Any other team it'd be a mad conspiracy, but I can't get past the nagging doubt we've smelled blood with Wasps, manipulated a situation to squeeze them, and if Hyam is collateral damage than so be it.They did it up to 2010 when successive Chris Coleman failures saw them turn off the tap and switch to trying to hijack the stadium. The amounts of money you estimate there I think are about right and really would have us above the ‘ceiling’ of 12th.
You have to speculate to accumulate.
Im sure they would be delighted to sell but where is the queue of people wanting to buyHonestly what the fuck are the owners plans? They obviously can’t compete higher than this level and they’re not getting the stadium, so surely time to sell?
According to London we are sustainable so why sell players
It's luck

If Tesco were out of prawns and beans because they'd sold them all and for only afford to replenish with mouldy cabbage, they wouldn't be sustainableYou surely can’t be that thick?

Huh? This is our 3rd season back in the Championship! What’s not working?
Losing 2 of our 3 games this season because the goalie has a mare = our business model doesn’t work in the championship
Year on year improvement for half a decade, culminating in a top half championship finish last season = luck
Gotcha
It was in response to the comment “if we are sustainable, why are we selling players?” The point being that you have to sell commodity to be sustainable.
It’s ludicrous to expect us to just let every player whittle down their contract and leave for free. We have to sell some players at some point and getting seven figures for a guy signed as development in league 2 has been good business and the only viable (and sustainable) way in which we can run.
It's our third season in the Championship and the club is now entirely reliant on average loan signings and free agents and sales are being pushed through without the blessing of the manager - who for all intents and purposes has been purported to have total say on who's sold - with little to no investment back into the playing squad.
In the medium term investment into the playing squad is required to remain competitive in the Championship and Robins has received none. That's an objective fact.
There's zero model or strategy in place now, it's sell what's available in order to balance the books and hope Robins does the best he can with what little he has at its disposal. It's a disastrous position to be in frankly as the progress made over the past two seasons is on the verge of being completely undone.
We are making a profit on any player we care about in that we would like to keep them... also they aren't guaranteed to make a profit on stock if it goes past its sell by date without being sold or is damaged or stolen... not the best argument. A sale was inevitable as it is for most clubs. I think we wanted different players to leave in truth but that's the way it goes sometimes.because they are guaranteed to make profit on their stock, whereas ours is far more variable. Not the best comparison.
Year on year improvement has been catalysed by investment back into the playing squad when sales have been made.
That re-investment has clearly stopped due to an urgent need to cover operational costs which vastly exceed turnover.
“That re-investment has clearly stopped”… we only sold him yesterdayffs I’m done with this site after a loss. People lose all sense.
See you all after our next win (when suddenly autos will be back on and anything less is a failure). Mad lot some of you.
Have you been away all summer? We’ve turned down numerous offers for our best players!?!
Don’t let our goalies gaffes in 3 games running blind you from the good work we have done for the past 5 years.
The club turned down offers for certainly Hamer and O'Hare because they weren't anywhere near their overinflated value.
For what it's worth Burnley may have met the club's valuation if it were not for him injury but that's just sheer bad luck.
Regardless, that has clearly caused the club to panic which has led to the Hyam sale and likely will lead to another in this window or in January as whatever they've received for him likely isn't enough to bridge the gap this season.

Do you think they are trying to bridge the gap for the season or the gap caused by the cancelled games, (or perhaps a combination of both)?

As I said, any other club this would be totally mental. It says a lot for our's that I even entertain it as a possibility!
As for the owners, its very clear they have taken this as far as they can. The manager has more potential than them, the club has more potential than them and the fans are ready to support the next step. Unfortunately they don't have the same desire or have the means to support it.
Honestly what the fuck are the owners plans? They obviously can’t compete higher than this level and they’re not getting the stadium, so surely time to sell?
Again, you never answer questions, what is it that you want from the owners while they are still here?
Most clubs in this league will have a negative net spend.
So if Diaz doesn't go, nor does hyam...
