    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! :)

    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

    I got confused by this too, think it is the difference between the two selling fees....

    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.

    The % of profit made.

    Seems to range from 4 to 6 million depending on who you read.

    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...

    But we could take out a loan based on future payments. We have done this before.

    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.
