I can't imagine the Hammers would accept that - although I'm sure they would accept £15m - but the point of the thread is to ask whether we have a sell-on clause - or did that get lost in the Robert Green transfer saga?    Report

Deano is obviously a quality player but he's injury prone and Curbs might prefer to buy someone who he can rely on.    Report

If i was Wet sham id bite Utds arm off for that! jas :) Why would we write off a clause when we sell them another player?   If we'd brought a player off them I would say thats possible but surely not even our board would agree to waive the Ashton sell on as part of selling them another player. Am I missing something really obvious here?    Report

(Manchester, that is) As I understand it the only clause that has been waived is Ashton's international appearance fee - it being reduced from £125k to £25k. I'd be very surprised if the sell-on clauses for either Green or Ashton have been removed.    Report

I'd be very surprised if the sell-on clauses for either Green or Ashton have been removed. That was my understanding too. So the next question is, do we get a % based on the total fee or the money WHU have made i.e. 3 million if the transfer is 10 million. Also what is the %.......so many questions    Report
