Sell-on clause backout

Just noticed this option to sell the rights to your sell-on clause for a player. It was for a player who was sold a couple of seasons ago, some guy I signed on a free from Barcelona who never looked like getting into the first team. Sporting offered me however much plus a 30% of the profit of his next sale.

I was checking the clauses option in the transfers and the board had came to an agreement to 'sell' the sell on clause for £190k. I was happy enough to do that because frankly I'm sure the guy will end up being released at the end of his contract.

Just wanted to ask, was this available before FM10? And if not, did anyone mention it was in this version?

Interesting; I've never seen that before.

Never heard of this. Derivatives in FM? =D

Was it mentioned in the new features for FM10? I don't remember. It's pretty minor so probably not.

EDIT: Proof I wasn't hallucinating

The players that have buyout clauses available are shown in the Transfers/clauses section, and are indicated by a dot to the left of them. You can have options to buy out the clause(pay cash so the team you bought the player off cancels a clause) or sell a clause - thus recieving cash for a player you've sold with a clause.

It was raised as a new feature in the pre-launch blogs.
