Piroe

Yes, it’s a balance, but your answer is glib. Does our solvency depend on selling Piroe? Tell us….

Either we sell and then have to replace his goals, or we sell and consider that we have already replaced his goals with our summer signings. Which is it?

I'm of the opinion that our transfer business has been done in the expectation he would be sold, and we'll be in a tight spot if he's not. We've brought in three forwards, two for significant fees, so if two end up sat on the bench that's poor use of limited resources considering we don't have a left wing back still.

Without regular big player sales our solvency depends on the whims of the American investors. If they keep pouring money into the black hole then we'll be fine. If that stops large loans are hard to come by (because banks know Championship clubs can't pay them back) and we can very, very quickly end up in a Reading situation with points deductions and embargoes for not paying bills on time.

I think you may be right, and we may have already replaced Piroe bodies wise, but whether we have replaced him goals wise remains to be seen. We spent a huge chunk of change on the two strikers and even if we sell Joel for the numbers we are hopeful of we’ll only be about 5 million up and if we factor in the original Piroe fee we’ll be about 2.5 million up. Massive sums of money but not enough to keep a haemorrhaging championship going for long.

State why you believe it.

The same source who called the Grimes extension before it was public is making the same claim as Piroe as you have just posted.
 
New contract was only going to happen if no one came in for him before the window closed imo.
