A football transfer fee? Yaar, in our lower division, it's not one big cheque like they show on TV. We pay in instalments over years, like a loan for a new autoclave. Add-ons? Only if we get promoted, which is a big 'if'! Sell-on clauses are a joke here—we're the last stop before players retire to a government job.
From my shop, I know: a fancy 'hospital contract' payment plan also comes in bits, never the full amount upfront. So when a big club says they paid 50 crore in one go, I just laugh and tighten a valve.
