Biggest transfer fee for LOI player ?

[Tony Soprano]

Anyone know what the biggest fee received by an LOI club is ?

Straight up fee, and also add ons and % of sell on fee

Has any LOI club ever received a big sell on fee ? Would Cork (or receiver) have gotten anything if Kevin Doyle had moved from Wolves this summer ?

[Saint_Charlie]

Didn't Cork sell their rights to any future % when they were up the creek a few years ago? Think it went for 100k

[osarusan]

I think Cork lost something like 600,000 euros by doing that?

[Tony Soprano]

roughly 10% of the 6.5m wolves paid reading ? ouch

[Dodge]

I'd imagine Cork selling Roy O'Donovan was the highest

[Duggie]

would it not be fahey to birmingham???

[**FrOsTy**]

We sold Daryl Murphy for 100K. Seem to remember Alan Bennett went for 300K+. Did Coventry pay for Deegan?

[outspoken]

I seem to remember a Cork player going for 350,000 , 400,000 thousand cant rember who though.......would it have been Houlghan

We sold Joe Hanrahan to Manchester United for £30k in 1985. That'd be pushing E150k in today's money I'd say?

Thanks. I was using a more scientific method (http://www.finfacts.ie/Private/bestprice/guinnessindex.htm) though. :)

I think Roy O'Donovan went for something like 400k-500k. It might have been £350k sterling which was close to €500k at the time I think.

[galwayjames]

keith fahey going to birmingham was probably the biggest as that was 700k

plus roy o'donovan went for 500k in 2007

and dave mooney went for 254k in 2008.

Paul McGrath St. Pats Ath to Manchester United
£10,000 + Friendly game IRL£10,000 (estimate) + 1st Republic of Ireland Senior cap £10,000.
I don't know the other two currencies.

I sold jason byrne for 1m in championship manager :)

[SkStu]

Did Coventry pay for Deegan?

about e80k.

[Ciaran W]

80k ? Hes a smashing footballer, hes worth well more then that.

[SkStu]

he was out of contract.

[Ciaran W]

Alright thats grand so. I seen on his wikipedia thats hes been getting a few games but are all of them off the bench or has he been getting his game ? Ive been looking out for his name on gillette soccer saturday but it has not come up yet.

[sligo23]

We were offered massive money, afew million I think, for Xano on several occasions but we refused. The lad is not for sale.

Harps sold Brendan Bradley for £150 in 1975 to Lincoln City, £50 more than they paid for him in 1969.£150 could buy you 7 tvs, 1 washing machine and 40 crates of molotif cocktails at the time. He came home after I think 13 appearances(?) homesick!

as far as i know Ciaran, he got injured pretty badly either in post-season or pre-season....

he injured his ankle while stepping up his recovery from his ankle injury in April - out for 3 to 4 months from July.

[Ciaran W]
