Hope someone else comes in while they are messing around. Preferably a Premier League side

Hope someone else comes in while they are messing around. Preferably a Premier League sideImagine Burnley are waiting on Cornet to be sold, but that doesn't look imminent.
Do I like Sisu? NO. Do I think we are now a well run club? On the playing side, YES, and the penny appears to have finally dropped with SISU regarding transfer fees. Is O'Hare leaving? Maybe.
I think the City are approaching this perfectly. Namely, we have set a price on all our top players and if you don't meet that price swivel. The only fly in the ointment with this approach is if the player forces a move which undermines the club's stance.
I do not want O'Hare to leave. I feel he is a talisman to the team and exemplifies everything that is good about football amongst a sea of mercenary players who don't give a shit for any club. He works his socks off, has stamina, wants to play every game and rarely, if ever, gets injured. I want us to be promoted this year with O'Hare, but I am a realist and if he goes, it is with all the goodwill in the world. If he plays against us, I will cheer him on, (as long as he doesn't play too well).
Not sure Burnley is a good move for our boy.
Yeah but we get a 15% sell on, it stops us selling another player in 2 seasons timeThe annoying prospect is if O’Hare goes to Burnley & they fail to go straight back to the Premiership they will probably have to sell players like O’Hare possibly for a lot more than they pay for him.
I see you say this but I need to see it , where is the proof we have to sellThe hierarchy have admitted they need to sell 1 player. So we won’t make anyone in the end swivel. We can’t afford our wage bill without selling one
Grendel is very clued up about the financial aspect of the game to be fair. Just lets himself down with calls for taxis and Kenny JackettI see you say this but I need to see it , where is the proof we have to sell

Weve had to do it every year and not just as the player wants to move but to survive.
Sisu pulled the plug on financial support in the disaster relegation year.
Every year since operating losses have been kept away by player sales. We have a wage bill ahead of turnover and no owner investment so we have to sell or we can’t pay bills
Sisu can operate in lower leagues via successful acadamy sales but they just can’t operate at this level unless players are sold to negate losses and we also have an EFL loan

Which is exactly why we need to sell this year.We haven't sold anyone (of note) for 2 seasons.

We don’t have to do it every year, I disagree with that. But our wage bill has increased massively over the past two years, I believe I read that we’re close to spending 100% of our current income on wages. Seeing as our income isn’t going to magically increase without getting promoted then logic would dictate that we need to sell to be able to maintain said wage bill. Off the top of my head I’m pretty sure that SBB said at the time that O’Hare and Hamer’s new deals were unsustainable and were handed out with the understanding that they’d need to be sold in the near future.But if we have to do it every year just to survive and haven't done it for 2 years... How are we still here?

Who did we sell last season
Our profit on player sales in the last published accounts was £2 million versus nearly £4 million the year before - our gross wage bill was £13 million against turnover of £11 million - remember the structure of past deals from McCallum Wilson and Maddison have contributed to the accounts for several years. Unless Maddison is sold on again that well is now dry
We now have a black hole of turnover against wages alone of at least £5 million per annum as well as all other costs - there’s no magic money tree under the owners as they freely admit
But if we have to do it every year just to survive and haven't done it for 2 years... How are we still here?
We made £2 million in the last accounts on player sales
We made
Accounts are always a year behind aren't they ? Published I mean , we didn't make 2 million last season from player sales or did we ?
2 seasons ago ?Callum Wilson and Norwich will have been paying mccallum fees
Just think it’s gut wrenching how our owners wont invest a single penny into the team that’s not been recoupedIt's just not a reputable source though , as much as I respect grendel knows his numbers , his word doesn't count for alot against a companies dealings .. it's guesswork isn't it ?
A fan on SBT that's looked at accounts from 2 seasons ago can't tell us we must sell a player this window to survive .. and have his word taken as gospel that's ridiculous

This is why I disagree with the arguement that sisu are now praised. They’ve given the manager money from sell on bonuses etc, this arguement that sisu have funded these signings isn’t Necessarily correctWell yes I agree

I just can't take the word of grendel as gospel when it comes to what must happen at the club to survive
You can look at the accounts over years and see the player sales versus operating losses - Fisher openly admits it - this isn’t a secret
