Ashton to Aston Villa!

[colneycanary 0]

Reports are coming out that Villa are to make a 12 million bid for Dean Ashton. We have a 15% sell on clause which would give us £1.8 million! It''s going to come a little too late for us to spend it!!!!

Think its 15% of any profit WHU make.   Could be wrong though.

Pretty sure your right it is just the profit we get

Isn''t it 15% of the profit west ham make which would be around £675,000. Both great sums of money and a great positive for the club.

''He was transferred to West Ham on January 22, 2006 for a fee of £7 million,^[13] rising to £7.25 million with two £125,000 bonuses dependent on a future England call-up and possible European qualification while Ashton is at West Ham.^[14] Norwich also negotiated a 15% sell-on clause.''

Sounds about right so we would be due about £720k

Have we recieved any bonuses yet?

If the Villa deal happens expect the club to release a statement saying it also got waived in the Grant deal

[quote user="Delias Well Behaved Devonshire Dirtbox"]If the Villa deal happens expect the club to release a statement saying it also got waived in the Grant deal[/quote]That would make the cost of recruiting Grant more than Worthy''s payoff! If we were going to do that wouldn''t we just spend the money on a more established manager? Yes, I know it was future income, not cash in the bank, but I can''t see it myself.
