The Hard Truth - Inside the Football Industry with Darragh MacAnthony · S6 EP24: The Ins and Outs of Player Contracts · 19 Mar 2026 podcast

If we don't sell a first team player, if we need to get rid of debt, if we need to do whatever else, I can get between six to eight million by selling those fifteen players to Premier League clubs. podcast-host

So the academy, if you need it if you want to say it this way, can bail out your football club. podcast-host

You know, or if you didn't want to sell a Harry Leonard or a Lisby or whatever and you wanted to pick up a few million, well, you might forego that fifteen and sixteen year old and let them go out the door. podcast-host

Or do you make the decision, actually, no, I wanna make sure that fifteen, sixteen year old goes in the first team, because instead of getting five, six, seven hundred grand from, I might get four or five million from. podcast-host

Do you do you get what I mean? podcast-host

So so that that that's the flip to that, you know? podcast-host

valuations now. podcast-host

I've a valuation for the first team squad. podcast-host

Yeah. podcast-host

Which everyone always knows in my thing is north of twenty, thirty million plus, and I've a valuation for my academy. podcast-host

So whenever anyone asks about, you know, that and and I don't mean about transfermarket fucking dot com that everyone likes to go off, 'cause like I said to you. podcast-host

A lot of nonsense. podcast-host

We sold that from Mason Clark, and the same day we sold them for like four and a half mil or whatever it was, in there on transfermarket.com, they valued them at four hundred grand. podcast-host

So I never want to hear about that bunch of shysters, you know, regards their valuations when people always go, Yeah, but it's on transfermarket.com. podcast-host

So yeah, you know, capology and all that, like a lot of nonsense. podcast-host

I mean, like I said to you, we we podcast-host

You know, we pay a lot of wages, you know, people don't think we do, but you know, we w we're not poor players. podcast-host

We have academy players and a lot of less money. podcast-host

But what we do with our academy players, to give you a little insight and one last thing, I don't want to bore everyone. podcast-host

So say you get a player come through and they're on three hundred quid a week. podcast-host
