spot on !
If we're able to get a 7 figure sum for a guy we picked up on a free last year and who hasn't really proven himself at L1 level then it's good business if that gets reinvested in another striker.
Clubs don't talk about "meeting our valuation" unless they are looking to sell, or at the least, resigned to a player leaving.It doesn't really suggest anything like that.

Whilst that maybe true it would be nice to get out of the constant rebuilding every summer.I want McNulty to stay but to say there would be no replacement available for the money is nonsense. McNulty was available on a free this time last year and Robins has always been good at picking up and building a team around a good goalscoring striker.
Definitely. The preference would be to tie him down to a 3 year deal and get rid of any speculation.Whilst that maybe true it would be nice to get out of the constant rebuilding every summer.
In an ideal world(!) we'd probably go the Charlton under Curbishley model, where the best players were sold to enable the squad as a whole to be improved, while also using some of the cash to pay running costs.Whilst that maybe true it would be nice to get out of the constant rebuilding every summer.
We’re 1st Division players really only earning 25k a year in 1985 ?I think the main thing is the unrest, if we were to give McNulty an extra 100k a year then other players would be asking questions about their pay rises. You would have thought there would have been a promotion clause in most of the new contracts to say they get a raise if we go up a league anyway.
Have a look at the gap between League One and the Championship average wage (This is from 2014 though), it's a massive jump.

No it’s a year to try and do something and then sellNot sure SISU would like us to be a middling Championship team
Correct - In terms of control over the players wages, etc, but we've lost the option of purchasing 50% of the Ricoh from the Higgs Charity, when we went into administration. The lack of access to 7 day a week revenues from the ground is a barrier to any takeover.I think they would. We'd be back where they found us, and on a better financial footing than when they took over. Sure, we have the whole Ricoh issue hanging over us, but that aside the club would be in a relatively positive position. And it only takes one fluke of a season to reach the promised land of milk and honey.
Isn’t Tim Fisher on record when we were in the championship basically saying we can’t afford to be in it, what’s changed ?
FA cup yearThe better players were on more than that certainly, but as an average possibly. In 1992 Mick Quinn was on £1600 a weej
I forgot that perhaps he had a point
Did we sell anyone noteworthy?I think the point is that the club's turnover in the Championship is at the mid-lower end anyway, as the club has limited revenue streams, that said, apparently the club turned over £15m in 2011/12 which is better than quite a few current Championship clubs (those figures were in the JR but don't sound right to me?)
We had one year where it was £11M I think with losses the same ?I think the point is that the club's turnover in the Championship is at the mid-lower end anyway, as the club has limited revenue streams, that said, apparently the club turned over £15m in 2011/12 which is better than quite a few current Championship clubs (those figures were in the JR but don't sound right to me?)
£70K in today's money. Also stuff was a lot cheaper then too.We’re 1st Division players really only earning 25k a year in 1985 ?
Very true, Wolves posted a pre tax loss of 23 million last season, that kind of cash keeps us going for 4 or 5 years.Isn’t Tim Fisher on record when we were in the championship basically saying we can’t afford to be in it, what’s changed ?

He signed a 2 year contract last July when he came.
One year left.
Oooh interesting, that changes things considerably!He said 1 more year, plus the club has a further year option, so that's 2 years - good news, and surely puts us in a strong position to hold out. We can always look at selling (if he wants to go) in a year's time and still get something for him. Also, offer him a few more quid now to keep him sweet. Absolutely no point selling now.
