    So long as the 2 mill goes back on a replacement, i'd go along with it, that said it dint go too well for us last time we flogged loads o players in Jan. Am a bit worried team dynamics gone fr a burden.

    As we’ve proved in the past, a firesale in January means we have no chance of promotion however many replacements of whatever quality we get in.
    I don’t understand the thinking of a board of directors who would rather rake in a quick couple of million pounds now rather than have the millions of pounds we would receive as a Championship side.
    And what about the supporters? Is a club not there solely for the entertainment of its fans at the end of the day? What joy do any of us get from the January transfer window and having to get used to a whole new group of players as opposed to watching the players we already have progress?
    I for one am so sick of it all that once again I find myself on the verge of giving up on football, and may well do so if more players leave this month.
    What’s the point?

    I nearly gave it all up in the summer of 2016 in spite of all the hype surrounding our promotion to the Championship the club didn't enter meaningful contract negotiations with it's better players or attempt to buy anyone of the required standard to compete. That we did so well in our first season back was a big surprise to me.

    I knew what was coming in january 17 despite Cryne doing a GG and saying no one would be leaving and he'd rather lose them on free transfers he cashed in. Who'd have thought it.

    These new owners are setting about doing exactly same in a division lower. You couldn't make it up.

    I often think Cryne sold to this consortium due to his health at the time. Knowing what we know now. It wasn't because they promised a dying man Premier League football.

    Somebody needs bringing in some capacity with a natural affinity towards the club and it's supporters best interests then. Expect this, expect that. It's always been like that so accept it. Why?

    Because we simply should do it's just the done thing. We're bottom dwellers happy for any morsels that may come our way. I for one am fed up with this mentality that sweeps through the club like a bad smell.

    Some of us do want better. We pay good money and deserve better. I'm sick of the club just banking on "x" amount of season ticket sales every year and blind faith that things will change.
