Kamil Conteh

Can you add a sell on if they have triggered a release?  I didn't think this is possible.

The release clause may stipulate a sell-on.

All depends on the nuances of the contract. If there is a sell on, which is speculation still, it’s quite possible the release clause is only triggered dependant on a sell on fee for future transfer also been included.

I can’t see any reason Conteh would have refused that, it doesn’t affect him, or why we wouldn’t insist - as most of the big money is I’d expect earned at this level through sell on clauses.

Equally the trigger figure could be a profit to us and not an overall cost.

Rovers transfer record is 450K and that was in 92/93

That in today's terms is £1,170,000

Quoted from RonMariner

Some reports suggest JS got £495 million for his match dot com shares. Not sure if that was ever verified from a reliable source or was just social media crap. Anyone know?

Not sure about Match.com, but Stockwood was CEO of Simply Business when it was sold for £400m ($490 USD) in 2017. However, SB's share structure will have been quite complex; Stockwood led a management buyout of the company in 2013, backed by private equity firm AnaCap, who subsequently sold their shares to Aqualine Capital Partners a 3 years later for £120m. What JS stood to make from those two transactions will depend massively on what kind of share % he retained at each stage, but I'd imagine anywhere between 2% and 10% is realistic.

If I had to make an educated guess as to his net worth, I'd suggest it's somewhere in the £10m to £30m range.

I think the clue here is in the wording isn't it?

Understand that Bristol Rovers are closing in on a deal to sign Grimsby Town midfielder Kamil Conteh after meeting the 21-y/o's release clause.

Could well end up being a club-record deal for the Gas following completion.

That to me suggests that it's got the potential to end up more than the fee paid for Andy Tilson.  So, for example, a fee now that's under the Tilson fee but then so much after 100 appearances, so much after promotion, so much after 10 international caps....all things that will add up to it and take it above the previous record.

Disappointed if the lad is going, was really keen to see how good he could get with us.  Most of us acknowledged after his first few appearances that we might only get to see him up until January.  To be honest I don't think he produced the performances on a consistent enough basis to suggest he would actually go this month, but the potential is of a ridiculous nature and I would imagine Rovers are getting in there now to avoid a scramble on the back of more consistency.

I think he was going to be key to how Artell wants to play, especially in terms of playing out from the back.  I like Green but he can't do that, so be interesting to see how Artell adjusts with that gap in midfield and who he wants to bring in to fill it.

Hopefully, it will beat the Tilson fee when adjusted for inflation.

£370k in 1992 is £780k in today's money...

Hopefully.

Bristol Rovers were a mid-table second tier club at that time though, signing a player from a side that were about to have a run of 5th, 8th and 9th placed finishes in the Premier League.

It only has to be more than £370k to be their club record , regardless of inflation. I can't imagine they will pay more than £450k.
