Guest Hirst1867 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We need £15m to avoid an embargo according to numerous football finance experts. We need to sell 5,000 lots of £3k, or 3,000 lots of £5k. We sold less than 10 of Club 1867 v1. This will need to be spectacular. As someone said earlier, what if we are selling the ground, but to the fans? Id pay £5k to own a seat that I never have to pay to sit in again. Just need another 2,999 others now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I ask myself if Bannan and Reach are the type of players that Bruce would want, and I am increasingly thinking not. However we aren't really full of options in midfield, but yet we could recoup maybe £20m by those two being sold, which would eradicate any immediate problems. This isn't Championship Manager, or Football Manager whatever it's called in 2019 but two sales could get rid of this immediate problem. Then just one problem remains. Making sure those two sales don't mean relegation. Edited January 16, 2019 by Salmonbones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the championship must be very close. exactly, if a big club like villa is screwed then maybe there's a problem, only difference with them is it happened a bit later than us and leeds, but eventually it's all fell apart for them and sunderland etc. because the truth is the top 5/6 prem clubs are happy to keep the status quo Edited January 16, 2019 by jomaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure guesswork but I think we are selling a couple of players, and this statement is setting the scene to calm the masses. Agree. Statement feels like the one before CC left.

Stoop Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I think he’s basically saying I need you all to cough up or we’re in the sh*t My message to Dejphon Chansiri is please sell Adam Reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Apart from the 1867 bit it’s pretty much a detailed summary of what he said at the Forum. I’m hoping it’s just a pre warning that players are gunna be sold. Considering how easily he dismissed the notion that season ticket money has the ability to plug any gaps atall. I just can’t see another 1867 scheme taking off at a price point that amasses a money pot that would bring in anything close to a sizeable sum. He’ll be lucky to break half a million, and even that’d take 10,000 fans at £50 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but TBH I think most people, at least on here, aren't worried about selling players and even think changing the squad could be a good thing. I think he's over worrying about potential reaction to player sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We have to sell. The last thing we want is an embargo and if that means selling Reach / Forestieri / Bannan then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Perhaps Bruce wasn’t coming in until February because he was waiting to see if DC would solve the FFP situation which would allow him to bring players in. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Bruce doesn’t end up coming. Why would he!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The only way to raise the amount of money he wants is to sell players. He will never raise 15mill from the fans. We need to get players out and replace them with younger hungry players, find a couple of gems and sell them on. Do what other teams do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I read it as the ‘decision ‘ is just deciding to inform us we are in the sh!t. I thought he had announced in haste at the forum that our (fans) monies don’t make any difference. Looking back at club 1867 as I’d say a failure... hat can this new scheme entail? Not many can afford to invest in 3/4/5 yr season tickets all at once. Plus that’s a quick fix and in the 2nd,3rd,4th n 5th season there’s no ST monies coming in. Find it all bizarre. What has Brucie been promised. If he’s been told nowt to spend to strengthen in jan and possible full embargo in summer with 11 out of contract, surely not inviting job prospect apart from 2m wages. unless out of contract players are allowed to re sign under embargo rules n we keep most of them !!
