My guess is £750k up front with £300k+ on things that probably won't happen; Ipswich promotion to the Prem, Harrison top goalscorer in Championship etc. Wouldn't surprise me if they promised us £1m if he ever gets an England cap..... Thought he was Welsh That was the joke........

www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2018/july/23.7.18-ellis-fee/Bristol Rovers have agreed an undisclosed fee with an unnamed club for the sale of striker Ellis Harrison. Ellis will therefore be given permission to discuss personal terms and will not travel with the squad to Holland for this week's training camp. The club will be making no further comment at this time.

Dear Bristol evening post, I really couldn't care what you believe the figure is. Your report when this started actually stated the rumour Ellis was off was via social media from fans at the open day. Just confirms your info is from fans/forums. Obviously if invited to the mem for any press conferences you'll class it as a scoop

Completely different scenarios. One was to try ward off potential buyers because we had an awful release clause and he knew city were closing in The other - the deal is done. How many times have the post been wrong? Yet DC plays one trick to try keep hold of his best player at the time and 18 months later you hold it against him and believe the post? The newspaper known for absolute bollocks? The paper who often gets players' names wrong, spelling mistakes all over the place & 99% of its stories are stolen from this forum... Yeah the copy writing is terrible, but as with anything I read I ask myself "what reason do they have for telling me this" and the club have a vested interest in divulging inaccurate information, a local paper less so- as the example with DC above proves. I'm have a lot of respect for DC's management credentials however I do think he tells us what we want to hear at times and I don't blame him for that as he is doing what is in the club's best interests, it just means that I take what comes out of the club with a grain of salt and am more likely to believe what is reported in the media as they have less reason to sugar coat things for the fans. I see your point, but I feel you're forgetting that the Evil Post, like many newspapers, are just all click baits - in answer to asking yourself "what reason do they have for telling me this" How many rubbish reports have they posted that weren't even relevant? I think there was one recently on something like "The players Bristol Rovers will be signing this summer" or something like that. It was shocking. The problem is the press are reactive rather than pro-active. They're copying another story from Ipswich (Which btw could also be them doing the same thing to sugar coat how much they're really spending). BBC Bristol said 7 figures as did DC - for me, that's good enough

It was never going to be £1.6m. I reckon £700/750 with the potential to rise to £1m with add-ons sounds about right to me. £700 to £1mil. That's a hell of a lot of add ons!

Bet the evil post were gutted that Ellis leaving was announced to the fans rather than via the press
