Over the last ten years:
IN: £2,747,500
OUT: £16,185,000
My god, selling club anyone??
But in the last ten years we've achieved 1 Play Off campaign, one Runners Up place, and one Championship.
Also been relegated a handful of times.

Teams down in our league have to be sellin clubs, or we'd never get anywhere, and im guessing that a good 50% of them players you sold could been sold for more money, but, becuase your a small club (and I dont mean any offence by that) bigger teams know this, and offer silly amounts becuase they know that you will have to accept.
So many players have been sold by Huddersfield in the past for less than they are worth, but, due to them being able to walk away for free when the contract ends, they have been sold 
You produce a gem in our league, and no doubt within a few months, he'll be bought off by a bigger club, get paid more money, and leave

You're spot on Danny mate.
Matty Taylor went for free and the tribunal set a fee of £750k. A fee which caused then-Luton manager Joe Kinnear to lament, "at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask".'
Some deals were good for us, but most were a joke. But as we have to sell to survive, something that the 'big clubs' realise, they take the piss with smaller bids.
Not much talent left in the lower leagues, they get snapped up at the first sign of any potential.

Aye
Winds me up as you'll invest a lot of time & effort in a player, bring him up through the Academy, nurture him in the reserves, give him a chance at first team football, then some other club comes in and offer him the big money and he's off like a shot
No justice, or loyalty, in football these days

Also, the money we made, all £13,437,500, where the fuck did it go?
People on our fansite have worked out that after wages, rent on the stadium, overheads.....etc.... Thats about £2,500,000 that has gone missing.
We're run by crooks
