Foxes agree Mills fee

Foxes agree Matt Mills fee
Reading accept bid for defender in the region of £5million

When he left Rovers, was there a clause in his contract saying we'd get 10& or 20% if they sold him on?

Good old Sven loves spending other peoples money doesn't he. However, good news for us as that should be worth a good half million to Rovers.

If it £500,000 true than great news for Doncaster Rovers & I got feel money will go to wage bill because of £1.5m loss

BBC reckons it is "in excess of £5m" we did a good bit of business for Mills in hind sight, no way we could have held on to him, think we've got all we could out of it.

Wouldn't begrudge the board if they pocketed the money, they have been propping us up last few seasons.

If the Board did pocket the money, I think you would find that this would be theft, the player's registration was held by the club and not an individual, as directors they are duty bound to protect DRFC, not take money from it, I think that your comment is a wee bit dangerous my friend

I'm not saying they would literally pocket the money! I'm saying I wouldn't complain if it wasn't given to SOD to spend. Jeeeeeez

It would be interesting to know whether it was a 10% or 20% sell on clause.

ionlywishicould - I should clear up my last comment. I didn't mean literally give SOD the money to spend, as it is the clubs money, not one individuals. I meant the club could make the money available so that SOD could advise the club on where the club might invest the money (or not).

According to Paul Goodwin's Twitter thread it's 25% drfchound.

Actually then a later comment says 20% of any profit which sounds more realistic.

Yep, that does sound more realistic, but it would still represent about £700k.
Pretty astute business by whoever had that written into the deal.
