Sorry Joan usually agree with your posts but not this time. You are right in the theory that we dont have to sell to keep us afloat, equally if a player wants to leave and silly money is offered you cash in, other than it feeling nice not to be selling out of desperation and having a choice when to sell, at the end of the day it makes no real difference because we did not make it work to our advantage. What is the point of saying we dont have to sell our assets, not selling at a time that would suit us , i.e. when we have time to use the money to improve the positions, only to then sell at a time when we cannot do any other business because its too late the window is shut.
We haggling and under valueing the managers number one choice to fill a gap thats needed filling for two years, now you can say the guy maybe was not worth the extra money, which at an absolute maximum would have been another 300k on top of what we were already offering, but we had been offered and subsequently received 30 times that amount for Hugill, he was not worth that either, that money now sits in the bank, so the difference between HAVING to sell and CHOOSING to makes no difference to us !!!
