No they wouldn't
A sell on clause only involves the player moving once
You can't claim a percentage for any other subsequent move
I remember a couple of years ago a club trying to blag that the the sell on clause included any subsequent transfer in the future. I don't think they got away with itDepends, Im sure you can.

Complete off-topic... Kinky - 34,513 posts, and you're a SPURS FAN... what the f*ck??
Does anyone else on here not give a damn?
If we get anything for him, consider it a bonus.
PS a fiver says he's back in the UK within a year, complaining about being treated unfairly, abused by the fans, played out of position and under-appreciated by the boss.
I've always though it something of a crime the way Knight has handled this business. We were GIVEN £250k. We spent about £85k signing CKR, and the rest was to be used on his wages over THREE years. So, I'm presuming he was on somewhere in the region of £55k a year. Problem is, he was only here for one year. So the total outlay on him was £140k (£85k transfer fee, and £55k on one year's wages). At this point, there should still have been £110k in the pot. We then sold him for £150k, which in my mind should also be put back into the team. That's a total of £290k that, from what I can see, has not been used on a player - when the money has come from a fan winning a competition specifically for players only money. Now I realise the club probably haven't broken any rules, and there is no way the money has to be re-invested indefinitely, else we could be buying players with the same coke money in ten years, after six different signings. But, I do think that as CKR left the club 2 years before his original contract was due to expire (the time over which that money was to be used), the board have conned us big time out of £290k, and have effectively profited from a competition win that they had no right to.

Thanks for the info. Jam.
I only know a few snippets of what went on, but I felt that we were hard done by with his efforts. I am sure the Leon influence did not help.
When you compare him to someone like McShane who played his heart out, even though he was only here for experience, then there are obviously going to be detractors of him. Even if we were just a rung on the ladder, I expected more from him.
Good luck to him - He could have been a great Brighton player. All in all I am glad that we will be in line for a decent fee and that should be the end of this long saga. Well done again for winning the club even more money!
