It’s competitive, but he didn’t start

So if he came on during the World Cup final and scored the winner it wouldnt count?

That's ridiculous. The add on should be triggered by an appearance in a competitive match, not a start.

The quote said Rovers get the payment when he STARTS a competitive match for England

Which may or may not be true, but that's what Jackson stated in his article that I linked

Any add on is triggered by whatever is written in the contract.  Which in turn comes down to how desperate Rovers were to make the sale in order to keep the lights on

It could say that Rovers get £1Bn if Wharton is the first dog on the moon

Whether it’s a fee for a competitive appearance or a starting bonus, any money coming in feels like a bonus. For me, I just love seeing Adam on the big stage. He’s earned it, his family has earned it, and so have we as supporters. Hopefully, the club benefits too. The more young players see talents like Wharton coming through our system, representing the club, and then progressing to bigger opportunities, the stronger we’ll become as a club.

A bonus for Venkys, not for Rovers unfortunately, income does not increase our budget, this has been reiterated by Gestede, Pasha etc on multiple occasions

Tim, Everything you say there makes perfect sense for normal clubs… alas we aren’t one, this club isn’t going to be any stronger as a result.

The man Tuchel keeps on winning,appears to have a good rapport with this group of players.

I would have thought last nights game would be classed as “ competitive “.

It is but I misread the original statement competitive Starts

The only good thing as far as I can see is we’ll be able to say to potential young players - “If you sign for us you’ll get a chance early on if you’re good enough - you could be the next Adam Wharton “.

Im not particularly interested in us developing players for other Clubs, however old, I only want to see players doing well in the blue and white halves and us winning football matches as a result.

Selling someone for a huge fee gives me as a fan  no benefit or enjoyment whatsoever. Quite the reverse. Then there's the added factor to be taken into account that unlike at any other normally run Clubs it doesn't appear to make any significant difference to our transfer budget anyway.

Obviously, I want Adam Wharton to do as well as possible as he genuinely loves the Club and it wasnt his fault he left, he was pushed out of the door way before his natural time to pay the bills.

In the case of say Phillips Id be completely neutral. I dont wish him any harm, but at the same time Id get no enjoyment out of him playing for England whatsoever. It'd only be a brutal reminder of how badly we were shafted on him.

Yes, you are right, however, even if the budget doesn’t change, I still think this can help the club in other ways like continuing to build our academy reputation and encouraging young players to come through the system and want to stay with us instead of jumping to the first club that comes along that offers sparkly shiny things. Hopefully, that kind of progress benefits the club even if we don't see a penny of any bonus clauses. 

Again, as mentioned by another person, at a normal club that would happen but this is Rovers 🤣

That's always assuming Jackson got it right.

So as I alluded to last night, shocking negotiation by Rovers if true.

So hypothetically, he could come on as sub throughout the WC and be a difference maker off the bench in many of the games, and score the winner in the Final, and it wouldn't count!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Judging by Rovers over-the-top reaction to Mr Jackson, he knows it all....first team starters, the lot! 😂
