Without inside knowledge of the deal there's no way of knowing for sure. My guess, because we're clearly having some cashflow issues, is that we've taken a slightly lower fee (albeit that might just be because he's on his last year under contract) in exchange for as much of the fee being frontloaded as possible, i.e. we get the money now. £1.6m isn't exactly a large sum in today's market, Bristol have surely got the means to pay that up front. Clubs tend to spread fees over time when they're particularly large, i.e. I'm fairly sure that our £8 million deal with Boro for Rhodes was staggered over 4 years.

Thanks for the answer gho, I think I could have phrased the question slightly better. I didn't mean it from the perspective of actually receiving the cash (as I don't believe we are short of cash) I meant it more from an ffp perspective i.e. would it be allowable as income all straight away or dies that in itself depend upon the structure of the payments.
