So top scorer Sordell sold, followed by next top scorer.
Remember Jutkievicz was sold in Jan when we were fighting relegation from Championship too.
I realise that we are already down this year (not mathematically, but realistically), but it seems that those in power are sanctioning sales which make absolutely sure of it...

If it meant that SISU would just go after selling the players that they could then I'd sort of be ok with it. We can live in hope I suppose.

Yep Fisher will be crowing at the fact that despite the league position we have made a reasonable profit I am sure the other parasites will think OHH Good...fuck the future and fuck the team as long as the balance sheets look good...I see Slade now is the patsy

I reckon bringing in Rawson and Clarke sort of looked like her knew to get cover. Unless he was just stacking up on centre halves and doing the opposite of mowbray and his strikers.

Very similar circumstances to when we were relegated from the championship just on a far shitter scale. Who'd have thought that was even possible when we were left to fight relegation with Clive platt and a half fit Cody McDonald?!

Christ, it's that bad even Clive Platt to do half a job up front with BEavon for us now!

Errmm, don't quite get some of the annoyance in this thread.
Surely we appealed the sending off because at the time he was our player.
What if a deal didn't ever get agreed with Rotherham? Surely you treat your player as your player until he is your player no more.
There was no guarantee that Rotherham or whoever were going to match any price we had on his head. We may not have been actively selling him, it could be Willis who wanted to go, but we wanted to keep him unless a decent enough offer came in for him.
Also don't get the selling him right now today anger. Surely better to sell him today rather than at this time tomorrow with no hope of a replacement.
Slade said he had finished with the defence side of things, but that was based on what we had. I would assume he will now look for a replacement.
As for Willis, not good, not bad, just average, but good luck to the guy. No-one can ever say he didn't always out the effort in and try his best.

Willis isn't an amazing player, but we are undoubtedly worse off without him in the squad. With 24 hours of the window left, I have no faith at all that Slade can bring in another player with similar experience, ability, and health.

Who the hell sells their captain on the last day of the window while fighting to survive relegation!? It's fucking imbecilic!

I wouldn't have said it but for the fact I went on Facebook and saw: 'CCFC accept third bid for Willis.'
One story below posted an hour before said: 'CCFC appeal Jordan's red card.'
Just smacks of a massive joke really.

I'd take Kevin Kyle and Dean Holdsworth in their current state at the moment! I dread to think what this threadbare squad is going to look like in 24 hours and 12 minutes time!!

It if the two bids were unacceptable then he was still our player and surely there was no guarantee that Rotherham would have come back with a third offer.

A club who has a poor defence and has been shipping in silly goals all season?
Defence has been very poor all season. Don't think we should be unhappy losing anyone to be quite honest.

I don't get the anger. There has been strong Willis rumours all month, so now he finally goes.
Slade has bought in two CB's and a RB, plus we have Stokes (sort of), Turnbull and Harries in the background.
If I had to pick one of the three strongly rumoured to leave (Stevenson, Harries and Willis) then from a resourcing perspective he's the best option.
The frustration and anger will absolutely be justified if tomorrow we've sold Willis, Stevenson and Harries/Haynes and bought nobody in. It will be evidence of a lack of invesment, planning and care for the club.
The key is Slade and his team having targets identified for when the above happens.

I would guess you have just hit the nail on the head, He will be informed in due course or read it the telegraph, a day after it happened or of course come on here and see it before. Due course will be the slowest

What would you do Otis, if you were CCFC and had a fan base on edge, then you'd just had two bids for a player?
Wait another day until the transfer window closes just in case, or make a comment about a player and probably agree to sell him about 45 minutes later?
It's just common sense, and the club don't have any of it.

Really aren't bothered.
He isn't a world beater and not convinced he can make the step up anyway.
We've got tomorrow to bring in another few players.

I would sell him today rather than tomorrow.
If it has become clear today that he is going a new he wants to leave I would much rather do it today than tomorrow. That would give me a day to replace him if I needed to.
Maybe Stokes is on the way back. If he is back he can play centre half and suddenly it doesn't look so bad at all.
I think if we are going to moan it needs to be at the end of play tomorrow. Then we will know if it's been a good window or a bad one.
We can all second guess of course and assume and we may all be right, but I would rather reserve judgement until tomorrow.
Then the picture might be a lot clearer.
Someone should ask fisher why do you sell your captain when your fighting to avoid relegation??
Otis
Well-Known Member
Been a rumour for a while that he isn't happy, so maybe this is Willis saying he wants off.
If a player doesn't want to play for us I would rather he wasn't here personally.
Maybe it will all be clearer by the end of play tomorrow.

Also, has Willis agreed terms yet? If the deal were to fall through, then people would say 'why didn't we appeal the sending off.'
Otis

Exactly!!

Seems to me that most people don't believe Willis to be that good a player and someone who is rather average anyway.
So why are we all upset he is going?
We might all just be surprised at who is coming in tomorrow.
If no-one comes in at all of course and others are to go too, THEN is the time to start wailing and gnashing teeth.

Does anyone think further departures will lead to more unrest? If we lose Stevenson tomorrow I really can see a lot of fans losing total control at the next couple of games. We're in free fall and the worry of relegation has turned into acceptance and rage.
