Everys single Championship club's profits and losses from player sales A new study has analysed all 24 clubs in the second tier and the results show one club has made a huge profit of £50m with another is £94m in the red A new study has revealed Bristol City banked a £50million profit from player sales in the space of just four years. That is the highest of all current 24 teams in the Skybet Championship. The study, conducted by Betting Odds, saw results compiled using data provided by both the EFL and respected industry website Transfermarkt . Since the summer of 2017, the Robins were found to have sold players for a total of £77m. That is compared to an outlay of just £27m. In that time City have cashed in on the likes of Bobby Reid, Aden Flint and Adam Webster. Reid moved to Cardiff in the summer of 2018 for a fee of £10m - quite the profit on a player who came through City's academy. Flint, who had signed from Swindon for a modest fee of £300,000 joined Middlesbrough that same summer for £7.2m. please log in to view this image As for Webster, he left in a deal in 2019 that saw Brighton pay £20m just a year after City had signed him for £3.5m. Whilst they might be the second tier club with the canniest transfer policy when it comes to moving players on, Stoke City are at the other end of the scale. The findings show that the Potters, having been relegated into the division in 2018, have sold £71m worth of player since summer 2017 from an initial outlay of £165m. That not only leads them to the greatest loss in sales of any current Championship club, (a loss of £94m), but also gives them the worst profit percentage, at -56.91 per cent. Arguably the most obvious piece of transfer business that applies to these losses is the case of Giannelli Imbula. Ginnelli Imbula was signed for big money by Stoke City but they ended up cancelling his contract early and recouped nothing He joined for a fee of £21m in 2016 but his contract was cancelled in 2020 without Stoke ever recouping a penny. In total, 14 of the 24 clubs have made a profit in the four years. Profit percentages on players sold, from summer 2017 to present 1.

This can't be true, Redprintt said (many, many times ) that a previous regime wasted all of our money.... I have always said, it's net spend that matters, and as much I did not like the Mark Ashton approach, he knew how to make a buck
