No different really like a club asking for addons for a young player that they have sold. I agree that the whole SD/CM situation has left a very bad taste in the mouths of all that love SAFC and wish that this debacle would end. [HASHTAG]#hawaythecans[/HASHTAG]

Funny you should mention young players and sell in fees as I was going to mention that, saying maybe this is what some football owners the idea.

The difference being though that clubs have nurtured a young player and quite often have them taken away by a bigger club before they reach their full potential and I think a sell on fer is deserved.

I've voiced the opinion before that it should be mandatory for kids who have came through a clubs youth system if they are sold before reaching 23-25 maybe, that the club gets a % of a fee if they are sold within 3 seasons or so? This at least helps the clubs out when the big guys come in and snatch up all the young talent.

I'd say there is the world of difference between a footballer being sold with a sell on and Donald's situation.

A footballer needs to have excelled to get an improving transfer and he must excel again if he is to get another move which would trigger any sell on clause.

Donald on the other hand has been a disaster as an owner, bought most of the club with borrowed money, and if the club goes forward under a new and competent owner, then his role will likely be zero. He will be doing nothing to get any extra money.

Donald has the right to sell or not to sell, and to whomever he sees fit. But he has no moral claim to a reward for any future improvement. If I were him, I'd be careful if he is tempted to take the water out of much bigger boys than him. He might find they don't like it.

Bugger! Think I've replied to the wrong post there!
