Dimmu Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 As long as we stick with our centrebacks, I'm fine with selling some other prospect. I think Davies and Jags are really going places, they both seem to have tons of potential. I'd just love it if they could fulfill it and reach their prime with us. jimtastic56, Asanovic70, 48 hours and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's highly likely to get plymouth promoted this season, more than that he says why in League one a team needs to pay above the odds for the best players and why that's critical to success. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/football/building-promotion-winning-plymouth-argyle-5292764.amp Backing up that thought, who spends millions buying a football that's in trouble and then spends nothing on rebuilding the team. Bit less likely that he'll get Preston promoted this season though Yani P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the HMRC aren't playing ball, Kirchner grows frustrated and I would imagine will eventually tail off. Our survival hinges on the possibility of selling anyone we can get a few quid for to try and bring the tax debt down. We need to hope and pray we got a decent price each of Knight, Bird, Buchanan and Sibley. Everything you say is spot on and we are in a dire situation,Come January the players will go for a fraction of what we would normally expect to get,forget that the administrators are doing there best for the club they will cash in if and when we get clubs come knocking its how these things work.If its to save the club in the end then so be it ,were a League 1 side now in all but name already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bids come in, al well and good if it helps secure the future the club, even if the fees are less than some would expect. Get as much money in to reduce the debt, then (hopefully) start again. The level of debt is staggering and I wouldn't be surprised if it's giving potential buyers pause for thought. SBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one means a huge drop in income and then how can we upkeep our academy, Pride Park etc? How can we rebuild if our best players are sold? Get rid of the academy if we have to. Make a squad of 20 volunteers from here if we have to. Play on elvaston park if we have to. Anything to ensure the club survives. Bolton had to drop to league 2 before they were stabilised and if we have to do the same so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Rooney has said multiple times ..no player leaves unless he wants him to leave..and he has had assurances from the Administrators that no player has to be sold in January to provide funding..so I'm really struggling with the Armageddon posts in this thread..have I missed anything apart from BS clickbait nonsense stories?

Do you honestly believe that there won't be significant sales in January? I don't mean that in an aggressive or narky way, I just don't see any other outcome. The club is losing money even if there is just a short delay in the sale of the club, then the books will need to be balanced somehow. Of course Rooney is saying no players will be sold without his say so. What else is he supposed to say? ramboy63 and RamontheMoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney kept saying the takeover was imminent as well. Just because he says something doesnt mean its true.

He could say anything..but to be that specific must mean he has been told the club does not need to sell or hold a fire sale..now he may still sell players ie players going out of contract, we get a decent offer, player wants to go etc...

Crewton Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 However true it turns out to be, it's the right message to send to the vultures at this time. I'd also like to hear the Administrators pledge that any approach for any player at any price from any of Forest, Middlesbrough, Wycombe, Leeds, Preston and Bristol City will be treated with appropriate disdain. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am under no illusion that we will sell this window and for me it's just posturing on Rooney's part to say that we don't need to sell to at least try and get a decent price for whoever we get bids for. As soon as anyone says we will sell players / we are skint, that's when the derisory bids come in and we will be forced to accept. This way we at least have a chance of getting a fair price for our players - but I'm sure the other clubs know this too ?
