         jedinak/whelan

Assuming we loose Chester, Jack Adomah


We'll be in League one quicker than Sunderland.

On paper it doesnt look a disaster but with questionable fitness records and poor performance the reality is grim. Even with the better players being sold our squad should in theory be aiming top 10. Wonder if McCormack will find his way back.

Agree on chester, he's been key for us. will be a shame to let him go cheaply

He looked good didnt he. I guess the problem is he has less than 30 senior career games under his belt so we cant rely on him

Jedinak will go too I reckon. If he doesn't he's starting at centre half every week. Probably alongside Tuanzebe.

If Chester is going, with Terry already gone and Grealish leaving, we might be better off going to 352 next season. De Laet if he doesn't go has played on the right of a 3 before. Jedinak and a youngster maybe could make a 3. Even bringing in someone like Tuanzebe is a gamble as he was only fit for about 3 weeks. Replacing a bloke as consistent as Chester, that has played every minute of every game, is going to be virtually impossible. We should be asking for 15 million plus.

£15m? Absolutely no chance, unless we're the one paying it. He's 30 in January, and last time he moved between PL clubs he only went for 8.

He's a bit like my car; its worth to me is massively different to what anyone would be prepared to pay to take it off my hands.

Feck knows is my considered professional opinion.
If someone buys us all they can do is finance the business without being able to make any serious investments to improve the team.
A team which will have lost its best players.
Whilst the league continues to receive relegated clubs with huge parachute payments.
We are not just fucked we are fucked for a very long time.

Tell that to Wolves, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester, Brighton, Huddersfield, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Hull, QPR, Reading, Wigan and Bolton fans. All teams that either got relegated and didn't go back up or who went up havign not had parachute payments.

I've not gone through all of them either.

It will be harder but it's all achievable.
Not sure what point you are trying to make.
If you are trying to argue that our situation can be normalised in the short term than I would love to read how you think that will happen.

You said that all the clubs with parachute payments will make us fucked for a long time. My list shows the clubs that were relegated and didn't go up again or were promoted without having had any.

We're not fucked.

Those two files submitted to Companies house have now appeared on it's website to view.

Wyness has been dismissed and the other file I'm not sure what it is about but they are dated 25th May, so before even the play off final so what ever was'' planned'' it was going to happen one way or the other.

Can someone check them over and see what it exactly means?

Wasn't something supposed to be happening this week? Can one of the accountants currently debating on the Wyness thread kindly advise us thickies (actually, I've got a degree, but as its in Russian, it's not entirely relevant) whether we are currently more or less fucked than we thought we were when the faeces initially impacted with the whirly thing.
