United are probably looking at balancing the books before next season.January sales are generally more lucrative. You'd rather be selling as a Prem club than a Championship club. I don't see too many more assets that could realise a big return.
We have to sell a player plus Archer before next season if we go down, putting us in an invidious position. The decision might be to sell Anel and give Wilder a slice of the fee, rather than the whole fee, resulting in us not needing to find a sale - at least a necessitated one - in the summer. We have a big drop in wages in the summer, but have a lot of players to potentially replace including Bogle, Wes, Davies, Basham, Egan, RND, Jebbison, Mcattee, Mcburnie, Norwood, Lowe, Larouci, Fleck, Osborn, Coulibaly, BBD, Archer etc. The sale of Anel can probably help with that.
You'd think any big fee would be divided among a number of incomings on Championship wages rather than one or two big hitters for fees of 5 million plus.
