Potential Windfall

[HappyClapper]

The Mirror are reporting that Lloyd Kelly is a target for Newcastle in January. I’m assuming we have a sell on clause, so would be worth a few million if true.

Ashtons fault.

[BCFCGav]

This plus maybe 1 sale (though I'm not sure who...) would allow Nige to get one or two more faces in. Considering his current acquisitions are Atkinson, Simpson, Tanner, James and King that's good news (I realise Simpson is contentious but if nothing more than a mentor for Tanner he'll have use).

Why would he want to play in the Championship next season?

[hinsleburg]

Having watched Kelly earlier for Bournemouth this season he easily looks like he could make the step up.

Was delighted when we got what we did for him, in hindsight I wish we held out for more! (Appreciate at the time though it seemed a good deal all round for all parties!)

[M.D]

Even if he doesnt want to go to Newcastle, this could nudge any other interested partys to make a move for him..

[Bar BS3]

Odd that Transfer market have his current value listed as £9m - I know that's far from accurate, but as a guide..! 

Having sold him for £13m+ it would take a huge transfer fee to net us anything like "millions" 

IF (&that's a big IF, based on the size of the initial fee) we had a 20% sell on clause, then it's going to take a fee of £25m+ to net us that kind of windfall. 

Possible, of course, especially at his young age, but for a player who's, unproven at Premier league level, and the possibility that the sell on clause may be 10% rather than 20%, I don't think we should get too excited at the hope of this bolstering our transfer budget my any significant amount - all helps though, of course.

Newcastle will certainly be paying £25+ million for multiple players in January.

A player is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. 

He had bad injuries in their Premier league season and with the covid factor, people ain't worth what they would be usually. 

But I'd agree, that does seem a tad low in my opinion.

As @Coxy27 says above, I think Newcastle would be the most beneficial suitors for us.

Their new owners will be bucking the trend & splashing cash around over the next few windows. To appease their fans if nothing else. 

Whether a championship CB will be the statement they want to make, may be questionable. 

If they are as wealthy as is being touted, then they may be happier paying more for a bigger name. 

Eddie Howe obviously knows him though, so that may be irrelivent.

[wendyredredrobin]

Normally 20% of the profit, so if we sold him for £13m and he is sold for £23m we net £2m as I understand it, but even though the Magpies may have cash to splash, I can't see them paying that much for a Championship defender.  However even a £5m mark up would net us £1m which we can put towards buying the No. 9 we so desperately need.

Newcastle will be great for everyone. Absolute cash cow to milk.

Have a player is worth £10 million?? charge Newcastle £15 million if they get in touch. Get a huge mark up if they come calling as everyone knows they have the money. 

Championship players will want to go there. Premier league players I'm not so sure because its a relegation battle from the off.

The way the transfer market used to work it was more like £10m to £200m for a team like Newcastle .

[tin]

Any potential windfall will be a percentage (20%?) of the profit Bournemouth make on what they paid us (£13m) for him, so it might not net us a huge sum in the current market.

I'd like to know if Kelly's sell-on applies to all future sales as is increasingly the case. That could be worth serious cash.

[Davefevs]

FWIW I have Kelly down at £15m plus £6m of add-ons plus a sell-on, from a very credible source.

On the basis of a 20% sell-on:

£20m - nets us £1m

£25m - £2m

£30m - £3m

etc.

All very useful, but not earth-shattering in the context of our losses.

[The Bard]

He's not the sort of player they need right now.  Much better suited going for experienced Premiership types and paying them shedloads.  Dunk, Webster, Mings, Tarkowski, Coady, Mee, Bednarek.  1 of those plus maybe a Kelly type.  They also need a midfielder of the ilk of Ward-Prowse.  Get 2 leaders in now as well as 2 or 3 proven players where needed.  Best off raiding their immediate rivals as they need to first overtake the likes of Southampton, Leeds and Palace.

Yes, it is, but it becomes diminishing returns, and only continues as long as the player is sold for a profit.

An example:

Kelly sold £15m with 20% sell on to Bournemouth 

Bournemouth sell him to Newcastle for £25m (£10m profit / 20% - City get £2m) with a 10% sell on

Newcastle sell him to Liverpool for £50m (£25m profit / 10% - Bournemouth get £2.5m, but City get 20% of that, so £0.5m) no sell on

A. Liverpool sell him to AC Milan for £75m (the chain has stopped because Newcastle has no sell on agreed).

B. Liverpool sell him to Aston Villa for £35m (the chain would stop regardless of whether Newcastle had agreed a sell on or not, because there is no profit.

[CodeRed]

Everyone assuming any windfall from the sale of Kelly goes straight to NP for new players?  We are about to post record losses so won't the playing budgets remain as is and this unexpected windfall (if it happens) will just go towards offsetting some of the losses?

That would be my guess

Very much suspect it’s games and caps related.

In Wells’s case I believe some of the add-ons were promotion related….so we’ve not had to shell-out on those.

