Splash the cash

[ncRover]

Good player. 32 later this year. No resale value. Absolutely not a priority for our limited budget.

Resale value can’t be the only consideration,
The resale value of Our best player ever was irrelevent

If he's doing a good job for us, why would we want to sell him anyway? It'd be nice knowing someone else isn't sniffing round our good players for a change.

Just because he’s doing an alright job doesn’t mean there is no other better value option out there.

Prior to Northampton (the worst team in the division), the attack hadn’t been potent enough. Grant said it himself, we tightened up but don’t score enough goals.

We’d be spending lots of money on a fee and wages on a 2 year deal for a player who is at risk of declining.

Is it the smartest use of money for a club with our budget in need of a summer rebuild?

He’s a good player. But does he suit our style of play as a no.9 or attacking midfielder?

We run at a loss of around £3m each and every year. This is the loss that we budget for and Terry fills. Absent Terry, this is not a sustainable business model. We reduce or even eliminate that loss in some years by increasing revenue, including from player sales. There is typically a zero in our accounts each year for value realised from player sales. Players will and should leave, so long as we receive a good fee and have a pipeline of cheaper talent to recruit.

It must be nice deciding how to spend someone else’s money

[In the box]

build a team around a triangle of Lee, Bailey and Gotts.
What's your thoughts

Lee isn't ours.

Cant plan to build a team around a player we may not even be able to have back next season

That's why I said splash the cash and get him bought

Didn’t we splashed the cash last season .. all be it it was on a PA System and a much needed Gym and next season it’s on the Cantley Training Ground purchase and Electric Perimeter Signage , so it’s back to the budget I assume . Rovers spend more on agents than on transfer fees . But i don’t think it’s much to do with fees in as much it is to do with who , if we’re to compete with teams on far larger budgets , getting the right mix of players through the door will be necessary and know how to compete in L1 .

[Rupee92ONLY]

We spent roughly the same on agents fee’s this season in L1 as we did last season in L2 which suggests we have a pretty set budget on agent spend. That’ll probably need to be upped for next season really.

100% we need to get better at developing talent and cashing in on them. If we can bring 1m a year in from sales imagine the general improvement in the playing squad we could achieve. That would see us likely playing better football and thus getting helping development further. And one day if Terry’s 3m isn’t on offer we’ll at least be able to stand on our own feet at a decent level.

We are investing really well in off the pitch things that shouldn’t be knocked it will help us in the longer term. Just getting that knack of getting a decent fee fairly regularly would be huge for the playing budget

It is inevitable that Terry's 3m won't be on offer one day.

We will need someone else of his wealth and commitment if we are to continue to remain competitive

Yungblud ha ha!

Isn't Terry worth around £500 million?
Yungblud won't be worth 1% of that. Certainly nowehere near enough to fund a professional football club!
