thegaffer91 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 most of us, when buying players, have a percentage of profit clause in the transfer deal. this can be annoying when trying to sell players, selling them for a certain amount but hten seeing some of your money go to the other club. that is why i have set up this equation to help you work out how much to put them up for. a= official asking price b= personal value of the player c= % of next profit to previous club d= price paid when purchased a = (b - (c*d))/(1-c) i believe my maths is correct. with the percentages, make 15% 0.15, 40% 0.4 etc. i hope this helps if anybody has any questions, please feel free to ask EDIT: ill do an example. I have a player who i want to sell for £5m. there is 15% profit clause to his former club i initially payed £2m for him the calculation is such: (5-(0.15*2))/(1-0.15) this equals £5.5m, the amount to sell said player for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackje Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Not to put to fine a point on it, but its a bit of a pointless formula because it for the most part revolves around how much the player means to you, the £5M in your example. That has nothing to do with any of the formula, you have already decided that number based on all kinds of factors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffer91 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 cheers platty, im an A grade a level maths student and i wanted to know this as im having a reserve team clear out at the end of my season, so i thought i might as well share it. Quackje, the point of the formula is to work out how much to sell them for to get that £5m, as if you sold them for £5m then you wouldnt get all of the money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackje Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Well of course, but its just so obvious to work out how much you have to pay them. Also it doesn't take into account any sell-on to the next club and how much you might expect to make from that, quite often I use that to ensure I get the best value for the player which could easily go into my, I want £5M for him total.

thegaffer91 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Fair point Quackje. personally i dont generally use sell on clauses any more as i have ruined almost sown up deals with it before. im just putting it out there for people who want to use it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnakai Haaskivi Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Nice formula. Would it change if you're dealing with a "% of total sale" clause instead of a "% of total profit" clause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffer91 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 cheers magnakai. yes it would change to: a = b/(1-c) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnakai Haaskivi Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 If c=% of profit to previous club, would I just use "0" there? If so, than a=b, which I don't think is what you mean... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffer91 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 sorry, should have said, for that equation use c=% of total sale instead of % of total profit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyriddle Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 thats stupid if the player is worth 2M i can at least get about 6.5M for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
