Thought the part two was gas alright. Would love to see someone get those sort of stories out of veteran LOI heads more often similar to the Under The Cosh podcast do with ex pro's/current ones in the later end of their careers in England and Scotland. Some hilarious stories and a great insight behind the scenes

Dan on LOI central this week mentioned Bohs have a sell on clause for Evan Ferguson - I wasn’t aware of that. It will surely be a big windfall in years to come. Dan mentioned that a conservative estimate would be 7-8m already! I guess that means the sell on clause is around 10%.
It's been suggested (possibly on this podcast) that its "up to 15%". It may be that the proportion would vary depending on the fee, rather than being a fixed percentage. So Dan's conservative estimate would imply a transfer fee of say €50m, which I think is reasonable.
(Irish pundits and fans getting absolutely carried away and jumping to nine-figure sums. I'm old enough to remember when Bazunu and Collins were among the best young players in Europe in their positions....)

So Bohs actually getting damn close to selling the same thing twice - if at first you dont succeed....Originally Posted by Philosophizer
Don’t speak too soon, if Ferguson is sold to Saudi Arabia I'm sure Bohs being the doers of all that’s good in the world will turn down every penny of the 10 or so million quid given the ethics involved and all that

That would be a very interesting situation to watch pan out! Id nearly ignore the undertones to this Saudi splashing the cash just for the curiosity value on this possibility.Don’t speak too soon, if Ferguson is sold to Saudi Arabia I'm sure Bohs being the doers of all that’s good in the world will turn down every penny of the 10 or so million quid given the ethics involved and all that
Well practically speaking it’s B&HA who’ll be paying this hypothetical money to Bohs. They’ll be cutting the cheque like.Don’t speak too soon, if Ferguson is sold to Saudi Arabia I'm sure Bohs being the doers of all that’s good in the world will turn down every penny of the 10 or so million quid given the ethics involved and all that
(I know you’re just having a laugh)
Nah! It'd be Brighton just forwarding on the Saudi cash - at least thats the line everyone would take just for the giggles!
Maybe Bohs should insist on a "Can't sell on to Saudi clubs" clause?
