Ibrox fans lap up latest twist in Malik Tillman fantasy fees

The fantasy deal for Malik Tillman took another twist yesterday as the Daily Record tried to explain a £6m sale of the midfielder to Stuttgart.

Curiously Brighton and Brentford appear to have dropped all interest in the former Ibrox starlet despite battling it out for the £10m signing a couple of weeks ago.

Rather than face up to the reality that Tillman had no interest in returning to Ibrox after a season of misery on loan Rangers Review came up with an incredible tale that highlights the genius of Ross Wilson.

The on-message Newsquest site claimed that Bayern Munich paid £1m to break their deal with the Ibrox Tribute Act who will also pick up 10% of any future fee for Tillman.

Getting either of those clauses in a deal with Bayern Munich would be an exceptional piece of business, having both is just getting ridiculous.

That thought never crossed the mind of any publisher with almost every mainstream site in Scotland publishing details of the double windfall without any questioning.

Now it seems that Bayern have given up on Tillman, selling to Stuttgart provides a handy profit with Micky Beale missing out on the windfall that had been earmarked to sign Jose Cifuentes in from Los Angeles FC.