Brownhill’s might’ve been “avoid relegation” add-on.  I don’t know that level of detail.  In fairness I don’t know any of the detail 100% sure, but happy with what I have in my spreadsheets

I know some sell on fees are not just based on profit, but on any value of a future fee. There are so many permutations used. In this case, the add ons were worth half of the fee, so there must have been some easy triggers in that. Brownhill might be the other one to watch . 

Yes, with Kodjia there was talk about whether it was a 40% profit or 20% of the fee….but I think that was Angers fans getting excited, or maybe stuff getting lost in translation.

Webster, I heard stories that Ipswich had only put a 10% profit in.

Adam Armstrong’s transfer had a 40% profit sell on in it….so Z Newcastle did alright out of his recent £15m move (£10m @ 40%).

Forgive me, didn't write it fully. I meant it from a financial prospective from clubs who can milk Newcastle for all its worth because they know they have so much cash. 

You're absolutely right regarding all you've noted though. The sheer hypocrisy for them to be even allowed to own a club is a joke.

The issue becomes the player. If he wants to go and the interest is real then it becomes hard to keep a player who would rather be somewhere else. Performance and value can slip quickly. 

[pride of the west]

Assuming Newcastle were interested at 25 mil which is the point any sell on becomes worthwhile in the grand scheme of things, would we perhaps be better off if he stays at Bournemouth for the time being with any other potential add ons we may have put in place that would become null and void if he moves?

Just putting it out there. 

Say a sell on would net us 2mil now. What if for instance we have money on 75 appearances and then 100 appearances? Plus a big bonus should he get an England cap? Its only going to take a good start next year in the prem and maybe an injury or two and southgate will be looking. He's already well on the radar in that regard. I dont think it's beyond the realms of possibility that staying put and hitting targets would net us more. 

[Davefevs]

I’ve no idea what happens to add-ons when a player transfers again.  I’d imagine they are no longer applicable, but I can’t find anything that 100% confirms it.  Sell-ons we know continue until a player stops being sold for a profit, or no sell-on is agreed in a future transfer.

Far from an expert, but I have discussed deals of this nature with an agent in the past. It really depends on the contract of course . There are some where the adds on become permanent in the event of a sale, meaning that in this case the £6M becomes due on sale. Others where the percentage sell on is varied depending on the status of the add ons. So for example if the add ons have been paid there is an x percentage of profit, or y percentage in the event the player moves early. As ever there are so many variables. There is quite a lot of sophistication , though if in the case of Kelly , 30% of the fee was variable, you would have to think that if he is sold on, we would have got close to that original fee requested. The issue then, is that for Bournemouth, any sale is pretty pointless as their profit will be minimal unless it is a fee nearer to £30M. They have him on a long contract and are going to be in the Prem next year. Kelly may have his ideas of course, Newcastle are a huge club and Howe is his man. You can never tell. Looking from the outside, he is probably best staying where he is, getting promoted, performing in the Prem and getting a renewed Liverpool interest for example. 

From our point of view it is unknown how much, if any of the add ons we have had and when. But we could do with a few million right now !!! Brownhill could yet be a surprise move in January too. Come on come we need these moves to happen !

Ta for the insight.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/59527230

I like Micah Richards, especially those top ten programmes.  Great watch!

Re add-ons, been reading up on some previous tribunal decisions, here’s one

AARON CRESWELL

Aaron Creswell had made 70 or so league appearances for Tranmere Rovers when, aged 21, he rejected a new long term contract offer.  He signed for the Championship club Ipswich Town on a three year contract.

The PFCC decided that Ipswich Town should pay Tranmere Rovers an initial compensation fee of £240,000.

An additional £45,000 was ordered in respect of the player making 15, 30, 45 and 60 appearances for Ipswich Town. - appearances at 15 game increments, not stuff like 100, gives more likelihood of some of them being achieved.

 An additional £100,000 was ordered should Ipswich Town achieve promotion to the Premier League in the next 3 seasons. - this appears to be linked to club, regardless of whether player still there.

Tranmere Rovers are to receive 20% of any profit made by Ipswich Town in selling the player to another club at any point in the future.

I largely agree. However it would seem tomeNewcastle will be on an Xmas shopping spree with their new found oil billions. The Saudi’s did not take over to watch them get relegated. Guess we will see.

That's just madness isn't it? I'd struggle to keep a check on reality if I came into 50k a week now. If I was 18 and they were paying it to me every week I'm not sure I'd be here.

very true,i fully understand why he would go,if the fig top ckub offers are true bournemouth would surely have to offer him a better deal because as things stand,looks like they will need him next season in the prem. 

[Davefevs]

These things tend to be 15-20%.

Fee was £15m from what I was told.

If he does move and let’s say it’s 20%, then I can’t see Bournemouth selling for less than £25m, so £2m to us. £30m is £3m to us.

It would help cover some costs and I’m sure would allow us a bit more wiggle room.

@billywedlock beat me to it!

Interesting to see Kelly not in their squad tonight - can’t see them selling him for anything less than £30m, especially in Jan.

£3m would come in very handy - I’m sure SL would then give Nige a tad more to spend….
