They sold him for £3.2m to Norwich, Therefore we were entitled to 25% of the £2.7m profit that Peterborough made. So £675,000. We were entitled to that money immediately under the terms of the deal, but Peterborough were only getting the money from Norwich over a period of time (the length of Bennett's contract at Norwich) so couldn't afford to pay us up front. We did a deal to delay our cut so the deal could go through.

I’ve no doubt we will have a sell on and he’ll probably end up paying the shortfall for this season. He is the most talented player we’ve permanently had since before we were relegated. Shows how shite Jolley was for freezing him out.

Guest User	Does it actually matter if we have a sell in clause?  Say it’s 5% and he sells for £3m, great £150k for the club........ but wait....... the major shareholder who has absolutely no power at the club (oh really) steps in and wipes £150k off the clubs debt to him. Get your red crosses out Fenty sycophants

Get your red crosses out Fenty sycophants Short term pain for long term gain through, surely? I hope Fenty takes every available penny out as we won't make any real progress till he is gone. His benign loans mantra was just a clever use of words as he obviously wants every penny back, however undeserved. We just need one big transfer fee to enable him to take his money back, and hopefully, leave us alone.

We got more from Bennett’s sell on fee than we did the initial fee. With prices inflating like they are, we could be due a hell of a payday for Dembele

You might have read it but unlikely to be true. If you imagine that he was sold 5 times over the years and there was a sell on clause each time by all previous clubs he would become unsellable as his sale price would have to include all these sell on fees. Turn it into a maths question and see what you end up with.

He was sent home from the FIFA under 17 World Cup for being over aged wasn't he and that's still the date of birth he uses. No one will pay a decent fee for him without getting a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) done on his wrist to determine his true age. And if the result comes back and he's significantly older no one will touch him.
