    thought about this last night. With Shittu gone, we've sold pretty much a whole team from the prem squad since jan 2006. Just wanted to see if we got our moneys worth. (I know some of the fees aren't quite right please correct me I'm too lazy to check):

    Foster (return)

    Chambers 100k-ish (free)
    Shittu 1.6m (2m)
    Carlisle 100k(200k-ish)
    Stewart 125k (released)

    Young (9.65m)
    Spring 125k (100k-ish)
    Mahon (free)
    Bouazza (3m-ish)

    King 500k (3.5m-ish)
    Henderson 450k (2m)

    which makes a total sale of about 20m-ish from a team that cost about 3m

    Was it worth it?

    Lee (500k)

    demerit (500k)
    bromby (750k)
    sadler (1m)

    smith (priceless)
    eustace (800k)
    williamson (500k)
    mcanuff (1m)

    priskin (500k)
    robsinson (who knows)

    I reckon we may have made more income from tranfers in the past 3 seasons than in the rest of our history cumulatively.

    Spring was sold for 200k rising to 300k.

    Not that L*ton can afford to pay us the add-ons anyway!

    Trouble probably wasted the most money in our history too...

    Only doyley and demerit remain from the play off final.

    Just wanted to see what you thought of my changes although I would never have Williamson in the first team but thats just my opinion.
    So for a team that cost around 7.5m is probably worth just about 8.5m to 9m.

    Hmmm

    I'd say demerit worth more than bromby

    You'd get more than 400k for pigskin as well.

    Lee (250k) Academy

    Doyely (100k) Academy
    demerit (800k) Free
    bromby (600k) Deal worth up to 850,000
    sadler (600k) Initial fee £750,000

    smith (2.5m-3m) Re-signed £500,000
    eustace (400k) 250,000
    williamson (600k) About 500,000-600,000
    mcanuff (1.5m-2m) Rise up to 2m

    priskin (900k) Undisclosed about 1m

    I reckon you could do something similar for most non-top flight clubs over the past 3 seasons, especially ones at the more successful end of the spectrum like us.
