My son has lived in Madrid for four years now - he acquainted me of that on a trip back here three years or so ago. Doesn't alter the fact that it's a tasty drop...
The pub I had it in it was OK at best. But, I think a lot depends on the lines too, and this was an Ale hole by the crowd I saw in there. Have you ever tried Negro Modelo? Got one on the go now and my, a lovely tipple. Anyways BB Cheers!
Hopefully just Sun rubbish taken from a few tweets on X suggesting there has been a falling out. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/35603000/watford-imran-louza-transfer-request/ They need to give the new manager time although I guess some will be sad to see Tom go as everyone was .
Pedro off to Chelsea for 50 million and we get 20% of a sell on fee. Will any of this money be invested in the team ?!
Is this 20% of the profit I.e c6m Or 20% of the fee I.e 12m BBC states 55m fee so could be more than the above which is based on 50m
So say we sold him to Brighton for 30 quid. They sell him for 50 quid, it's the percentage of 20 quid. Basic, but I might be wrong.
We sold Pedro to Brighton for £30 million Brighton sell him to Chelsea for £50 million Profit = £20 million Brighton owe us 20% of £20 million = £4 million The trouble is that most of these multi-million transfer fees aren't paid immediately - they're structured with payment schedules, possibly spread over 3-4 years. That means our 20% cut will be spread over the same schedule, so we likely won't have £4 million to spend on new players immediately, unless the selling clubs are willing to accept similar payment schedules from us. At least that's my take on it...
There are 3 options, get the sell-on money at approx 1m a year through the length of his new contract or as suggested above, we can borrow against it whilst being charged interest. The third option is to negotiate with Brighton for an upfront payment at a negotiated lower amount.
