Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3380739, member: 9518"] That's right. I'm saying we could do the same. In soccer they have a further financial add on in so much as they can write into the contract a 'sell on clause'. I.e. if an English premier side signs a lower division player and then his true value as a player is realised because they are now playing in a better team of players their value also goes up as now bigger European teams are keen to buy them. So Say Liverpool buys a player from a division two side for $700,000 but then that player plays in the champions league against teams like Barca and Bayern and one of them decide they would happily pay $20 million for that player, what happens is the division two side (provided they had a sell on clause) gets a percentage of that sell on $20 million. So if the division two had haggled for a 10% sign-on fee they'd get a further $2 million for the player they originally only got $700,000 for. Maybe we might even consider sell-on fees in league! So if Storm wanted Coates while he was still under contract to us we could sell him before his contract ran out for an agreed fee. This way lower clubs who developed a real top notch player could sell him on and use that bonus fee to pay other players. [/QUOTE]
