Probably 1 in 10 and income from the other 9. Add in a buy back clause just in case and it becomes self funding and helps ffp.

Cole wasn't good enough - end of.
As the guys above have said....it's a very important revenue stream for the club. It's definitely paying dividends and helping with FFP along the way.
Rico Lewis is another regular bytheway.

I still think Cole was not given a fair crack given his injuries yet Rico scares me to death. The saving grace for Rico as far as I'm concerned is his age an he has plenty of time on his side to improve.

Maybe because of his injuries?

Re: The Man City Academy - What' the point?
The only issue I have is that some players don’t even get a crack at proving themselves. Palmer obviously did and although he scored a few, ultimately he wasn’t good enough and Doku was brought in instead, which so far looks a good move. Lewis, McAtee,, Bobb and a few others have been given a small chance. Others just seemed to have gone out on loan or simply sold without even getting a sniff of first team football, not even in the League Cup. Carlos Forbs (formerly known as Borges) for example looked very good for the under 18s then the under 23 squad but was sold to Ajax a few weeks back. Palmer was a decent bit of money but one of these days I fear we are going to do a Chelsea and get rid of a Mo Salah or KdB to one of our rivals.

Apart from Palmer most of our sales have been to clubs not really challenging for anything. I think that we have buy back clauses for them all including Trafford so that covers the last bit TMG.
