Stupid player sales

[ArdwickBlue_M12]

Wish we got the Portuguese left back from Dortmund or David Raum. Wouldn't have cost too much cash

Trevor Francis, ripped up the league evetime he was fit and added at least 5K to the attendance in dark times, then we sold him for a huge loss. FFS

Never forget the absolute idiot Swales saying we couldnt afford to keep him, Truth was we couldnt afford to sell him.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

There are a whole manner of reason why players are sold, but you can bet the club or the player aren't going to divulge details because it may have reputational connotations for the selling club or affect future valuations should the player want to move again.

Selling. Clive Wilson still pisses me off… other awful sales were Gary Owen, Peter Barnes, David White, Ian Bishop & Trevor Morley, Steve Lomas.

I was devastated when Dennis Tueart left

I was devastated when Dennis Tueart left

I recall Dennis taking 4 pens in a game all Platt lane end if i remember rightly as the pen had to be retaken twice and maybe I’m wrong but I’m sure he put each one in the same spot.
Magic player.

Falling out with Cancelo is a bigger issue than selling Zinny. If he was dropping 9/10s every week like the last 2 seasons I don't think there'd be much concern.

 

[Keeper!]

Never forget the absolute idiot Swales saying we couldnt afford to keep him, Truth was we couldnt afford to sell him.

So true, everything went even more pear shaped if possible after his sale, that's when we knew all hope was lost.

A double smack in the face, selling Michael Hughes and the buying Rick Holden as a replacement.

Yes losing Zin and Jesus has definitely weakened us, probably more mentality than anything else. Pep spoke about passion, guts, desire and that is something those two had in abundance and I guess in a dressing room its infectious. The dressing room dynamic has changed as it has at Arsenal also.

Ricky holden was so shit, he never realised we took the piss out of his name by chanting ' oh dicky holden".
He always waved back.

Another time, he left his ex club sponsored car outside the North stand ticket office. After a shite game we were still on our way out, he got so much shit that day. No one asked for his autograph.

Yes it was a shite sale of Hughes to swap him for Holden.

He actually really tried hard which normally worked with us, however in this circumstance his efforts most of the time proved less useful than useless.

 

[jimharri]

Has anyone mentioned not signing Giggs up when he was with us as a kid? Say what you like about him, at his peak he was a very good player.

Probably doesn't count as a sale, though.
