Hickey, Lafferty and Sow more than covered the CL mishaps in the transfer market. Over £3m alone from Hickey if this Brentford deal goes ahead.

Sometimes the sell on clause includes a percentage of all future income the club receives for that player, meaning that money from a deal can flow back through several clubs when a player is sold. Sometimes it is just a percentage of the original fee. Personally, I feel Hearts should always be looking to insert clauses when we sell players that relate to all future revenue. In the case of Hickey, it was reported by other posters that we were not due Celtic any more for the sale of Hickey. Then again it was the same event that Savage apparently said we would get a six figure sum when Hickey was sold. We also don't know whether our deal with Bologna just covers the upfront fee or would also include a percentage of add ons and any sell on clause they have with Brentford.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Hickey has played all this well. Earned moves from decent leagues but chosen teams that give him best prospects of playing consistently over no doubt higher £££s. 2 years from now he’ll have over 150 senior games under his belt in top leagues and will get his move as a starter to one of the big Champs league teams where he should stay for at least 10 years.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 3 hours ago, Doc Rob said: I thought Brentford was a bit of a disappointing destination for Hickey, but on reflection, it’s probably a good move for him right now. If he goes to a properly big team, he is unlikely to be first choice at his age and will have to wait for his chance. At Brentford he is presumably being signed as a starter. If he can shine for them for a year or two, the massive move will come. (We won’t get anything from it, but hey, I’ll take the £2-3m we think we’ll get) He'd appear to be following the same thinking he used when signing for Bologna although Bayern Munich were reported to be sniffing.

IMO I agree. He will be close to a record signing for Brentford so have to assume he will be a starter. The only risk (other than not being good enough to move up the way further or a horrible injury) is what happens if Brentford get relegated. That kind of blow that is to some degree outside his control, must be more likely at Brentford than Bologna. Players can disappear into the obscurity in the Championship.

Wouldn't give him any credits should really be looking at 3m plus % but we were in a very weak bargaining position. He never extended his contract as he had several big clubs after him. CL also never got us relegated. He was part of the reason, but he never got us relegated. We weren't even bottom when he left. We weren't relegated either, we got demoted by a vote, not relegated. Although no one wanted us playing in the championship, it Could even be argued that being in the championship during covid minimised our losses and we even got a grant rather than government loans, so the actual losses caused by demotion are debatable. So much wrong in such a short post, so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does deserve credit for this windfall though as well as he deserved to be punted and ripped for all the shan he brought in. Millions wasted will hopefully be gotten back with the sales of Lafferty and Hickey. We got unlucky with Soapy who should have made us a few bob tae. I don’t think those two cover the losses, welcome though they are. Lots of folk at the club deserve praise for Hickeys development in his time with us. Souttars injury problems were unlucky but also mismanaged, nobody is going to spend money on someone who wasn’t able to play 20 games in a row for us in six years.

Mulreny and Lafferty got us close to £1m as well in profit. This looks like our biggest amount from a player outside of Gordon, looks like around £3-£4m Hickey has gotten us. The simple folk will ignore his previous positive spells with us and even ignore this great bit of transfer business. How did the sale of Mulraney and Lafferty makes us a million in PROFIT ffs? Even for you that’s nonsense. Mulraney was sold for £200k, Lafferty £450k. When you deduct tax, wages, bonuses and agents fees we would be lucky to have made £100k.
