A Selling Club

[Rene Artois]

We may have to face the reality that we could end up being a selling club for a decade?

Sell to survive?

Selling what? Cockrings? Sorry, wrong thread!

[Rene Artois]

Anyone who bangs in a few goals, a marked improver, a young un showing promise?

For a decade? It’s been the basis for the club for most of its history.

In recent years any that got anywhere near a decent fee earned we managed to give away.

We have to start developing 1 or 2 a season and strengthen the club. Got to to do this from next season.

From the Fishy bit of the GT/ST:-
“It is not beyond the realms of possibility that they bring in a more experienced goalkeeper who, vitally, is confident with the ball at their feet. If a coach wants their team to play short from the back, then the goalkeeper has to feel comfortable in possession, as they are at the start of every move and the first pass out can often be crucial in determining whether the team can progress the ball quickly or not.”

Any names come to mind?

Who was the last player we sold for a decent fee? Sam Winnall? Hakeeb Adelakun? Murray Wallace?

Duane Holmes?

[Iron Age]

Barrie Thomas, without a doubt.

I couldn’t remember the circumstances of that one, was it a panic end-of-contract sale? Or an offer that was too good to refuse?

[SST]

Townsend went for the most money out of that lot that left after the play offs.

[Ferrite]

Was that one of the tribunal sales SST?

[SST]

I think Hakeeb was the only tribunal that summer, as he was out of contract. The rest were all agreed prior as I’m sure they all had a year left on their deals.
