MaddistonKnight 1,577 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 We have always been crap at selling players at a peak. And that's supposed to be our game plan. Obviously isn't working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club that suffers now, need to make a statement with him n sell in January if we can recoup money. Imagine he signs a pre contract in January, you think he's pish now, wait until the crucial month of the season. We need to sell players when their value is highest. Ross Wilson needs to earn his coin now. Are you saying Gerrard should be paying him out of his own picket or should be demanding he gets that wage? Both equally as ridiculous.

He’s rarely injured or suspended, he’s the constant that the team needed/needs. His form has dipped yes & he’s not signed an extension (yet) which afaik is quite common with pro footballers.

Are we in a position financially to let the likes of the underperformed goldson run down his contract whilst trying to hold us to ransom? Financially obviously not. Should have been sold, more so when players are at their highest value. Morelos another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,844 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 In fact Castore is a good point, where is that money and how much have we made? Have we not sold circa 500,000 units of merchandise since they came in? The accounts basically mean it’s CL and a player sale to put us soundly into profit or it means 6-7 player sales and we start from scratch again. The magnitude of the league this season can’t be understated, and Gerrard has to know this that if he wants a fair crack at the CL and money for players then win the league The Dude 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 19,712 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 And people want us to spend in January. Very concerning. Talking about selling assets is fine, but teams will lowball the fuck out us with our poor financial position not to mention, a lot of players values have dramatically decreased. Not a positive outlook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took some calculated risk by not selling below current market value (Morelos) and giving us a team capable of winning the league. They managed the club into a position where champions League qualification would have plugged a big part of the hole this year but we fucked it. The current board have went above and beyond imo.

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 This is interesting: CASH The Group has worked to maintain its cash despite disruption to its activities by:- • changing of our merchant providers, to improve the terms on our season ticket cash flows, supplying cash up front instead of across the season. • utilisation of government schemes and assistance, including payment deferrals for VAT and employment taxes and the job retention scheme for non-playing staff. • the deferral of wage payments for high earning staff. Who isn't getting their payments and if its players, is this impacting on performance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
