JaddyOwl Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Year after year we have been told we are not a selling club so whats changed? okay you can say we are in debt! No more than other teams though and so what so we sell our best assets instead of getting rid of the deadwood including Fletcher, Rhodes, Matias, Palmer, Jones, Abdi (all havent done a deal). instead by keeping the above names we continue to run up debt on injured, poor performing players on massive wages. We sell fessi bannan etc but all that money pays for the others wages. Down we go to league 1 then still nothing from the above because they are injured stealing wages. Fessi not going anywhere cos he loves us and Bannan hates Birmingham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan and Forestieri on the other hand, two of the divisions best players. I feel we would be more likely to sell Westwood and Hooper, both of whom are quality players but are probably easier to replace than FF and Bannan.

Reckon this is what our season comes down to... if we can get rid of even just three of the above it could end up saving us at least £2.5 million a year, if not more depending on what three go and just how high their wages really are. That wouldn't leave the side any weaker realistically, and the not insignificant sum of money saved would probably be enough to ensure FFP compliance. And if we're under FFP anyway? Even better... £400k Pelupessy wasn't a bad get... what could Jos do with £2m to play with? Yep, it's going to come down to luck and salesmanship. Katrien's going to be really earning her money if she can pull this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if there's anything in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgmetcalf Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think the club could do with a rebranding to be honest. You know how we were once called The Wednesday? well I'm thinking about changing it to The Massive ... Just to annoy 50% of Sheffield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
