Peterborough chief Barry Fry says they’ll be due a bumper bonus from Brentford should Ivan Toney make his England debut next week.
Toney was named in the England squad for the first time yesterday.
One of the best wheeler-dealers in the business, Fry is not shy in admitting he is cashing in on a player who cost him £300,000 from Newcastle just over four years ago.
He would not divulge how much Brentford will have to fork out when he lands that first England cap.
But laughing, Fry told The Sun: “We’ve got a bonus if he spits, farts or f****** giggles!
“We’re brilliant with add-ons when we sell a player. We’ve got bonuses for appearances and goals etc. And I have to say Brentford are different class in paying up all the clauses, absolutely brilliant.”
The Bees shelled out an initial £5million for the ex-Northampton man which will rise to £10m with add-ons. And that move to West London may never have happened had Fry not stood his ground at Posh — and upset his star striker.
Fry explained: “The player, his dad and agent begged me to let him sign for Barnsley when they came in for him.
“I told him, ‘You want to sack your f****** agent for a start as you’re miles better than Barnsley’.
“I also told him, ‘I’ll make you a millionaire’ and I have — and I bet he’s f****** delighted now. Every time I go to Brentford now I see his dad and he’s full of smiles.”
