BLACK CATS AGREE BELLION FEE Thursday 16th October 2003 Sunderland have reached an agreement with Manchester United over the transfer of David Bellion to Old Trafford. The Division One side had requested a tribunal to sort out compensation for the transfer of the Frenchman, but the hearing has now been postponed with a compensation package of �2 million being agreed.
Bellion joined United in the summer, with Sunderland entitled to a fee for his services, despite the Frenchman being out of contract. The compensation package also includes further build up payments worth up to �1 million, payable on appearances and international call-ups. A sell-on clause ensuring Sunderland will benefit from any future transfer of Bellion has also been negotiated. Sunderland chairman Bob Murray was happy at the deal being sorted. "We're happy with the package and feel that it is entirely deserved as we lost an exciting and talented young player," said Murray. "It is to the benefit of both clubs that we have been able to reach an agreement without the need for a tribunal." Meanwhile, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will appear before a Football Association disciplinary hearing next Monday to answer misconduct charges following his sending off at Newcastle in August.
