Hardly a surprise if he does. Hes a class above league one and thr only player of true quality or value.

Well, as much as I hate to say it, we should snap their hands off.

Will any of the money go forwards bringing players in mind?

Need him for the future - but £2M seems a lot - TF will definitely grab that if he can get it.

No, Dribs and Drabs are the twins we are bringing in on loan from a Faroe Islands third division reserve team.

Heard it from a current academy players family member seems pretty sure on it . I would agree that it's a decent price , but it's only gonna plug losses / go in sisus back pocket so all irrelevant really

They would definitely be the first to know

It doesn't take much working out that someone will be sold given the chairman said it on the radio a few days ago. If you then look at who we've got who would get a fee there's not a huge number of options.

Now I know this might make your head hurt a little but hear me our.

Our model is to run at breakeven now whatever the impact.

So getting £1.5m for Stevenson in Jan and the budget not changing, versus not selling anyone in Jan and the budget being slashed by £1.5m over a hear or two...is that money going into, what did you say, seppalas pocket??

Yup. Any money in will be to cover any shortfall and the gates have been dropping substantially.

Yes. But what some idiots don't see is actually, the money is going directly into paying the players on the bloody pitch as we have feck all else coming in

Supposedly fee is rising to a million and Brighton are one of the club's interested. 2 or 3 other championship clubs sniffing round.

No surprise there then. What I dont get is CCFC are in an entertainment business at the end of the day and if the quality on the pitch is pure shyte why can you expects fans to continue year after year to shell out?
Yes we need to sell I get that but for the last 10 years we sell players and get freebies or loan players who play well and move on. Fook sake lets hope for once we let Slade buy hungry fookers willing to graft and not just bring another poor inexperienced lad from the academy. Its not fair on them to be expected to compete with seasoned big bastids and fans to watch a constant decline.

Get blamed on the fans again - not turning up or those that do getting the club fined for being on the pitch.

If only we had the philosophy to sell one to fund two and some into the bank.

Mr FIsher told us we were £1 Million to the good(he do not tell lies does he?) if so with said money , the money saved on loannes going back plus money not spent in the summer that should be more than enough in this division to do some dealing without selling your best asset at a time when he is only raw potential not liable to raise more than £1 mill where as even at the end of the season value would probably have doubled after all surely that is worth the wait., 2nd from bottom we need all the talent on the field we can muster . Grow some balls and keep him

Think that was £1m before tax and interest so doesn't mean at the end of the financial year there will be £1m left over. And even if there is a profit after tax and interest you need the cashflow to be such that it can be spent in January.

Anyone expecting Slade to be handed £1m to spend is going to be disappointed.
