Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan stated on talkSPORT that he couldn't believe Newcastle United failed to include a sell-on clause for Elliot Anderson.

Multiple sources previously reported that Manchester City would sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson for a transfer fee of £116 million. According to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, when Anderson was transferred from Newcastle United to Nottingham Forest during the summer 2024 transfer window, Newcastle United included no sell-on clause.

In response, Simon Jordan said: "I can't believe Newcastle United didn't include a sell-on clause. This goes completely against common sense. If they truly don't have a sell-on clause, then every aspect of this deal seems extremely poor business. It's incomprehensible: a young player leaves the club, and you really don't want him to go, but you have no business acumen whatsoever. At the very least, you should include a 10% or 15% sell-on clause."

Anderson was transferred from Newcastle United to Nottingham Forest in 2024 for a £35 million transfer fee. Had a sell-on clause been included at that time, Newcastle could have received a substantial amount in additional revenue. Even if the sell-on clause applied only to Forest's profit on Anderson, Newcastle would still receive £8.1 million at a 10% rate, or £12.15 million at a 15% rate.
