malek Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It seems we are doing to Jones, Abdi, Boyd... What we did to Hirst. Only difference is that now it is because we want to pressure these players to leave in January, while in Hirst's situation it was because we wanted to pressure him in signing new deal. Really not sure who sane will want to sign for us if/when word get out ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you believe it's only our players who have clauses to do with appearances and contract extensions ?

Players will take the best opportunity available to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think the club are going to show their hand financially when its likely we will sell players in January or the summer? That would be financial suicide.

I can't be certain on the matter but I have a feeling that most of the footballing world has a pretty good idea of our financial position at the present time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mus Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Lord Nilsson said: Is the club purposefully managing high earners out to try to free up wages in January to change things round? Forcing those who can’t play 40 games a season longer term to move on? It sounds like a feasible reason considering we are being told nothing. Some of the rumours flying about are far fetched. Still wish they would fess up and be honest with us, we will always be there through thick and thin so whats it matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we aren't going to shout about it are we? Unless we are crazy. Especially when in January when we could play more hard ball on transfer fees than in the summer.

jonesy87shef Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Whatever the situation, it doesn’t look good for our future recruitment. If, obviously a big if. In couple of years time a player has a choice between a couple of clubs and one appears to freeze our players and you’ll miss out on bonuses. Where would you go?

I believe it's only us that now have a shiit team, have banished experienced players, have been transfer embargo'd once and are certain to be again, and after robbing the fans blind have fed them a load of lies.

The owner is totally accountable for our long term plan and financial security. This blaming the fans apologising is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I missed a press conference that said "If we don't do it 2 years the club is up sh 8t creek" We were not acquainted with the whole story were we....
