Financial situation as bad as reported?
Is it a case we’re on the brink if we’re relegated as looks almost certain? Rumours an £89m loan will need repaying, plus all of our outstanding transfer fees which dwarf the fees coming in.
Seen a lot of transfer lists that seem bonkers how much people think we’ll get for players. Even when in good positions we’re historically poor sellers. I’d say we can get the following fees:
Fernandes £50m
Bowen £30m
Summerville £25m
Todibo £10m
Diouf £10m
Soucek £10m
Taty £10m
AWB £5m
Mavropanos £5m
So a little over £150m. Is that enough? Sure we’d be able to sell others for small amounts but that feels a realistic list of our most valuable players post relegation. Given we’d need to bring in probably 10 players it doesn’t look great.
