Same. Not really arsed if it takes us 5 years as long as we get some decent value.

Would even be happy if we saved a million quid by holding out for another 2 years on top of that.

Let’s just give everyone what they want then. 😂

Fair point though they brought in strikers last year but let’s ignore that. Strikers were shit but at least we gave the clubs what they wanted

Why aye. Not sure how he'd feel about playing in League 2, mind...

I get why you would say that but not in my opinion.

The club doesn't have to get promoted, it has to be able to financially stable in order to get better.

Although at our level of finance, I see it as the best manner to run in which to give us the best probability of going up and staying there.


I think both Clarke and Ballard were around 2 and excellent value.

When you say 5m quid, that's 5m fee, 500k expenses, 1m wage per season, so effectively adding 6.5m loss onto the 9/10m were already losing per season.

I'm sure we could do it, but it would require the owner funding it and the club have almost no wiggle room for existing contracts and future transfers etc..

If there is a 5m striker out there that they're almost certain would be worth 10m straight away, great.

If this mega rich lot can't afford 5m for a player then we've gone as far as we can with them.

There's probably not a club in this league thats not losing moneyat's part and parcel of football ownership these days. If they dipped in their deep pockets for some lose change for a decent striker, its possible they'd see upwards of a 100m in prize money and more in sponsorship deals come into the club.

How long have we been haggling for?
At what point do we either stump up or move on to other targets?

Depends how far we are away on valuation, no one has a clue but doesn’t stop the club getting criticised if we are miles away move on but us not moving on suggests it’s not as far off as some think

I could afford to bet x 1000's of pounds with the bookies to make substantially more, which would be nice, but I don't, because gambling isn't in my nature, I'm happy with my lot. I want us to spend money on players, I want us to buy better players and I want us to improve ... but if they won't gamble then I can't really get irate.

Short could afford to spend loads on players, doesn’t mean it was a good idea in a lot of cases. 5m for a 30 y/o with no resale value is ott.
