Stupid player sales

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Paul Walsh and replacing with Gerry Creaney
Tony Coton to United
Garry Flitcroft when fighting relegation on deadline day
Nigel De Jong.

not 100% sure about Coton but non of the others wanted to leave

De Jong out, Sponge Bob head in...Oh the horror

I still remember the pains I felt from De Jong's sale.

It was his decision, he wasn’t forced out. We’re not Spurs, we don’t refuse to let a player leave if we’re offered the money we believe a player is worth.

Exactly

Is selling Zinchenko, to a rival none the less, one of the dumbest sales this club has ever done, all things considered?

You do know he wanted to leave?
Keeping a player against his wishes is dumber don't you think?

We do keep players against their wishes. It's helped us win trophies.

Depends on the motivation of the players involved

We’ve not kept anyone who’s had an offer made for them that the club finds acceptable.

Colin hendry, player of the year at the time…. Reid was a clown

Sold Hendry and then realised we didn't have a centre-half any good at heading...

If we had a stupid player purchase the list would be endless :)

Did you mention this at the time or just now with the benefit of hindsight? Hmmm. Zinch was not a guaranteed first team starter, HE decided he wanted a new challenge, HE decided not to sign a new contract.
