Claimed that they sold Tyler Morton to Lyon for £15m plus add ons.

The real figure disclosed by Lyon (as a publicly listed company) is €10m or £8.7m plus add ons.

Why do the shite always do this? It’s like North Korea.

All these net spend figures based purely on reported transfer fees are a load of nonsense. Firstly, nobody really knows the exact sums paid for players most of the time. Then, you have add-ons, increased wages, bonuses, agents fees, image rights, amortisation, length of contracts etc. etc. to factor into the deals.

Selling a homegrown player, that was on relatively low wages, for say £15 million spread over four years doesn’t have the perceived impact in offsetting against a huge transfer fee paid out for a £120 million player that’s going to be on £300,000 a week. Its just the media presenting massively simplified figures for basic-brained Kopites to spout about in the boozer to an uninterested audience.

Correct.
I’ve asked kopites, many, many times why wage bills are never part of the conversation when it comes to clubs spend.
I’ve even had a reply of one of them
‘What’s wages got to do with anything?’

Stopped talking to him, then.

When they buy a player for, say, £50 million with add ones, it’s reported as £50 million.
When they sell a player with add ons, the initial figure plus add ons is reported.
Been going on for years.

They have always inflated the fees they get while using a lower fee when buying to make them look like shrewd operators it keeps the great unwashed happy

Indeed, whilst using another transfer to conveniently offset the cost of a current one
