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

It's happened to us with like with a player in the Premier League that was two appearances short of two hundred grand for us and he got sold. podcast-host

And we at the time hadn't put in pro rata. podcast-host

This was years ago. podcast-host

Those mistakes never get made again. podcast-host

So what would happen is when the player gets sold, you would get paid on the eight he did make, not the two he didn't make out of the ten. podcast-host

So, you know, you could say that we had to give, I think, Exeter another twenty grand for Archie Collins playing X amount of games. podcast-host

And if Harry Leonard scores X amount of goals, he gets X amount more goals to Blackburn or you know, Blackburn. podcast-host

I at no point have I ever rang the manager and said, Don't play him because we need to pay. podcast-host

Now, if we got to May. podcast-host

And I don't know, let's say Harry needed to make an appearance and it would trigger a fifty grand payment to Blackburn. podcast-host

I might say, Well, let's put that into next year's cash flow. podcast-host

Yeah. podcast-host

So there's no point in playing, you'll play in August and we'll because that might help us during the shit month of June for bills. podcast-host

Blackburn will understand that and know that that's the law the game, that will go on everywhere. podcast-host

Um I've seen that happen. podcast-host

You're managing your podcast-host

No, because he's gonna play the games, you know what I mean? podcast-host

So at the end of the day and and should he have got sold, they will end up getting the backlog of nine appearances or whatever it might be anyway, because it's pro rata. podcast-host

So yeah, you know, you read about those things like read about Nunez with Liverpool. podcast-host

And some of those things might be right. podcast-host
