Tontospal 1,116 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Now that it is public knowledge that we are desparate for 3 million what happens if we don't raise that this month? Every club that is interested in any of our players now knows that we need to raise money so they will be looking to get a bargain. Given recent failures to move on players on good contracts it is not inconceivable that we may not sell anyone. What happens in that scenario? We try and arrange a game with Real Madrid as well as AC Milan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes that situation even more worrying is the fact that we actually spent millions after we were out, albeit after Cuellar was sold, but still what does that say about our budgeting?

bearsrus 12 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 we will raise the money, maybe not until the last few days of the window but we'll raise it, because now that it's public knowledge we are skinter than a giro monkey, all clubs will be waiting to the end of the window to use this as a bargaining tool to get the best deal, it just means we will be selling player/s for less than we would like to.

There was no business or financial logic to spending money after we were out. Infact he should have probably issued a statement that Cuellar had to be sold due to the lack of income from Europe this season. That certainly wouldn't have been popular but it was probably the right business decision to make as now looks to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the story we all thought it was is it though? We all thought we were selling because the bank WANTED £3 million off of us, when in actual fact is just Murray wanting to 'balance the books' its a bit different.

If he doesn't balance the books then there's a good chance that the banks would be putting pressure on him to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try and arrange a game with Real Madrid as well as AC Milan? That's a point. Don't we have to pay AC Milan to play this friendly? I know in years gone by, that was the case for testimonials, you piad the opposing teams expenses. Is it the same for friendlies? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
