Its all down to how the money is used. Get Keogh to sign, bring in 3 more players, job done

The future of the club ?

Any decent young player goes on to big and better things, hell, even Man Utd had to sell Ronaldo.

Whilst its a shame, it was going to happen. Dann, westwood, Fox etc etc.

The best a LEAGUE ONE club can hope for is some of that money o be reinvested into the team and the rest towards the MASSIVE debt we have.

Yea but I think the point is we have sold him several years too early and in doing so slashed our potential profit on him.

No one knows the fee. The press are guessing and people believe them and jump up and down. The first thing I would do would be to offer more to Keogh.

Ccfcway,wow,you've changed your tune,not so long ago you were slagging sisu off none stop. The fact is,we could be down to our last senior player and fans would still be saying if they reinvest the money we'll be ok. You lot deserve sisu.

"All of the money will be reinvested across the entire football side of the business - from youth development to the first team.

Heard this so many times, with different owners. The chances of SISU doing that, with their track record and financial situation, is close to zero.

Best of luck Bigi!

How about we don't sell any players and go bust? How does that sound? Prefer that?

Anybody who thinks some of tbe money will go to keeping keogh need their heads testing. He'll be off,what more evidence do you need? Flogging the future of the club for a quick buck and you lot back them for this? Idiots.

I was just thinking a few days maybe youth is the way to go, in a few years time we would have a good championship team with Clarke, Hussey, Cameron, Willis, Thomas, Gael all coming though and developing in the coming years.

Scrap that thought then

Any player worth over 500k will be sold and will be replaced with free transfers by the looks of it.

Feel quite sad about this, its one thing I will never get used to in modern football, losing talented youth before you've even had time to see them develop and make a difference for our team. Good luck bigi, you're one of the few good ones.

Is it not the same they are doing, selling our decent young players,so there is no future either way.
We do not have any future under SISU, non at all, so if they stay we're fucked

Yep is he had been allowed to progress here, developed into a key players of the squad and one of the best players in the team then I don't think anyone would say he didn't deserve his move and we could have got 2-3 x the transfer fee probably.

Instead he has been flogged before he has even made himself a regular in the first team

Some of our fans make me feel physically sick....people are saying he's terrible and we were lucky to get 1m for him and its no major loss..i bet Newcastle are fucking laughing to themselves... wonder who's gonna feel they've got a good deal when he's worth 5x that amount in a few years time..

Fleck will never have as much potential as Gael? The same guy that was hailed the Scottish Wayne Rooney and tore it up for Rangers youth teams?

That just a ridiculous comment without seeing someone play at least a few times (let alone on a regular basis). Bigi could well become a very good player, so could Fleck. Lets wait and see

Why don't we wait and see if they do reinvest before getting all emotional!

Look everyone - we've got to be talking in absolutes now - TODAY Bigi's worth a million - only because someone thinks he is - maybe he'll be worth a lot more in the future - maybe he won't - doesn't matter to us it's done - If you or I were desperate for money and someone offered you £10k now or a 50/50 on £50k or nothing in five years - you'd take it now everytime - Bigi you've done us proud young man and I for one will be cheering for you in your new club(s)
