andyc35i Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 I don’t see why we aren’t just taking the points deduction instead of messing about trying to shift players at the last minute. If we think this is great business and will allow us to spend more money then that’s great, but this clearly about balancing the books, which is just wrong. Take the sanction and argue the case at the appeal. There’s weight in the argument that don’t have anyone to sell and the rules are just not practical for a team trying to rise up the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add-ons and a sell on percentage would be pretty key, if he's going to Brighton. Could benefit massively from that in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve clearly been keen to play nicely with the rules from day one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 (edited) Going off that, I'd assume he was always a Brighton target, and one we took up because Ashworth advised. Think we'd be mad to sell, should be offloading others first for the sake of raising 30m. Edited June 28, 2024 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he could be one of those players who frustrates and excels in equal measure, but Brighton will be patient and provide him with the right coaching. 1 minute ago, KaKa said: Add-ons and a sell on percentage would be pretty key, if he's going to Brighton.

We can only guess what PIF's current strategy is, but a PSR breach will almost certainly result in a points deduction of some form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Brighton are one of the few clubs I like in English football other than Newcastle. Having lived down there for a good few years in the past I’m always happy for them to do well as long as it’s not at our expense. In this case it’s obviously a very unfortunate situation for us but whatever, I’m sure we’ll be fine and he will too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 It's pretty mental that our scouting team picked him up before Brighton - sign of positive things to come I guess. Still, pain in the backside if he's sold for £60-80M in a few seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
