Southbank Old BoyWycombe Royal And that is why thay are in charge of this club and not you. We are not a club who sell on the cheap. I am sure they have lowered their valuation compared to last season but whilst there are numerous clubs sniffing around they are hardly going to lower the price are they? We have just been relegated and have a large hole in our finances so they are going to try and get as much as tehy possibly can for Shorey, just like they did with Kitson.
It amazes me that people can't see that.
Yeah because they did such a good job last season!
It seems we'll have to agree to disagree that the extra £££'s we might get from dragging out Shorey's move is more vital to the club than being able to go out and get the replacement we want for the long term benefit of the squad.
I'd love to know exactly what the Kitson deal involves by the way. My guesstimate is that we've got £2-2.5m and the other £2-3.5m will be in performance related payments. What those are based on would really define how good a deal it turns out to be.
EP said £4m up front for Kitson, probably in staged payments as nearly every transfer is.
3 clubs out of 20 have to be relegated. We have vastly inferior resources to many others and relegation was always going to happen at some point - that is just what a club of our size has to look forward to if we are in the Premiership. Very few clubs get to the Premiership and establish themselves there.
