Hypothetic scenario, what do we do with a crazy offer for Rickie Lambert?

[david in sweden]

really?

, but we have spent a lot on transfer fees:

That doesn't mean funds won't be there to buy, but it more than likely will be from the loan from the owner rather than pure income from tickets and tv.

 

 

Impressive stats. Chez Thanks,

but someof those listed were surely bought a season or two ago, not this season - but your point is well taken.

So you're saying you'd not sell him for £59 million??? Be pretty shocking turning down potentially the 2nd/3rd highest transfer fee of all time!!

 

Transfer fees mean nothing to me.

 

Promotion back to the prem does.

it's bizarre that anyone would contemplate selling the leagues top scorer (who recently extended his contract) when we are in a promotion race & (hopefully) financially secure.

 

a profit could be made if we did sell, but Rickie is worth much more to the team than any realistic offer.

it doesn't really matter when they were made, the fact is we have run up and sizeable debt since Markus bought the club (all to him and his family obviously) and the AOC money would effectively reduce that sum, and we wouldn't necessarily have £12m sitting in the bank.

absolutely and that is why he is going nowhere.
