how about

we send Earnie on loan to a club currently in the top 10 of our division?

The conditions would be:
we keep him at Norwich until he is fit
for every game he plays we get a fee (?10k?)
for every goal he scored we get a fee (?10k?)
if he plays any games & the club get promoted we get another fee (?200k?)

Morally dubious but, as far as I can see, perfectly legal and a potential money-maker.

If anyone know Neil's email I can send this onto him...
