Don’t worry by tomorrow evening, it will be spun that Harte and Clarke are the bad guys, the poor club couldn’t do anything, and that KLD/Speakman are poor innocent victims.
Watch by tomorrow, there will be a leak to the press that Clarke/Harte demanded the move.

Making sense of it all unfortunately it's the way it works, that's why we need to get back in the Premier League asap plus I've never liked Ed Sheeran but money talks

Put the price tag out and 25mil...

Then bend over the barrel, drop knickers, and spread cheeks... and let Ipswich leave the 15mill check on the table after they've gone in dry on Speakman's derriere.
 
15m is an absolute f***ing joke 😡 if these shitbags running our club don’t invest most of that pathetic fee into the team they can get fucked. No ambition whatsoever and very happy to plod on in the 2nd division. Fewmin
 
As has been said, nobody knows what's happened. If he's pushed for a move and there is no other interest/bids then the club has taken the only offer.
 
Who knows what the fee is- I’d expected about 20 plus clauses but it’s possible we had a clause that triggered Clarke’s right to negotiate and we might have a huge sell on clause. We’ll never really know.
Club must now deliver on signings though.
As far a Jack is concerned he certainly goes with my best wishes and I can understand why he’d go to Ipswich, not the same pressure of other clubs and are a decent club with a good manager. I certainly think he could have done bit better though.

Unless you are one of the owners why are you calling me a liar?

Do you know they are not selling for less than £25m?

Thought not so be quiet

If Clarke has been offered an extension to his contract and refused? The club have no other option than to sell...all we can hope for now is they have identified players to get in before the deadline.

Is this not the way it’s got to be?

Selling players for more than we bought them for, reinvest and improve.

All eyes on the reinvestment now.

We are in a decent place, lots of players attracting interest which we’ve never had before.

Perhaps not signing his contract, especially with Harte being at the AOL last week, has forced our hand to take the money.

Hull sold them a centre half, after they’d conceded 60 goals last season for £21.5m. We are getting £10m less
 
Was always on the cards but pretty pointless move really. He can't shine in that team which will likely never leave the bottom 3 all season. A career bouncing around relegation / promotion teams beckons. Might as well of gone to Burnley tbh
