Coventry Chairman says we're taking a 'meaningful percentage'.

Coupled with Naylor's "Substantial sell on" a while back, that suggests the 10% rumour is too low.
Big question: is a meaningful percentage more or less than a substaintial percentage? 10% too low, me thinks, and anything above 30% too high. 20-25%? Could turn into even more further down the line if Coventry got their own sell-on when dealing with Sporting. If we had a 20% sell-on and Coventry now have a 20% sell-on, we should get 5% of the total fee (if my math is ok) if he get a big transfer in the future.

Still backs up my theory he’s not a premier league quality player

To me, 'meaningful' might not be indicative of an amount. 9% could be meaningful because it represents Gyokeres' shirt number. 4% could be meaningful because it's the numbr of years Coventry spent in their first home ground Dowells Field (thank you wikipedia). 69% could be meaningful because *giggles like a schoolboy*
Not sure 'meaningful' is appropriate a term for how big a percentage it is.

At the end of the day it’s irrelevant. He’s been sold. None of us know the sell on. We can’t control what he’s been sold for. We’ll get what we will.

Fwiw I wish we’d kept him instead of Connolly. A big POTTER fail imo.

The Avenue then Maloncho
Even £2 million is substantial
With the premier league money this is chicken feed, the club could give it to the poor, donate it to Southend United, buy us all a pint and let us transfer tickets to our mates free of charge, no one would notice.
Bloom could even go as far as wiping his arse with it or doing a KLF. It would go totally under the radar
Just sayin

In the scenario that Coventry have a 20% sell on and we would be entitled to 20% of whatever they got from that then we would get 4% of the total transfer fee (well profit on the transfer as sell ons are normally paid on profit made on the player not the overall transfer fee).

Never heard of a 40% or 50% sell on before - seems mentally high. 10% seems too low. So I’m guessing about 20%-25% standard…

I think Leon Knight had a 50% sell on when we got him from Chelsea. We were totally potless at the time and Chelsea had just become the richest club in Britain so I think this was in lieu of the £100k transfer fee we wouldn’t have been able to raise at the time*

So could the men's team, I'm sure it costs a small fortune to stay in the PL.
Every penny counts.
No it doesn't its not even 1 place in extra prize money. But each to their own when you see that the average wage for woman's salary is around 40k a year i hope you realize there is a massive difference. Brighton's income last year was around £168 million for the men's team.
edit: so the girls probably earn less in a year the the Men earn in a week, ok.

I'm pretty certain we have to pay IF Brommapojkarna a sell on percentage ourselves.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that's not how a sell on works. Once they've been sold on,  once that's the end of it
