Or til a bid comes in that we say is acceptable. There have been posters on here saying 'Sell Sell Sell' What, to the first bid? It sounds like the Windass bid has been doubled. Possibly more bids to come. Don't get me wrong, I know the club is a farce, we have very few players we could actually sell due to the ridiculous way we are run, but some of the 'pile on' stuff on this forum is beyond a joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This club is beyond insane. In fairness, we could probably get more for Windass... assuming we're not at risk of losing him due to a wages issue.

Shadowl Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Not read the entire threat but wasn't it 400k yesterday £1millon today. I'd wait a week to hear it was £1billion dollars and a laser on the moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe even Millwall could comfortably match his reduced wage but if say Forrest were in for him then he would likely get offered closer to his championship salary than Millwall could manage. I'm still unsure, we've seen the short termism with how we've been run. I don't think "Relegation clauses" would feature in anyone's contract. Millwalls wage bill is half the size of ours, that doesn't include any bonuses either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, no way you'd not pay players but staff. Club do seem to be doing a decent job driving price up, in circumstances. £3 million . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving Josh price up. I don't know about support staff, but logically they won't get paid in a cash crisis. Sadly, have far less power than players.

modboy Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 £1m seems about right for him. Didn't exactly set the world on fire and we double our money. Yep in an ideal world we'd keep him but if we add a sell on fee also surely this is best for all concerned (fans excepted)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 what gets me is a club like millwall wont have had any money like us except from sky money etc like us yet they can afford million pound players while we are down to 11 players and cant afford to pay the players or get anyone in.

They didn't go on a reckless spending spree, pay ridiculous wages, refuse to recoup fees on the vast majority of players, y'know - basically run their club into the ground for several years, though. That'll be why they can spend £1m while we can't pay our players' wages. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy bunny Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Given the dire circumstance the club is enduring (if true), turning down a bid of that magnitude is strange Fair play to the club for valuing the player and sticking by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Good. After last season's showing he is worth more than that. If DC is owing 10M or more to wages then what good is 1M going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
