Surely the prospective buyers would say "you've just shipped off a £2m asset, we're taking £2m off the purchase price" We're stuck with these cunts in perpetuity.

Yep, edited. Cheers.

I honestly wouldn't have got a ST if this news was earlier in the summer.

Rumours that they are avoiding administration until after the season starts because the RFU can't relegate them after the season starts.

Me neither, they have no patience. A smart manager would be looking at turning them into a poem team in about 4/5 years with proper development but they will probably be demanding sackings if they don't get playoffs this season.

No, no no... I'm not

Sunderland were interested in him before though. Would they try again?

Absolutely slaughtering my enthusiasm for the season. Just the best we can hope for is struggle and not get relegated. Don't fancy that or another trip around the lower leagues for a decade. Fucking soul destroying club.

Agreed, we're panicking. The result of it shouldn't be strip our squad it should be ownership support. Our owners are dogs hit though so....

Last minute Andre Wright or Dan Agyei anyone?

It pisses me off that all the offers are for new customers. Hadn't noticed my bill went up with Vodafone after my contract expired and they rinsed my for 12 months before I rang up and quit. they offered to match my other offer but I was pissed off with them by then, just give people a decent...

I'm looking to switch atm. Who was this please?

If it is for a sale then I'd be fine, I mentioned it further up in the thread. I just don't see it any time soon unfortunately.

This is decent analysis so cheers for that. If we need to make up your (probably fair) estimate of £5m in player sales I just don't get the point of selling Hyam for "far less" [than] £2.5m. Much more practical to sell a crown jewel for £10m and cover ourselves as well as having £5m to play...

Obviously not, I'm being hyperbolic. Still doesn't make any sense to me to make your squad weaker, lose a valuable part of it and use that just to fund operating costs. We need big sales and promising players coming in. What we've got is mediocre sales of a solid player for no return.

Surprised that wasn't on the season ticket marketing.

Also, the total of all of those sales is dwarfed by the extra money we get from championship broadcast rights alone before we consider record ticket sales, increased sponsorship revenue and record merchandise sales.

But as with my earlier post, we weren't just funding the club we were funding the squad. The latter appears to have been dropped and we're making the squad worse.

If they sell an ever present first team player and not replace them then yes.

Well Stoke has fallen through for them, you think Sunderland will be an option?
