We could have finished 4 or 5 places higher in the league and Vaz Te left for nothing, instead we get £500,000 and a better chance of 6 points next season!
Err, more people still interested enough to renew, new players easier to convince we might aim higher than ****ing 21st
If you don't think there's a difference between stopping up solely because another team had points deducted and finishing in the top half of the table then I'm not going to waste my time telling you
Should have sold him for a lot more. When Wes Morgan goes for over £1m with the same length of contract left, don't u think its bad business. He'd scored 14 before we sold him. Bad Bad Bad business yet again from a board not capable of running the bank in a game of monopoly.
You can just imagine the negotation Sam, "You may as well take £500,000 now cos he's going to be worth f*ck all in the summer" Don, "OK, deal done" Nothing wrong with selling him, but there should have been a few riders on as well like every other chuffing club bar us seems to do. Premier League football's worth £60,000,000 to West ham so couldn't we at least have said "Plus another £1 million (or even half a million) if you get promoted. We seem to be the League's worst at negotiation.
Thats because there is no point, running a business is easy we will keep an assett that wants to leave even though the players around have also left or got injured we ain't going up and we don't need the money and there is no bigger picture.
I'd love to know what the bigger picture was. We only ever look at the short team hence no promotion clauses etc. Don's remit is to break even or turn a profit. Selling players is an easy wasy to achieve this so why would he push for a better deal? No matter that the impact of him leaving was the manager getting the nark on and losing the plot, the fans being treated to a massive 14 points in 2012 causing a general apathy to set in effecting revenues for next season and BFC being a less attractive option for new players.
