Neither was Leon Clarke but the players have the last say.

skybluetony176 · Apr 25, 2014

Having read that I'm more convinced than ever that he's gone in the summer.

Covstu · Apr 25, 2014

roughly translated 'we have had no offers that meet our valuation, if we do he will be gone'

sw88 · Apr 25, 2014

We've had no offers and no offers 'were' welcomed.

Is it just me or does that entire sentence contradict itself? It's all past tense. Had to be one or the other, surely?

lewys33 · Apr 25, 2014

I love these "he's NOT for sale" headlines ........... wink wink

Sky Blue Kid · Apr 25, 2014

The only words I ever want to hear Fisher say are these four......SISU have sold up.

italiahorse · Apr 25, 2014

Resistance only forces the price up.

Mind you we can't get the ball to him on the floor so we might as well have my Mum up front..

If she wants less than £500 a week then we will sign her up!

so what's new.We have always been a selling club.If he brings in £3m if the rumours are to be believed, then that sounds like good business to me.

3 Million will support the running of the club next season quite handsomely

Bob Latchford · Apr 25, 2014

Yeah constantly selling your best assets is the way forward.

Yes....a major factor behind why a once proud, well established Premier League club now finds itself struggling in the third tier of English football....

She can't play in the wet as her zimmer frame sinks in soft grass.

skybluesam66 · Apr 25, 2014

£3m for Callum and play at Northampton

or play at ricoh, keep Callum - and still be a couple of million better off

... happens to be about the same as the increase in income by just moving back to the Ricoh (without the pie money!!!)

The race to the bottom is still on.

Well done SISU.

RoboCCFC90 · Apr 25, 2014

At the end of the day the Club is a business if someone comes along with a high value offer for one of our assets that of course it will be looked at.

That said I wouldn't even consider listening until someone offered £2,500,000.

Noticed that, assumed it was just the way it had been written. Would you expect offers to have been made when the transfer window is closed, is that even allowed?

The way we conducted ourselves in the transfer market and the amount we gladly paid on wages whilst being an 'Established Premier League Club' is one of the main reasons we're in the third tier of English football....

Ian1779 · Apr 25, 2014

I'm not sure what answer you would expect if that question was asked.

Would you prefer 'of course we're gonna sell him.... In fact he's already up on EBay!'

SkyBlueSid · Apr 25, 2014

I don't see there is any way we will keep Wilson this summer. No doubt he will want to go to a better club (which is just about anywhere) and double/triple his wages. He has had one good season, and if he were to have a less impressive season here his stock would fall. His agent will have convinced him of this, no doubt, and will be trying to place him. Note he has said all the right things about wanting to stay, etc, so that when he goes the fans won't turn on him.

Likewise it is in the club's interest to sell. They can say what they like, but Clarke showed that if someone wants to go, they get their way. There is no point in keeping a want-away player. And, let's face it, why would Wilson want to stay. There is no loyalty in football other than among fans. To players and managers it is just business.

diggerdaley · Apr 25, 2014

Do people really believe Sisu would invest any of the money in the transfer market,it will be free transfers and loans till the club gradually sinks into league 2 .:blue:

agreed, but Wilson is a fan as well as a player. I cant help think that if we were in the Ricoh we would have a better chance of holding on to him.

For SISU, yes. For the club, no, as no doubt we'll replace him with that Thomas lad from the Academy.

Did I say £3 million would be bad business? Rumours though my friend .........

I wouldn't ebay him. Ebay fees are a joke!

I think it's allowed aslong as it's done the correct way ie clubs talking rather than an agent sounding out better offers without the clubs knowledge

I bet it's cheaper than agent fees.

Slightly off topic here, but you say Ebay fees are a joke.

What other facility do you have to sell items to a worldwide market? Think back to the 90's when ebay wasn't around, how else would you you sell you're unwanted goods and what sort of market coverage do you think you would of got.

Hobo · Apr 25, 2014

We should all know these sort of statements coming out of football clubs are worthless. Coming from Fisher it's value is probably even cheaper than most.

Football fans don't want to follow a business, they want to follow a team - fine if that 'business' translates into improving/developing the squad, not fine if it's a loanee replacement/far inferior replacement. It's a bit like that old tv programme title - 'ever decreasing circles'
