Great for DA and Sam, C**p for Town

They'll pay him a fortune compared to here, parachute money, bye Sam and all the best mate.

Make it the statutory £750k, like I said in another thread and they'll accept!

TBH I'd snatch their hand off. Good player, versatile but I would say not integral to team. Will be shot down for that but is replace-able and I'd use some of cash to secure Jimmy and wages for a striker. Unless it goes to pay off debt!!?

I wouldnt really argue with that. Good player but not indispensible imo. Mansfield have 15% (?) sell on and then its allegedly 70% to pay off debt 30% to player fund

So if we get 750k, its around 200k back to players fund.

That would be approx £100k to mansfield £200k to player fund and £450k off debt if my sums are correct* (not forgetting we paid £70k for him)

* which they aren't

Who else thinks it will be £650K to loan repayments/funding deficits?

Agree completely. Good business and free up funds. Not integral. Rather fight off bids for Roberts and keep Ryan

Are suggesting there isn't really a player fund?

Was it operation when we sold Cooper and Doyle?

I think I've just answered my own questions

Sean Taylor @seantaylorpress
Chesterfield have rejected bids from two clubs for Sam Clucas, one of which was from #Wigan
#spireites


Two clubs being interested makes it easier for us to drive up the price should we want to.

I will believe it when we announce the retention of Ryan and Roberts and a contract extension for Tendayi. As for Sam Morsy, I am sure he will also be sold before the season starts.

I couldn't disagree more. He's got 2 years left and he's absolutely integral - I think he's played every match he has been available for. He is a Championship player with Championship skills. There is no way we should sell to a L1 team, and especially to rich smart asses who think they can take advantage, like we did to our neighbours. £1.5m minimum.
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on
