firm negotiators vs quick sales

[lgfualol]

Quick sales, I'm already bored and want to see some transfer action.

Give Mr.Manager the best outlook by shifting everyone we plan to move on early, regardless of idealistic price point, surely we realise we absolutely suck at holding-out-for-the-right-price game by now

Lets have a proper preseason for once where we know exactly what we're working with.

Are we even going to get a proper pre-season because of this Far East tournament we’ll be playing in?

I hope we just send the under 21s. Would be great for them

Very possible we get £100m plus from this window and slash the wage bill, which would be almost unprecedented for a newly relegated club.

 

Even if we only spent half of that on players this window, we do a lot to restore financial stability and blow almost all of our Championship rivals out of the window in the market.

 

The problem is timing. While we don't want to take the first offer for players and get shafted, we equally don't want transfer ping-pong with offers and counter-offers going back and forth while our targets find other clubs and we end up shifting players on deadline day with no time for adequate replacements.

Could well be our first 11 next season!

Not an easy question to answer from a business point of view. We need to do business early but buying clubs know that as well as our need for cash.

 

If we go splash the cash in hope it gives buying clubs the upper hand.

 

Hang it out we will have to accept a lower fee. As much as we all want early movement (I prefer it before I go to work) I don't see it.

 

Our manager appointment has to be key to whatever we do.

 

Any manager overseeing our rebuilt will want a say in it.

 

Would you want a fvcked up squad and a load of new guys to work with.

 

A new manager is where we should be looking first, with an eye on a few players. Other than the out of contract guys we have no say on who goes unless they want to.

 

So using sales to fund the build is not going to be easy.

Its not one rule for all.

Just manage the bloody business
