always thought it was to keep fans happy. the selling club can suggest they got x, the buying club that they spent y.Quote:

Most transfers aren’t lump sums and are over a few seasons I think.Quote:

Now bare in mind, the Hearts fans donated over £1m to the club a few seasons ago.
Surely they deserve to know the figures. Or do they?
Why should anyone think they have a right to know a company's business?
It's like fans saying player X ix on so many grand a week as if its a fact when in reality the figure was just made up to suit their argument.
Why does it matter what a club pays for a player? They obviously think he is worth it or they wouldn't buy him.
