1994fox Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Yes but if you could get 5 million now, or let him leave on a free in a year, even someone who doesnt need the money must be able to see the logic in selling now.
accessory Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Yes, that is perhaps the more likely scenario. It amazes me that fans believe anything said in the media. Especially after Stringer and Tanner both made cast-iron statements that we'd be signing CMS.
I am Rod Hull Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 we don't need the money Do you think he`ll sign a new contract with you ? I can guarantee his agent is telling him not to. So he`ll leave on a free at the end of next season and you`ll be losing £5 million. But you dont need the cash. WAKEY WAKEY !
Hack Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 we don't need the money You may not need the money, but you need Matnard as you say to mount your challenge and keep the fans faith. But you will lose him a smart way or dumb way. Nothing really anything to do with money. Do it with some level of control or none at all. He is not signing an extension with you !!!!!
cc_star Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 We only have to look at Spurs Chairman's outright denials that Berby was going anywhere & a few days later ManU upped their bid & he joined, he's repeating it with Moderic As I said about 20 pages ago, Bristol City have gone public in declining the bids because he is for sale it's just they want even more money than has been offered so far. It's just good business on their part, whether we want to be party to that or not is another question, but no one other than us is going to pay more than £5m for him The best thing we can do is go quiet, park a big yacht somewhere off the Portugal coast & do it the old fashioned way, some good old, against the rules, tapping up. These are ridiculous sums of money for someone who's never set foot in the Premier League, although it's 100% understandable that BCity should try and get them, especially as its known just how much money we do have if it comes down to it.
Monkeh BCFC Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 True, there is a vast chasm of difference between not needing money and stupidly throwing it into a river because you have a lot of it. It's business. You are owned by a business man. Do the math. aye we are he's a stockbroker who happens to be a Bristol City fan which helps our cause no end, if we wanted to sell we would say so and set a price for you to match, we haven't because he's not for sale, our owner might end up paying his wages out of his own pocket like he does with david james
hackneyfox Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Why would he be cheaper in January? Yes I know he'll be closer to the end of his contract but nearly all January transfers cost more than pre-season ones, if we're looking good but struggling for goals then 7m to get promotion will seem like good business.
Woollett's Wellies Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 we don't need the money It's replies like this that show a distinct lack of understanding about the BUISNESS men behind football. You think you don't need the money but. Your owner is a businessman. He has an asset that is depreciating as his contract ticks down. He doesn't have full control of this situation. Maynard has his hand on the steering wheel! If, as you say, Maynard wants Premier league football, then currently he's getting no serious interest. If he signs a contract extension he doesn't make himself more interesting to those clubs, he becomes less so. He will be getting advice from his agent to run his contract down and become a marketable property to Premier league clubs. Your owner. Faced with this has to make a decision to ignore a large financial gain now, or write-off that value and see him go for a free when his contract runs out. He didn't become a multi-millionaire by making bad financial decisions like that. I don't see him coming to us but I do see you losing him on a free in 12 months time. (Looking at the posts above I really need to type faster).
Kent Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Why would he be cheaper in January? Yes I know he'll be closer to the end of his contract but nearly all January transfers cost more than pre-season ones, if we're looking good but struggling for goals then 7m to get promotion will seem like good business. The same reason we got Bamba for 250k.
Nick Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Especially after Stringer and Tanner both made cast-iron statements that we'd be signing CMS. I think everything was pointing that way. I don't blame them for this. It's actually starting to sound a bit bitter and odd - Both Rob Tanner and Ian Stringer have a job to do and rely on information from their sources and the club, just like we do with posters like Bert - sometimes the message is wrong. Sometimes a player changes his mind - human behaviour..... so what let's move on without all the handbags. Apologies accessory if this post is not representative of your position on this, I just get fed up with all the unnecessary hate for people who on another day we will want and value information from. With regard to Maynard, when I win the Euromillions later tonight I may employ him as my personal trainer and for domestic duties round the house. Either way he's coming to Leicester. If you thought he wasn't you wouldn't waste your time on this forum. Gunight Son.
BCFC Fan94 Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/bean_head @liamlcfc nothing has changed or happened since our last statement In other words something has changed Yes because we've been so secretive about the bids so far...
Jon the Hat Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 we don't need the money Do you pay for your season tickets? What your half time Pastie? Yes? Just because the man is rich doesn't mean he wants to pay for everything.
