    Selling our players?

    For the first time in a long time we have the basis of a team that can complete at this level for the foreseeable future.
    With the addition of 2 or 3 perminent signings in the summer we have a chance to build on what is already there.

    To value Ajayi, Vaulks, Wiles at however many millions is natural I suppose but I'd much rather see these players stay and make us a team that can compete.

    This is the problem with the 'find hidden gems, polish them and the sell them on' approach that so many posters say is the answer to maintaining the financial stability of the club - you sell your best players.

    Would be delighted if all 3 were still here next season (if we're still in the championship) however think we'll struggle to hold onto Ajayi & Vaulks, especially if we go down.
    Wiles hopefully will stay for another season either way

    We'll also need to replace Rodack, Fulham will almost certainly want him next season

    If any substantial offer came in for any of the players then grab it. Doing so will take the strain off Tony Stewart’s wallet.
    Any cash 💰 will keep us on solid financial footings. I would love to get to a position of being able to sell at profit one player per season.

    Yes I would be surprised if Ajayi and Vaulks are still with us. I don't think either would welcome league 1 football nor another struggle season in the Championship. Both would at least double their wages elsewhere.

    Vaulks would be a good fit for Sheffield United.

    Trouble is when we sell players, its at Aldi prices instead of M & S. The club does not seem to know how to value a player.

    For some reason that has been a problem going right back to the 1960s (probably even before that). Other clubs of roughly our stature appear to have done much better than us from player sales
