beloved_aunt Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The Star now reporting we could get as much as £5m compo for Bruce: https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/latest-owls-news/sheffield-wednesday-newcastle-united-set-to-offer-steve-bruce-transfer-war-chest-to-secure-st-james-park-switch-470278 If this anywhere near accurate we've got to take it haven't we? We've all been saying for a while that we'll need to sell players to get out of financial doo-doo, but if we get hard cash for a manager who's only been here six months and then appoint someone like Hughton who I see as being on a similar level to Bruce, that's a deal you've got to take isn't it?

Maddogbob Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Sad to say, take the money and run. We need it. If he stays, then that will also be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nixon tweeted it was a lot more than £1M. Every cloud and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham67 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Probably, but it's by no means a given that we'll get Hughton. I've never been more fuckedoff by a situation at Hillsborough since Atkinson left for Villa. So, so, depressing.

savi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If theres any truth in that then surely Dejphon will get a D Taxi to drive him back home today. What's Benitez up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're back to square one with the season coming like a jail on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 £5m is decent, bad as it is to lose a manager so close to the start of the season, DC will have done well with that number. Nowhere near as good a situation as keeping the manager we waited for and invested in, but not our fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first priority should be to get Hughton in over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 DC - look here Stevie me old mucker, you can go and talk to the Toon but if tha gets job then tha knows our position. Agent SB - Don't worry DC. Lazaar, Aaron's and anybody else that will help get you promoted will be loaned to you and I'll get that MA to pay half their wages. I'll buy Big Hec and loan him to you as well. DC - Get the sen off lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 2 1/2 times more than we've sold a player for in last 10 years. Owd Chansiri could be onto sommat here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
