When we are relegated, what is our 'financial state' looking like for next season in comparison to last time we went down in 2010?
Good question. This is important and I haven't got a clue. Allam won't want us to know if it is a problem though. He loves us to think that we need him.
On the plus side parachute payments much bigger than 2010 and contracts have relegation clauses also we have more salable assets than last time, however, how allam approaches is relegation is the crux, he could sell sell sell and take cash out but also, heust know his only chance ofgetting his cash back is getting us prem again then selling
It was mentioned briefly on Humberside after the match, Burnsy seem to think the club pretty healthy financially .
I heard that as well. And with the parachute money and maybe sales of Robertson and Livermore to the likes of Villa I'm sure we will be okay. Beyond those two I don't know who'd want to but any of our current squad which means we should be one of the stronger teams in the championship.
n'doye will probably go for 1-2 million, probably back to europe hernandez maybe back to italy no one will want to buy huddlestone.. perhaps a newly promoted team for a 1-2 mill chester, 50/50 brady? dont think so, quinn nah, elmo, cant see it dawson davies mcshane and bruce, nah, mcgregor, nah, aluko nah
Other teams will be v interested in; Davies, Chester, Dawson, robertson, Elmo, livermore, Quinn, hudd, ndoye and jela for sure, Selling 2-3 of them would hopefully put us financially OK, but that is on the premis that allam doesn't pull the plug and act le dickhead
If we get relegated expect the following to leave: Huddlestone Livermore Jelavic Hernandez N'Doye Ramirez (Loan terminated) Robertson Chester The following will leave regardless: Ince Davies Figgie Sagbo But I'm sure we'll bounce straight back up anyway.
I'd rather think about who'd stay and be useful to us in the Championship: McShane Maguire Bruce - but he needs to play like he has done this season. He raised his game to the PL; needs to keep it up in the Championship. Brady Rosenior Quinn Meyler Ince I'd be disappointed if any of them go. Be delighted if we can keep Chester but he deserves a PL team at this stage in his career.
Ricardo did a post a while back about this. He might do another for us. I think his post was basically it won't be as bad as last time and not everyone will have to leave.
The likes of Meyler and Quinn have shown how good they are in the last couple of games. Much more effective than the technically superior Huddlestone and Livermore. Thing is though if Livermore goes to Villa under Sherwood I bet they''ll get the best out of him. Look at Cleverley's turn-around under Sherwood.
