First all this stuff about player loans within the Premiership, and now this.
So Man United, a club not exactly in financial distress, are getting paid through the success of a completely different club in a different country ?
Whatever happened to Bosman style attitudes about how clubs don't "own" players any more ?
Manchester United have reached agreement with Real Madrid to receive £11million of the transfer fee for David Beckham in a lump sum.
...
Under the deal, the club will collect £860,000 each time Real qualify for the Champions League over the next four seasons.
The same amount is also payable if the Spanish club go on to reach the quarter-finals of the competition in those seasons.
