That’s shameful really, very poor reflection on the club.  Don’t necessarily fault Monk on this one, if the talent isn’t there then can’t afford to play youngsters on principle when every point could be crucial in the event of a points deduction.

Iorfa has had a great start, long may it continue but it might not !  Bannan, Nuhiu, Borner and probably Harris are good value. Even Fox is probably good value.  In truth we think most of our players are better than they are. Most have had their chance and are just not consistent enough.  I'd definitely keep those 6 but the rest I'm ambivalent about especially on the wages we pay. 

[Shetland Owl]

(If ) possible off load, Rhodes, Winnall, Joey, FF & Reach.

Reach who is in the top 10 assisters in the league this season? Need him if we are going anywhere

Agree mate, but he is one of the main targets of the 'cut & paste' cliche brigade.

 

You know how it goes. "A new left back would be first on the list".  "Nuhui should never ever play for SWFC" and the generic stock quote re Reach. "Can't tackle", "He's a nesher" "Can't cross a ball", "We should sell him for whatever we can get", etc etc. 

 

The old quote "never let facts get in the way of a good  story" is never more true than with Reach. Unfortunately, 'facts' are not a commonly used currency on here when the mob have it in for someone.

Don't know what the f**k happened there????

[Mr Farrell]

When you players twice what any other club would pay them, you will always struggle to sell them.

 

We are widely regarded as a club that over pays in wages, hence clubs are reluctant to take on those salaries from us.

Could we take advantage and hold our own Black Friday deals?

We tried that option before under Jos, they weren't up for it then and they arent up for it now.

 

Our U23s have regressed alarmingly in the past 2 years.

 

Only academy players I'd look to play are Dawson, who hasn't been that for 3 years now, and Thorniley, but he isn't ours anyway.

[ChapSmurf]

Why do we need a fire sale? Genuine question. I know the OP is referring to FFP, but the EFL can't fine us £60M (or whatever the stadium was sold for).

 

I've not read any of the EFL Statement fred, because I am bored of it all. So I don't know what penalties there are (I know it could be a points deduction and most likely a fine) but the EFL can't make us remove the money from the stadium sale from our accounts. So as far as I am aware, we've no money problems to warrant a fire sale.

 

What am I missing?

[RichSheffWeds]

The key is selling players on your terms at a time to suit you. 
 

We don’t have that luxury currently. 
 

Fans won’t like it but we may have to sell a Bannan or Iorfa if we are going to get real about FFP.

[sMacLean]

Would sell as many as possible. Bannan and Reach definitely. Would give Fletcher another year of contract but could see a West Brom, Fulham or Leeds wanting him in January to get them over the promotion line.

 

Get some loans in and a few freebies until summer and battle to stay up. Hopefully take our punishment and start again next season.

[Blue and white]

Everyone has there price, if decent bids come in for any of our players we seriously need to listen to it and start getting our house in order.

Sadly other teams won't be paying top dollar as they will be more than aware of our financial situation, the only thing that will change that is if teams are involved in a bidding war and there are very few player who may prompt that sort of interest, Iorfa, Reach, Bannan and Lee's spring to mind.

This ! I’d add Dawson to that list 

[gurujuan]

If we sell our better players, and receive a points deduction, we’ll get relegated for sure Already facing dwindling gates, relegation, and the reduced tv money, will see us struggle in the league below
