They sell them and use the money to rebuild. They don't just fall over at the first offer then pocket the little they recieve.
There is little point in comparing our time in League 1 to that of Southampton and Norwich; they had a lot of money. While we are a tenant to a franchise rugby club in a stadium, this is going to happen.
If we get to the championship next season who says he won't be back on loan next year. Norwich will want to progress him and that's the place to do it. Unproven at a higher level and only 20 games played in the league means whether we like it or not it's good business. Judge it at the end of the season if we gain promotion we will be in a better position to hold onto players but at the moment we are still a selling club.
Also Southampton sold their youngsters and also sold there best players have got into the premier league top 4.
In league one they also had a billionaire owner and a near £30 million wage bill in the championship - still they sold their youngsters.
I think it shows Madders wanted away at any cost. I could understand any player wanting to join Liverpool or Spurs. Clearly they didn't come in for him. But to opt for Norwich...I'm sure an OK club but with ambition to just stay in PL ...I just don't get it. Does Madders in his heart feel he is not good enough for the very top?

I remember the same anger being shown when a young Bigi left for Newcastle. Whatever happened to him?
I dont.

Club and player show lack of ambition. Did we want to keep him? Did he want to stay? For £5m to a top 6 side it would be good for us and Madders. Anything less and to a yoyo club shows we would sell anyone and Madders thought we were going nowhere

See how short people's memories are
I seem to remember Robins aiming his displeasure at the council, not the board.
I remember everyone saying £3m for Wilson was a good deal or the two packets of crisps we got for Turner.
Swings and roundabouts.
Remind me how much saints got for there players? And how much we've got? Wilson before injury being touted for 20 mill. Maddison will be a 10 million player when he leaves Norwich
Well done seppala another cock up! Take the early money and run
No ambition whatsoever!!
Say we get into the championship sist? What's your plan? You should of waited until the end of the season before deciding Maddison's future, if we'd gone up he might have stayed
You've shown your true colours again sisu and you have now shown us the direction you want to take the club-down

ON the contrary. The club have shown total ambition to get promoted this season. Using the money straight away where we need it to bolster the squad to go up.
Remind me who bought those players. Players at least 5 times better than Maddison.
They haven't used it though have they? There was still budget available for the 2 defenders. We need to go and sign some quality free agents now to make this the right move. There were plenty of players released from the above 2 divisions yesterday.

If he plays and does well for Norwich he can have his pick of teams... as opposed to playing in someone's reserves, then signing for Hull on loan.
Really? 2 weeks ago Tm was in the telegraph saying he'd been promised extra funds for loans for a promotion push. Now you are saying we had to sell the lad to strengthen, to go up?
won us the pen vs burton, its that game changing magic we will miss like vs chesterfield and port vale
Maddison sold, which everyone expected. He is still with us until May for our promotion challenge. Two defenders have come in on loan to bolster the defence, which everyone said was need. Fleck is still here when people said he would be gone. Sounds like we can still challenge to me?
Having seen the other deals made in this window, who have we missed out on?
Burton and Gillingham have lost players.
Promotion is still on.

not sure this is about ambition........ more about the realities of short term finance. In my opinion we are running on a shoestring and there is no more funding coming from the owners to do it. In that case cash out cannot equate to more than cash in. Only player in squad likely to draw in significant funds
