Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 What new model is this?Spunk all our money then when it gets desperate sell our best player just to keep the lights on?You may NOT like it - I 't like it -but it is a fact - we are a selling club - its how we are going to grow and is part of our 'self sustaining model' - there is no point bumping your gums at me about it - its a fact, slightly unpalatable when its someone like Lee bt its something we are going to have to get used to - losng our best players.Now Lee might not go, a deal might not be struck, Lee might want to stay - but that does not take away from the fact we ARE a selling club.

RFC55 108,730 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As I say I don't doubt Forrest are interested so I'm not saying you are lying or trying to cause anger etc my point is the story in the record is a puff piece! Do you honestly believe the "source" posed the question about why we are asking players to take wage cuts or that the notts Forrest "source" would flat out say they are no longer interested? It's what the media do.....they take a half truth and twist it to suit their own needs!Sorry, should have said I was told forest and possibly Wigan were going to bid, so as far as I know a forest bid was always coming. I don't know if the full article is bullshit. I only posted last night that forest interest was defo real. So I can't speak for the rest of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 New model same shite then? Buy players and sell for less? Great model thatIt's not my model - and no man is bigger than the club etc etc. if the club needs to sell Lee - then it may have to be done. (to use a shit management term - "We are where we are" and now Wallace (of CEO ilk) has to deal with the current situation and if selling Lee helps him then that may (MAY!!!) have to be done.BUT this is not a done deal, a valuation has not been agreed and Lee has not agreed.BUT folk will need to get used to us selling players, and our best players.

I think he's improved as a player albeit his final ball is still poor a lot of the time. I don't see why we can't get around 2 million for him, although he's only worth what someone will pay.

Big Al 55 9,241 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 A body blow if he goes. I don't think you are ever going to command top dollar when in the 3rd division of a footballing backwater, in well publicised financial difficulties.Unfortunately that is the stark reality. The quicker we realise it the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We may be a selling club but at these prices were giving him away ! So i dont care much for the new modelIt might be a case of needs must - and I think he is worth more but time will tell - it was the DR afer all.

The Godfather 71,717 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Usual on here.If the story doesnt suit then it's pish and written of pure hatred.Situation is we are going to get bids of a low value for Wallace till the window shuts.We probably will sell if a decent offer comes in sadly.

gmcf 34,090 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If Wallace goes Wallace will come down in my estimations, wouldn't say forest are a step in the right direction either.I don't think it's Wallace that's pushing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian 4,281 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Rangers hating journo with friends who have an interest in destabilising the board prints a story saying we are selling our best player cheaply.Immediately the pitchforks come out.Double whammy as it ensures anyone who does bid, offers a low price.Even if it were true, this is a direct result of the players refusing a pay cut.The board are already getting blamed for offering pay cuts and are now getting blamed for this.Are folk forgetting all the demands to cut spending ?It's clear some are still pushing an agenda.

bluenosebrad 452 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think if Wallace was to go, that a lot of ST holders out there may use this to say why the fuck should I renew my ST next season along with, if its true a 20% ST increase, what value are we getting when the side is weaken??

I haven't read the rest of the thread so don't know if others have criticised the current board. Seems pretty obvious to me who is responsible for our financial woes. Hopefully others can see that as opposed to blaming people who most definitely had nothing to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson6 121 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Stevie smith is gash mate! I wouldn't be comfortable with him taking the place of Wallace. It's a resounding NO from me.I know but atleast with the league sown up we can afford to do without lee and look at some other way of playing next year, he will be a huge miss but not as bad as some make out it would be.

gmcf 34,090 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Selling Lee who is one of our most entertaining players for around a million would be retarded. It would only pay for the bills for a month. The board needs to think more long term.Agreed. It's one of these short term fixes that were trying to avoid. He's our best player and has every chance of being club captain by the time we get to top division. Can't believe we're that desperate for 1-2 million , and even if we are , is there nowhere else to get it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,452 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If he does go I doubt it would be to Forest. The money talked about is peanuts to English clubs. I wouldn't be surprised if a bigger club came in. Saying that, I'm not convinced he'll go unless a premiership side comes calling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerry1971 248 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 wow some people really are just bottom feeders eh? Why, even after all the lies, sensationalism and rhetoric do people still react to everything they read in the rags? Have you read the "story"? It's pathetic....no quotes or substance just the standard "a source says....". It's funny how these sources always give the story the papers want eh? Just the last sentence alone tells me it's complete and utter bullshit!STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ!!!!!!!(extra exclamation marks for my fan club!)So can I quote you when Wallace DOES eventually leave then?It's not just the DR -it's in the sun as well.
