obviously top 6 clubs are not going to be turned down by manager or players
but is there a financial imperative for this, now that Cortese has gone?
if not why would you sanction all nine going?
how much would it have cost to buy the whole club?
I believe that the club is unofficially for sale. Regardless of that, there is no financial need to sell everyone.
We offered Rodriguez an enhanced new deal last week. It just seems to have become impossible these days to keep players against their will. Or is just us not being firm enough? After all that has gone on, you can't blame him for wanting to leave. He has seen the complete break up of an entire team.
The idea of a contract is pointless. Almost everyone we have sold had 4+ years left. Chambers at £16million is crazy. Literally just punting on potential. You can't turn down that sort of money especially when the player wants out.
Long chat with my Dad on the phone today, life long season ticket holder. He sounded emotional talking about it all, it's time like this that really open your eyes to what football is really all about. You can bury your head in the sand when the odd one or two good'uns go each year but so many is brutal.
Also there has been ZERO honest communication from the club about what is going on. Bearing in mind season ticket renewal has just finished (>£750), it's insulting to all those that have shelled out their hard earned money.
Still think we will stay up mind you.
