omariqy Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We were literally hours away from going bust. We need to focus on building a sustainable club moving forward. We will probably still need to sell Jack and Chester but at least now we can negotiate higher fees and actually build a squad with some of the money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we can avoid selling them mate (as we all do). Statement mentions improving the squad.....selling Jack won't do that. Perhaps any sale could be put off till January now, and see where we are then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof hearted Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Fun fact. My boss told me last night about this as his best friend is the lawyer that brokered the deal, could have ITK'd the shit out of it but thought better of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
