We are FFP restricted, we are selling someonex who isn’t going to improve and is ageing for someone who is younger and is going to improve. We have to flexible as a club because our commercial revenue is way behind and it isn’t going to allow us to catch up to the sky 6. You reckon we get £15-20m for Pope next summer? I would be surprised. Among other things one of the ongoing problems with our bargaining position for most sales is we blatantly want the sales to go through.

No probably not because once again we’ve held on to him for too long he should have been let go this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right. But even so, with him still not fully over dislocating his shoulder a second time, I think we'd have been looking at breaking even at best.

Possible, it’s still something I’d have looked to do mind. and to be clear, he’s the best stopper I’ve seen play for but FFP means we have to box clever.

What sort of money would we be getting for him off the back of that injury? Who were we going to replace him with when we were already struggling with PSR and that Marmaduke fella was being touted for about £30-40m? Get Trafford in and hope he suddenly gets better at such a young age, but for quite a large fee? Would it even make sense at the numbers quoted at that point to change keepers for a bit of a loss or for no gain PSR-wise? Obviously we could have got yet another keeper in. As we didn't spend fuck all but I doubt that was expected by many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted Tuesday at 11:07 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:07 Surely Pope would be worth loads to any team to don't play with a high line / play out from the back? He's an unreal shot stopper Cant say I watch them, but wouldn't he do well at West Ham who sit deep and don't really play 'football' as most teams try to?

Arguably his greatest asset for us, has been how good he is as a sweeper keeper. Meaning we can push higher up the pitch. But we haven't played with such a high line since the 4th place season and he also doesn't seem quite as confident/suicidal with flying off his line these days, anyway.
