If he refuses to extend his contract then look at taking what you can for the future of the club. I've accepted the possibility of a long term build, a slow build. If we have players that are way above this level, cash in and make ourselves financially secure. What's our turnover? 20-25 million? I think... 8-10m from a player sale keeps us in a comfortable place. Think it might be closer to 5 mill with some add ons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Compensation wise we would be looking at how much £1-2mil? Over 100 games, established international, been with us 5-6 years. id be looking at the £5-7.5 mil to think about letting him go. If not then we may as well just keep him for the promotion push. r_wilcockson and TomG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suspect he’s already on more, probably doubly what we could offer him right now within the business plan. So it’s unlikely to happen but fingers crossed something can be done LERam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he's on 15k at the moment foe example, his extended period or new contracts has to be inline with the plan at say 8k? I get why we have rules but it seems counter productive for the business plan that by enforcing it we will be worse off financially (although it's a risk he maintains form value etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC27 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I’ve heard our business plan is really not very strict, it would be if you were trying to compete at the top of the championship but at the moment it’s not affecting the decisions we’re making. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what i was thinking. The sheer size of this club in league one terms and the difference in revenue means even with a break even budget we would still be competitive at this level. We can’t pay transfer fees but not many do at this level. Let’s say we get the job done this season, next season would be tough to have a competitive budget and the business plan would affect us more greatly although still be less restrictive than what we’ve had for the past 2 years. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
