guys our current right wing options are Miggy Almiron and Jacob Murphy . Of course it was terrible business to sell this guy and not get a RW in. 

Only really true if you conveniently forget that the potential alternative was to sell Anthony Gordon to Liverpool

Not a diver either

Bad decision making and wasteful in possession.

the other alternative of course was to sell Minteh and actually buy a right winger instead of fucking around for a month chasing a centre back who we didn’t even sign!

You'd kind of expect that for someone of his age and experience.

We had to sell, and it might still turn out to be great business. It will only really die down once we get ourselves a new RW and depending on how much it costs to bring one in.

Well yeah, I think we all agree with that, but the point is that selling Minteh wasn't the egregious part of it, that bit of it was fine.

Yeah, because our rw options are v poor.

Played there a lot for Everton, started off there for us and we signed Barnes. I'll bet Eddie doesn't see Gordon as only a LW but someone e who can play right along the line.

It's because one of a small cadre have to bump it with the same, boring post: "wow such shite this lad, great business"

 

Just so happens this week he scored about 15 minutes after that post was sent.

[Disco]

Hope he scores past us. 

[geordie_b]

Found his level…

[BonesJones]

When the other options were selling a purple or the club itself taking a punishment, don't you have to be pretty dim to not be content with selling Minteh?

Some people were actually content with taking a point deduction, so yeah..

The other option was to run the club properly so we didn't get ourselves into that predicament. Its done now but a bit galling to not get a replacement.

Yeh just don't think the rule makers would've accepted "oh don't worry fellas we will run it better from this point on." It was already done, you do what you can to rectify the situation, learn from it and move on, not dwell over what Yankuba Minteh may have been.

 

All options sucked, one far less than the others.

[Wolfcastle]

As if people saying the club should have been ran 'properly'  would have been okay with the results of that on the pitch.

?? I'm assuming someone screwed up as I'm sure it wasn't planned to have a fire sale on our hands.

Sometimes people should think about what is “long term” and what is “short term” for the club, and what is risk management, and also what the club should do before making such a controversial decision.

 

Great piece of business? Sounds like we should glad that we are forced to have a fire sale at June?

 

And even Anderson has firmly established himself as a regular starting eleven in Forest. We sold for what? 10m? Ouch.

 

Jesus.

Not by PSR though we sold him for over £30m and that's the essential part as well as the fee we received for Minteh. By all accounts, the player who was going, if the deals for the two players were not agreed (even one of them), was Gordon. He is both short term and long term for the club; and as it currently stood was far more important than the two players sold. I'm of the opinion that the club thought Bruno's transfer sale figure would be triggered and that he would be the player leaving. When it wasn't the fire sale then started.

 

The question to be asked is when are our revenue levels going to be increased; and when we are going to hear about stadium/training ground/commercial deals as this is very much the key factor in how the club will progress. This is the key element of the process.

100%

 

That's why it expired a week before the transfer window closed - if nobody triggered it, it gave us a week to plug the PSR gap.

The problem I find it interesting, amazing, or even amusing, is that many people didn’t realize this is a fucking gamble the club should never take. It is essentially spending in advance. 
 

The club should not assume that Bruno’s clause will be triggered and use that as the “hope” to fulfill the PSR gap. This is 100% mismanagement. We shouldn’t spend that much last summer, or we should sell Joelinton instead of giving an extension. Whatever. And, if Bruno stays, great. If he left, we should use that 100m and our scouting database to get our next Bruno. 
 

It’s like people applauding someone for putting out the fire at the last minute, ignoring the fact that it’s that guy who set up the fire at the first place. How can you give credit to the club/management and say the fire sales is great piece of business?
