Neither club would have dared see this tested in court. The relationship between sporting contracts and employment law is a very murky area and all sports clubs - Sale included - could end up losing some significant assets overnight, were some judge given a mandate to give the situation a good going over. So, while a fee has now been agreed it won't be anything like the £500k alluded to. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit under the £200k someone else mentioned. I think it likely that it won't be made public knowledge either.
