Huddersfield sell striker Grant for £15M so what does that make Woodrow worth then ?

Cant see Cardiff getting him if rumours of Wilson going there is true.

 

Woodrow has played top flight football.

 

Has anybody actually bothered to read the Ebay advert ?
Selling... "One footballer, scores goals when in correct position. Can tend to drift aimlessly but with tweaking of its timing belt and other financial encouragement could be brought back to its former condition. Knows a few words and phrases in Austrian/German which could prove useful, somewhere, sometime."
"Auction bid, starting at £250,000. Buy It Now £1.5m. Offers will be considered and Ebay will reduce the Buy It Now price by 10% per week to encourage potential purchasers. Auction lasts 7 days and will be relisted up to 8 times until the sellers agree to accept anything at all."
Postage and Packing... "Seller will post Royal Mail 2nd class, or collection can be arranged."

 

I just don’t understand why these asset stripping owners that are bleeding the club dry would want to make less money.

 

I don't get the label of asset strippers. Unless they got their hands on the ground and then did something untoward with it. If you strip assets, you do so for profit above all else.

They've paid lots of money on new players (lots of them), which they wouldn't do if they were intent on extracting profit from selling everything and anything.

I've many doubts about their competence and intent, but they certainly don't appear to be purely stripping assets for personal financial gain at this time.

 

I was being sarcastic, if that wasn’t clear.

It just makes me laugh that the same people that claim they’re asset stripping are also complaining that they don’t get enough money for players. Those statements are not compatible.

 

I would like to see a detailed breakdown of Director pay though.

 

6 of Grant's 19 goals were penalties last season.

2 of Woodrow's 15 were penalties.

13 non-penalty goals each, both in struggling sides. If he does go, I'd be willing to bet we won't even get 1/5th of what Grant has just been sold for.

 

They don't. They gave it away a year ago "what if another bid didn't come in"

 

I totally agree with you, there is no evidence at all of asset stripping, there is clearly a desire to be successful in player trading and improve the overall playing standard, The signing of Sollbauer showed that the desire is there to retain Championship status and the financial benefit that goes with retaining Championship status.

Nobody would want to deliberately lose money but intentions and competence don't always equate to the same outcome. Let's hope the owners know a thing or two more than this board and go on to great success, which I think we all want.

 

Oops.

 

WBA are paying £2.5m per year over a 6 year period for him, that's disgusting from a prem club.

 

Which doesn't include his wages or bonus's. Obscene

 

They've put it down to covid 19, the money the prem have received!
