We made a loss in real terms - bought for £30m, sold for £25m, potential £9m loss factoring in wages according to those bullsh*t wage websites.
In PSR fakery - bought for £30m year 1 on a 5-year contract, so book cost reduces by £6m each year and his wages are £4m/year. Book cost at end of year 1 is £24m.
We've reportedly sold him for £25m, so a small book profit of £1m - £4m wages = net £3m book loss
So, in real money terms, we made a substantial loss. But actually if you look at it from Clearlake's lens, run the numbers, dot the Is, cross the Ts, account for xG, xA, xA + npXG and factor in all that can be factored - we also made a loss.
