Albion are heading for another clash with Carling Cup victims Bristol Rovers over the sale of Bobby Zamora to Spurs.

Rovers claim they will be entitled to more money if Zamora is sold on by the north London giants.

Albion chairman Dick Knight revealed before Tuesday's 1-0 win against the Third Division club that he had unsuccessfully tried to renegotiate their share of the £1.5 million deal which took Zamora to White Hart Lane last month.

Rovers included a 30 per cent sell-on clause when they lost Zamora to the Seagulls for £100,000 three years ago, so they collected £420,000 from his dream move to the Premiership.

Now Rovers' chairman Geoff Dunford has told The Argus the wording of the sell-on is "all encompassing", entitling them to another cut if Zamora is transferred on by Spurs.

I understand Albion are of the opinion that Rovers' share in Zamora ended with his switch to Glenn Hoddle's team.

The Seagulls included an undisclosed sell-on in the deal with Tottenham, believed to be 12.5 per cent.

That would mean if Rovers are right and Zamora was sold by Spurs for £9.5 million then they would be entitled to a further £300,000 of Albion's £1 million cut.

Albion will discover their Carling Cup second round opponents at around 5.15pm tomorrow, when the draw is televised on Sky and Premiership clubs not involved in Europe enter the competition.

Meanwhile, boss Steve Coppell will today study the video of the Bristol Rovers match with an "open mind" about whether to appeal against Nathan Jones' red card.

The Welshman was sent-off just before half-time for a tackle on former Seagull Dave Savage.

Coppell said: "He wants to appeal. The people I've spoken to, who have got nothing to do with the club, said it was a fairly robust challenge to say the least.

"A lot of them said it looked bad, although he didn't catch the fella."

Former Millwall forward Steve Claridge, now in charge of Weymouth, was scathing of Jones' tackle in his role as a local TV pundit.

Coppell said: "He is there to give an opinion and the very nature of the person means you know it is going to be a forthright opinion.

"If that is what he felt then fine. I am certainly not going to be too bothered by what he said."
