I started my first real lower league challenge in Conference North and I brought in some decent youngsters who are performing so well that they have already attracted attention from big-clubs.

The player in question is valued at 140k and I got offers for him from Man. City, Leeds, Cardiff and Portsmouth.

All offers are in that region and the money would be very welcome because I am still 50k in debt.

What would be the best tactic for me to get as much as possible from this transfer. Should I go for the huge sell-on-fee (50%) + lower initial fee and cash-in (or maybe not) if he succeeds and transfer to a bigger club. Or should I ask for alot of money (say 400k up front).

His contract expires at the end of the year and I offered him a new contract but he hasn't signed it yet. I don't want him to leave on a free transfer, so I think that I got to do business in the january-window.

I hope I don't break any rules asking this.

You broke a rule, we don't give tips here. Read the header.

Not entirely true. He asked us to break a rule in order to help him. I'm not saying it's any better...

Bah, I'm just being pedantic. n1h, this is not the place for you to be asking this question. GQ might be better suited.

Semantics, semantics.

You have got to be kidding me...

ChrisP

No, I'm afraid he's not. If he was kidding he would say something like, "A man and a horse walk into a bar..."

retired_alice

I already figured it out.

What did the man and the horse do next?

retired_berrysale

"Ouch!"

Man and a horse walk into a bar.

Horse says to the barman "I'll have two pints of Guinness, please."

Barman says "There you go, that'll be £8, please. We don't get many horses in here."

"I'm not surprised" says the horse "At £4 a pint."