Ric Flair Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 WAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA I love the fact we were bidding against ourselves, just goes to say we don't give a fook. Here comes the MONIES!!!!

Nick Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 WAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA I love the fact we were bidding against ourselves, just goes to say we don't give a fook. Here comes the MONIES!!!! We have so much money it doesn't matter. "How much for the chocolate bar shopkeeper?" "68 pence." "Here's a fiver - rock on."
One Arm Babba Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I'm trying to think of this the other way around???? If King was in the last year of his contract and we were offered £5million by lets say..... Bristol City. I for one would sell and say thanks very much we'll go and sign 2 players with the money. Thats what I cant get my head around. Bristol City DO NOT have a strong enough squad to mount a serious challenge for promotion. Yet if they took the £5million for Maynard and reinvested it in 2 or 3 players it would increase the strength of the team. He alone is not going to get Bristoi promoted, where as he would be the cherry on our thai fishcake! Any of you BCFC fans posting on here, can you answer me one question? What is Keith Millens transfer budget this summer? I may not have all the facts here so don't slate me, but, I don't expect it to be over £5million. Yet by selling Maynard with the intention to reinvest the revenue, you could double your transfer budget. As much as you would like to think you are on the up with rich owners, it still has to be done one step at a time. We at Leicester are very fortunate that we built a great stadium in 2002 and have a solid fan base so that all we need now is the team to push on. I dont think Bristol City are there yet, maybe in 2 or 3 years when you have the stadium and are filling it. Until that time you are very much a investment risk. Which is why I think by not selling you are shooting yourselves in the foot. Look at Southampton. Even though they have only just came up from League 1, they are in a good position to push on because of the stadium/fanbase etc. Selling Maynard now for £5million is too good an opportunity to pass up to take you forward.
Jon the Hat Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 We have so much money it doesn't matter. "How much for the chocolate bar shopkeeper?" "68 pence." "Here's a fiver - rock on." Hahaha, This is rich, none of that "building a stadium next season then going to buy a team" bollocks! That is sooooo for teams beginning with B.
I am Rod Hull Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 We have so much money it doesn't matter. "How much for the chocolate bar shopkeeper?" "68 pence." "Here's a fiver - rock on." This is how we roll..
Itsthejoeker Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Being man city on FM11 and offering above the asking price 'cus you can.
Jon the Hat Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 I do like to think of other clubs fans coming on here and reading this shit.
Guest Bilo Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 Maynard's continued delay in signing a new contract is the closest he can come to slapping in a transfer request and losing his loyalty bonus. We know it, Sven knows it and the Brizzle chairman will know it. The contract has been on offer since May, around the time of our first reported interest, and Maynard still won't commit. Sven is relentlessly chasing the player and the fact we're prepared to pay very handsome wages to players won't have been missed by Maynard or his agent. Maynard's media silence should therefore worry BCFC fans more than ourselves the longer it goes on, because their chairman might not need the money but if Maynard decides he does, he'll be off.

(Looking at the posts above I really need to type faster). you know f all about our club or our owner, he doesn't need the money the club doesn't need the money we've said we won't sell to another championship club the we won't sell to another championship club yes it is that simple and if you even new a tiny 1% about Bristol City Football club you would understand that, You say "what sven wants sven gets" Well What lansdown says goes and he has said we will not sell to a championship club, If maynard hands a transfer request (which he won't because he is one of those rare footballers that have honor) then we might consider a offer You lot call us deluded well sorry its you lot who are deluded if you think the money you are offering is even tempting the club the latest rejection should tell you that, there was no debating no 24 hours to think about it it was a flat No not for sale, The club have only made information available on our web site they haven't said to the papers or called a press conference to say he's not for sale just the clubs website Why? not because he's for sale like some of you deluded lot think but because our club always keeps us up to date on whats going on and have never lied to us that why our board and owner gets 99% of the fans backing there is never any discontent from our fans aimed at our board
Bert Posted 8 July 2011 Posted 8 July 2011 you're tight every player has a price, problem is you haven't met Maynards. We have met his valuation. There's no way he's wirth what you lot think. Your club are just being greedy. £5m for a player out of contract, after a big injury is crazy, and the indications are that may not be enough. I hope we don't get him, and he leaves you for nothing.
