Regarding Dongda He's move to Wolves, Hardy said at the time that the deal was lucrative and would only improve in time. Presumably that indicates that some kind of sell on or development clause was put in place? Let's hope so anyway! I think the standard required compensation for 4/5 years in a Cat. 3 Academy would be £50k/£62,500 (Unless that tariff has changed).
Nolan said at the time that AH had made a very good deal for the club under the circumstances so maybe it was more in the Dongda He case.
This comes from the most recent NCFC accounts and, I suspect, relates to Kion Etete but could, of course be any combination of other players too, including Bearne and Dongda. Interestingly though, the 'potential maximum' has risen from £165k to £810k over the year since the previous accounting period, so this extra £645k of 'possible future income' (or 'hopeful dreaming'!) must be new. Dongda signed a new contract until 2023 at Wolves so maybe that triggered an increase in 'potential'. Who knows.
It is good to know we're negotiating sell-ons anyway.
P.S. It was KN who played him in the pre-season matches I think.
