Whilst I have not seen any quotes regards this potential sale, I am confident that Aribo is waiting to see if we get taken over before making a decision.
Three weeks since Wembley now , and 30% of our way through pre season. Bowyer still not signed up to a contract - despite the spin being fed to Rich Cawley - and not a single new player signed. This summer is going to be a repeat of the previous 4 summers under Duchatelet- a last min influx of loans & freebies. Whilst it’s comforting that we still have good judges (for now) in Bowyer & Steve Gallen, we won’t get away with this last min panic now we are playing in a much better league. We really need to start signing players this week.
I don't know how true it is but Bauer is being offered £5000 a week to stay. The new freebies that they are trying to bring in are being offered £2500 a week. Not a big wage in the Championship.
I read a while back that Blackburn have offered Bauer £12,000 a week. We are not going to attract players in the Championship on the sort of money you mention.
In the Championship the average salary is between £7,500 and £8,500 a week. The top players in the Championship can earn around £80,000 a week. The average salary in League One is between £1,700 and £2,500, and in League Two it's between £1,300 and £1,500. https://www.onaverage.co.uk/money-averages/average-premier-league-salary
Pre-Season training starts in a fortnight. At this rate they won't even be able to stage 5-a-side games.
The concern this year is that we are fishing in deeper waters, and Bowyer has already said we are highly unlikely to sign a player for a fee.
Back to transfers or lack of... The jungle drums are now beating very loudly that Joe Aribo will sign for Rangers this week. Please don’t let anyone say “isn’t it good we have Forster-Caskey fit again to replace him” #jeddez
Isn't it good that we will have a fit again Jake Forster-Caskey to replace him or even Darren Pratley?
