charge when the player(s) were at the club and sold.

I'm confusing myself now :lol: but hopefully someone will be able to see what i'm trying to say. Whether it would be a good idea or not i don't know but i think it would be a fair idea.
Trust isn't necessarily a bad idea, but probably pretty unworkable.

When you buy a business, you buy all of their liabilities and their assets and you have to deal with both when they arise. a 15% sell on fee is an asset, and as the current owner, Osborne is the one that gets it. If he chooses not to use it to improve the team, that's his decision (and also another sad idictment on the lack of oversight that went into the sale). Putting that into a trust means that the owner wouldn't really own everything, which makes it hard to sell the club.

Transfer fee is believed to be £800k so Torquay will receive about £100k.

I had hoped the fee would be higher

Excellent.

No excuses for not clearing the paltry debt outstanding for the disabled supporters roof then. As promised. :~D

Apparently, the transfer fee was £850,000.
So we should be due £112,500........

Wasn't it 15% of any profit? If we sold him for the reported £100,000 then 15% of £750,000 is £112,500. So, as hard as it is to believe, SNW may be correct. ;-)

My information was it was 15% of the sell on fee, not profit but I doubt the manager will see any of it anyway.
