I’m hearing that Leeds received over £1.5m from Hull in compensation for Drameh based upon the £1.2m we paid for him and the 4 years of development we gave him, even though we loaned him out. Obviously the clickbait girl will not be able to verify that, but maybe Aski can dig up some recent compensation ruling cases. The fact is that Hull get a very good RB, RWB and RCB for peanuts
Whilst I am sure there are a lot more, the two most recent ones I can remember, and thus able to search online to obtain some details are :
Nathan Fergusson joining Crystal Palace from West Brom. Fergusson was in final year of his contract in the 19/20 season. Palace offered £4m in the January transfer window, West Brom rejected it and eventually a fee of £8m was agreed. Fergusson failed his medical and thus the transfer did not go ahead. Come the end of the season and Fergusson now being out of contract, the joined Palace on a free transfer. The PFCC (Professional Football Compensation Committee) awarded West Brom a fee of £900k in November 2021, 13 months after Fergusson had joined Palace.
Fergusson has just been released by Palace, 4 years after they signed him, with him having played less than 10 minutes of competitive first team football.
The other one I remember was Luca Murphy who joined Fulham after being released by Hartlepool. This however wasn't a normal type of transfer as Murphy had his contract terminated by Hartlepool, after he had returned from a trial with Fulham. Fulham signed him 2 weeks later and said that they didnt need to pay a fee for Murphy, as he was now a free agent following his contract termination. Fulham released him 2 years later and were ordered to pay Hartlepool a "6 figure" sum 3 years after he left Hartlepool, and 10 months after Fulham had also released him
Therefore I would feel that whatever fee we have received from Hull, will have been negotiated between the clubs, as its unlikely that the PFCC would have heard and given judgement on the transfer this quickly. Maybe the fee might not reflect the true value that Leeds placed on Drameh, but I am guessing both clubs preferred not to be at the whim of a decision from the PFCC sometime in the future
