They sell them and use the money to rebuild. They don't just fall over at the first offer then pocket the little they recieve.

The worst thing about today is the club have shown a lack of ambition. All similar size clubs that have been successful after dropping to this level (like Norwich & Southampton) have kept their best players and built their teams around them. The Maddison deal shows we are clearly happy to be a league one club, or at a push lower championship.
I genuinely thought we'd turned a corner this year. Looks like I was mistaken.
There is little point in comparing our time in League 1 to that of Southampton and Norwich; they had a lot of money. While we are a tenant to a franchise rugby club in a stadium, this is going to happen.
Walsall and Gillingham manage to hold onto their prize assets, we're getting triple the gates of those clubs and sell ours.
You wouldn't have thought so the way people are talking!We've held on to our prize asset - he's still here.
I remember the same anger being shown when a young Bigi left for Newcastle. Whatever happened to him?
I dont.

Mowbray is going to be absolutely fuming, if he still stands by his last comments on Maddison. A well respected manager like him will know if theres any future for us with our current regime and like Robins did, he may be looking elsewhere.

We cashed in early as we weren't prepared to offer him higher wages (ambition) or prepared to let him play more games show the rest of the football world his ability, wanted the cash now just in case he didn't live up to his potential, rather than more money in the summer, a gamble in SiSU's mind.
Season over.
Also Southampton sold their youngsters and also sold there best players have got into the premier league top 4.
In league one they also had a billionaire owner and a near £30 million wage bill in the championship - still they sold their youngsters.
Remind me how much saints got for there players? And how much we've got? Wilson before injury being touted for 20 mill. Maddison will be a 10 million player when he leaves Norwich

ON the contrary. The club have shown total ambition to get promoted this season. Using the money straight away where we need it to bolster the squad to go up.
I think it shows Madders wanted away at any cost. I could understand any player wanting to join Liverpool or Spurs. Clearly they didn't come in for him. But to opt for Norwich...I'm sure an OK club but with ambition to just stay in PL ...I just don't get it. Does Madders in his heart feel he is not good enough for the very top?

Reality check.
Maddison is over rated!
Lightweight fairy.
Been crap lately, no influence on games at all.
You'd think we'd just sold the next Messi ffs.
Well done seppala another cock up! Take the early money and run
No ambition whatsoever!!
Say we get into the championship sist? What's your plan? You should of waited until the end of the season before deciding Maddison's future, if we'd gone up he might have stayed
You've shown your true colours again sisu and you have now shown us the direction you want to take the club-down
we are stronger squad today than we were yesterday IMO
Norwich papers reporting £2.5m + add ons

Maddison sold, which everyone expected. He is still with us until May for our promotion challenge. Two defenders have come in on loan to bolster the defence, which everyone said was need. Fleck is still here when people said he would be gone. Sounds like we can still challenge to me?
Having seen the other deals made in this window, who have we missed out on?
Burton and Gillingham have lost players.
Promotion is still on.
