What is the largest?

What's the largest transfer fee a '2nd tier' club has spent on one player? Also, did they get promoted in that season?

No-one?

I have just googled this and could not find an answer. Biggest I can think of is Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (£2m) Plymouth - Wolves.

yakubu went to pompey for £4m, although that may have been after promotion when his loan became permanent

earnshaw must have gone about in the championship for some big fees - i think one of his moves to norwich was over £3m

Pretty sure Man City paid £5 million for Jon Macken when they were in the old division one.

Didn't Fulham spunk some big fees on their way to the Prem too, under Tigana and Keegan?
