    this is why I think if he would sign a new deal we’d be rejecting all bids and getting him on a 5 year deal. Hopefully this still happens.

    I don’t believe for one second the regime are licking their lips at gaining £10m (or whatever the bid is). They’ll be disappointed he’s going. I think everyone associated with the club would rather he stayed and signed a long term deal.

    Yeah I get what you mean now mate, probably agree. Thankfully I'm of the opinion he would be willing to resign should we give him a fair offer on the table

    For context our last filed accounts had a turnover of £35 million, resulting in an operating loss of £9.7 million. That was to July 23.

    £10 million is a very significant amount in this respect.

    But the owner is penny pinching.

    of course it is but across the squad weve got close to if not more than 100m in unrealised profit

    yes we're at a loss but after this cycle of players id imagine we'd be annually profitable based on the buy sell model we have

    Certain fans who do YouTube…

    all the time.. when we don’t sign players they want.

    not spend the money they want

    think the club is skint etc

    If you ask me, it’s a Mad Mistake

    10m for Watson and a sizeable sell on clause then I’m for it.

    Wise.

    I can bet £10 that come Tuesday, if we don’t spend 4785788m or get the players we want this will be said.

    I can see us rejecting the Brighton bid and announcing a new contract for Watson just after the window closes.

    No info, just a feeling.

    Thinking about it logically, him and his family will probably talk to Jobes family and see how they managed Judes moves and you would be a fool to not listen to their experience. Then you look at Clarke now struggling at Ipswich and he probably has advice for Watson.

    As long as we’re in the championship that unrealised profit is limited though. We aren’t going to get the best value for our players until we go up and if we don’t sell to reinvest the chances of us going up are less.
