His MV at the time was greater than now, granted, but we chose to take it all up front due to cashflow as opposed to the usual installments arrangement and that would have come at a cost to the club. And would have allayed some of the concerns still held about how we meet our 20m of outstanding fee commitments. And anyone wondering why Hughes and Pandur wasn't sold this window it's because we pretty much need to sell them for more next summer to meet those commitments.
Acun was spotted buying Euro millions tickets in the newsagents and loudly wailing that a jackpot win was his only chance of breaking even. He then tried to buy some scratchcards with Turkish lira shaped like a pound coin. As an aside, it now explains why the club shop refused to refund the customs toll fee I had to pay twice - once to them before sending and then to the actual customs on delivery. I am also now a small creditor of Acun's big gamble.
Not true. The facts (that word again) were that we were in 6th position when he strengthened further in the January window. That's a play off position. Rosenior then had us finishing 7th!!
wouldn't shock me at all ,but he will still spin the story is all Is fine at the club no financial issues
I didn't think to write to the Football League. All this mess and the club going out of business over a replica Tim Walter green training top.
Sorry, but that really is laughable, and nothing more than your speculation. If we're in such dire straits then we'd need cash now and over the coming months. Then come next summer we'd anyway have a long enough list of other players we could cash in on if we really needed to. Belloumi, Matazo, Williams, Gyabi, McCarthy have big upsides. At least a couple of those are going to go for good money in the future. Even established players like Drameh, Millar, McBurnie have decent market value, Giles & Palmer arguably too. (Yes, I know, Belloumi, Matazo and Millar have to prove their recovery but I'd bet 2 of the 3, if not all 3, will do so). Your 'logic' just doesn't stack up.
I pondered this myself, but then overlooked the most obvious thing. Our owner is a dotard. They said he would be worth £20m next Summer. So that's what I think they're gonna go for as a price, regardless as to whether we need the money.
Surely it's always better to sell them for more down the line as well as getting an extra year of value out of them. If we had to urgently sell them for cash now that would be the most alarming thing. I'm sure that the finances are a mess but I don't see how not selling those players can be spun as a negative.
