Would imagine the Davison fee was c.100K, maybe less.

75,000

Wimbledon mate reckons around £250k! They're saying it broke their transfer record which was previously £180k.

If Davison goes for £250k, then no wonder Morecambe wanted £650k for Stockton

Imagine breaking the bank for Josh Davison then watching him play 

Charlton and on

Imagine getting a new manager who pays a club record fee for Josh Davison and then signs Chris Gunter

200k+ for Davison is decent going if true.

Athletico Charlton

Good luck to him but I am glad it is not my club who has broken their transfer record to sign him!  If £250K is true then I worry about JJ's judgement!

mendonca

As if we got that much for him. Probably 50k.

Airman Brown

Someone involved at Wimbledon told me £160k.

Seems about right, in the middle of the optimists and pessimists guesses

Without wanting to stir anything up…what’s the guesstimate of what we made on out going transfers (Davison) and former player % sell ons (Pope, doughty) this summer?

That sounds more reasonable. But they're reporting that it broke their transfer record.

That's quite a bit for him! Shame we didn't reuse the fee. Shambolic in fact.

Which is still way more than I expected us to get for him. I was expecting the fee to be "nominal"

You do realise that free transfers are not free? Signing on fees, agent fess. 

How much of that fee would we have received up front? Is it in instalments, games played, promotion etc?

AFC Wimbledon are on a very tight budget, as all their money went on the new stadium and I believe they sold a number of multiyear season tickets so won't have that income again this year 

They sold Rudoni to Huddersfield for about 800k i think.

I do realise that and blend it with frustration, hence my comment.

Anyone else read the thread title as "Joy Division - sold to Wimbledon' ?

If the fee was a record, which my source also said, the quoted amount would be fixed. It might be paid in instalments but that’s irrelevant.

You don’t include contingent amounts until they are triggered. It’s also possible their previous record was not accurately recorded.

That’s the figure Cawley has reported today.

so, the only fee we paid to a football club was to Swindon for Garner & his crew. Was he supposed to be the replacement striker......
