But selling the best players may satisfy the FFP ruling but it doesn't solve the weekly/monthly cash flow issues. If we sold Jack for £30m it only improves the balance sheet. We'd still have a monthly tax/wage bill that seems to be the overriding issue.
Imagine how the Italian or South American Ultras would react to players like McCormack and Richards stinking out their clubs. I would have expected them to have found alternative clubs by now.
I'd be tempted to hold fire on any quick sales. Let's just say by Xmas we're in the hunt. If we get promoted we may get hit by FFP restrictions but the likelihood is a fine at worse. As we've seen in other cases it's not a business threatening amount. The league next year does not look that strong. IF we need to sell we have January as a back up if the league form gives us no hope. I'd be more foccused at trying to shift the big earners than selling our best players for under market value.
I think clubs would take Lansbury, Hogan and Taylor off our hands. They've still got a few years left him them at this level. Wasn't there another club interested in Lansbury before he came here?

Trouble is the clubs who would want them, can't afford them.

I can imagine Taylor being on that because he came from a Premier League club. Not sure about Lansbury or Hogan but who knows?

I can imagine Taylor being on that because he came from a Premier League club. Not sure about Lansbury or Hogan but who knows?There was a quote the other day that Hogan's wages are "eye-watering". I'd be surprised if he was on less than £50K a week. People who go for £10m+ are rarely on less than that, and there were rumours that West Ham were sniffing around. I think we've got very little chance of getting rid of him personally.
