Im also not saying the club are sitting doing nothing (although we really haven’t maximised sponsorship imo, not even close). But if we do fail to meet the PSR deadline it’s due to the a failure of the club. Where did I say you said we should sell Bruno or Isak? I'm stating the reality of what we're facing. No doubt these rumblings emboldened Chelsea's cheeky enquiry for Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggies Posted Wednesday at 14:40 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:40 4 minutes ago, Stottie said: Maybe wishful thinking, but I'd expect them to have a nuclear option of Miggy and/or Wilson to Saudi for just enough money as a fallback option of avoiding a points deduction. fwiw, some reports have claimed Jordan Henderson didn't actually receive any of that huge salary he was offered in Saudi. He deferred it for tax, and then left before he started receiving it. Football in Saudi is like some Twilight Zone way beyond my comprehension.

Bunk Moreland Posted Wednesday at 14:42 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:42 Lyon's transfer record is €25m apparently: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/olympique-lyon/transferrekorde/verein/1041 There is zero chance of them bidding £40m for anyone let alone a youth prospect.

What they have been doing, and quite rightly so, is trying to ensure we kept our best players. How on Earth they're supposed to anticipate Minteh turning down Lyon to go to Dyche's Everton, I will never know. But no problem. If push comes to shove Isak or Bruno will go to a Prem rival. Just perfect. bruno and Isak aren’t going anywhere and especially not because Minteh turned down Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we had the opportunity to turn a profit in January and get major wages off the books, with Trips happy to move to Bayern, and we turned it down. Is it fair to be asking a teen eager to carve out a career to go play in a farmer's league where he'll be lost in a sea of mediocrity? I don't think so personally.

Away Toon Posted Wednesday at 14:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:50 I'm with Minteh on this if it's true of course. The club have had months to come up with some dodgy sponsorship's or sell someone else. Who you ask? How about the one who signed for us knowing he was going to get banned. Someone in Italy would pay 30m or so for the idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird to be talking of near-record signings if you are days off being forced into a fire sale. The Olise transfer, if it happened, would have been pushed into next years accounts or done right at the end of this month whereby only a small amount of the transfer would have fallen into this year. We will still be able to make transfers after 1st July, the sale is just to ensure we haven't breached PSR in this current year. All starts again next week and you would assume we would have at least £50m to spend before player sales (hopefully more!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several clubs have shifted players this week. We allegedly agreed a fee for Miggy in January, he declined the move. Minteh wanted to move to Everton, but we got a better offer from Lyon. It would have been daft not to explore it before taking the lesser offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted Wednesday at 15:24 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:24 We aren’t going to accept a lower offer from Everton and they have just confirmed Ndiaye from Marseille today too, so they’ve moved on to alternative targets within their price range.
