that when we sold Joe Lewis to Posh, we added some sell-on clauses

eg millions of pounds if / when he plays for England, gets sold on etc.

One of the ways we may have paid for Martin might have been to drop / reduce some of those clauses. So reducing the cash we would have needed to shell out now (or, possibly, ever).

Maybe.
