We're a selling club. Worst case scenario?

[Ron_Justice]

Seriki, gone, Peck, gone, O'Hare, gone, Bamford, gone, Cooper, gone, Blaster, gone, Burrows gone.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Swap Bamford for Ryan One, we won’t sell Bamford, One has the value.

 

[Blade In Flame]

Seriki, gone, Peck, gone, O'Hare, gone, Bamford, gone, Cooper, gone, Blaster, gone, Burrows gone.

LOL, Cannon can't even get into an emergency line up.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

[Ron_Justice]

But seriously though, this is what a fire sale would look like IMO. Houston_Blade is probably right, if/when we're this desperate, Onē is probably gone too.

Not too shabby that side

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If we're going nowhere in the short-medium term, we need to be thinking about selling and maximising every current asset

While keeping enough to be comfortable this season - but that will vary greatly depending on any points deduction

 

[Down the Channels]

Not too shabby that side

Not sure how good the gone brothers are though?

 

[s20Blade]

Tananga would bring in 5m+

 

[Pintor75]

If Peck or Seriki were ever going to be sold we should have shifted them early in the window and brought in a couple of decent replacements for around £5/6m each, not wait till now when it's too late to do that and we're left with loans to make up the numbers, Mehmeti would've been ok maybe Piroe, now whu etc

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Seriki is one who'd have to be sold now to maximise the fee

I'd have done that and got Kesler-Hayden on loan if possible, but I doubt he'd come here now

If we could get 4-5m for Tanganga I'd do it and just keep McGuinness

Try and get Woolfenden loan to permanent regardless

Burrows could be sold now, and we could keep RND

Peck probably needs to stay for at least half a season. Bit too risky to lose him now if we're to get a deduction

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Sell as many as we can, sort the debts out and get the club on an even keel, doesn't matter if we get relegated.

I don't want these owners tarnishing our clubs name any more than they already have

 

[Sean Thornton]

Selling players will help cover the losses and fund incoming transfers (l know, l know) not fund any payments arising from legal matters.

That’s is the owners don’t use it to repay monies they’ve already put into BLL/SUFCL!

 

[FredZeppelin]

Don't forget the manager's pay off around Christmas.

That won't be cheap.

Every club is a selling club. Except possibly Real Madrid.

Thats the way it works.

Tbh that 11 is still probably enough to keep us in the division, although I'd be minded to get Faxon back from his loan rather than rely on Davo in goal.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Tbh that 11 is still probably enough to keep us in the division

We'd finish rock bottom with about 20 points.

 

[luffenhamblade]

Do we really think our owners are so stupid that they make some signings, put a significant bid in for Souttar and then do a fire sale? I’m completely unconvinced by them as our custodians but I’d be really surprised if they are that stupid.

 

[Blood Red]

We've sold enough. The buck stops now with our owners. It's time to back manager.
Give him some cash to invest ....

 

[Tarqs]

Wilder could get that side in the top half.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Has there ever been a time when we weren't a selling club?

We're not alone in that respect as the majority of clubs depend on sales to exist from day to day.
Attempting to keep ominous warnings at bay must be a job in itself so expectations should always be grounded.
Like any Blade I've witnessed good teams built then dismantled, so very little surprises or disappoints me.
This is, of course, not restricted to United. Countless clubs follow similar patterns but it doesn't mean that
cynicism doesn't become a given for supporters all over this land.

Do You think they. Will still try and sign a defender and fund loans honestly I think what player would want to come here now maybe soutar but soon as we sign gun a player for money it will be they used that money they should have paid there former owner .

 

[CPB]

It's not down to us doing a fire sale. In fact the issue simply isn't the club.

Club can't buy itself. Ownership groups do.

This is a matter between Americans and Prince.

But it doesn't mean we can escape points deductions or penalties.

Not unless they are intending to pay the prince via 1919 or personally. OR there are some specific clauses that mean they can legally navigate this way and it satisfies both financial authorities and football. But I am struggling to see how that flies at all.

 

[Brownieblade]

Just in terms of the current squad

It doesn’t make sense at this point to sell, it’s less than 2 weeks to window, most clubs have done business already and given our public troubles most clubs, you would assume, will have seem our plight and will offer dirt cheap

As of now there is nothing to suggest that we will go down the piggy route of can’t afford to run the club, pay wagers etc etc

Sure I get that majority of people understandably will be putting 2 and 2 together and assuming we can’t but we have heard nothing suggesting it

Plus selling dirt cheap really won’t help much if we are in trouble

As of now imo we have a squad good enough to finish top half of league or higher but that depends entirely on wilder changing his approach to games and being more positive

Personally I don’t think he will but I think we have the players to do so

And we don’t need to fire sale, let’s get to Jan window and see where we are then

Not really, live in hope though - it's The Blades way over the years.
