Big Tom's on his way to Hull for £5m
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23699608
Key question - did we get a sell on clause and is it still in place ?
I believe we had a 15% sell on clause which would potentially get us around £400k but not sure if its still in place. I think we sold him for £1.5m but who knows with the 3 Amigos?
Spurs tend to buy out sell on clauses when the previous clubs fall into financial dificulties (ie Southampton had a c20% sell on clause on Bale which they bought out for around £1m when the Saints were in a financial mess).

We got £700,000 for him (according to my source). The Amigos said that the fee was 'up to £3m' at the time, but as has been stated, the clauses were cashed in for the loan of El Ham Sandwich.

Galv - The 3 Amigos were Derby's "owners" during the period when we sold (practically gave away) Huddlestone - all 3 of them subsequently did time at her majesty's pleasure for fraud. See attached.

Not related to Huddlestone really but just want to say what a talent Will Hughes looks! Watched you V Blackburn and he looked a step above and then last night for 21's he absolutely ran it. Do you think you'll hold on to him past the summer and how much do you think he'd go for?

Andy:
City have been sniffing around, as have various others.
We've (on 606) rated him anywhere from £5m to eight figures, but that speaks more to our history of getting sales wrong rather than to his ability.
We hope we keep him for the season and get up with him, but there's been talk of City buying and loaning back too.
"We don't know" is about the bottom line!

Careful Mr Happy, Not all 3 of the amigos went to prison. Mr Sleightholme didn't has he was the whistle blower. regarding Hughes, I'm not too worried this board will sell him cheap otherwise he would of gone before now. It will be difficult to keep hold of him till next summer but not impossible.

Amber, Sleightholme isn't one of the three amigos.
Ex-finance director Andrew Mackenzie, former chief executive Jeremy Keith and former director of football Murdo Mackay were all given substantial prison sentences for defrauding Derby County.
