  1. ↑ A clause was included in the transfer which stipulated that York would receive an additional £50,000 should Reading earn promotion during the lifetime of Murty's four-year contract. [23] York claimed that they were owed the payment after Reading won promotion in the 2001–02 season, although Reading argued that the clause no longer applied as Murty had signed a new contract a year earlier. [24] The two clubs agreed on an undisclosed settlement in September 2002. [25]
  2. ↑ York received an additional £210,000 from a sell-on clause when McCarthy left Port Vale for Birmingham City for a £1.5 million fee in September 1997. [27] [28]
  3. ↑ An appearance-based clause meant that an additional £100,000 would be paid to York for every 5 first-team appearances up to 50 that Greening made for Manchester United. [30] As he made 27 appearances for Manchester United, [31] York received £500,000 in total from this clause. [32] Another contractual clause meant that York would receive 25% of the difference between the fee received by Manchester United should he be transferred and what York had already received from United. [33] York received £287,500 when Greening left Manchester United for Middlesbrough for a £2 million fee in August 2001. [34]
