Fools are easily parted from their money as we have witnessed over the road since Gill/Ferguson left.The issue is they tap up players and then try every trick to drive down the price.
Some might not see that now, but will be Bernie is sold for £40 million (£25 up front and £15 million over 4 years) and £10 million on the basis they win back to back UCL’s etc.
I know the response is the club should not sell, but it won’t be that simple.
If they paid market value whilst looking for a bit of a deal, fine. But they take the P.
A top club that players want To play for have huge leverage in deals
