Do we have a sell on clause ? They have accepted a £15 million bid today.

    Possibly something to do with why Cowley got sacked.

    Someone coming down, or someone going up I guess.  Leeds?  25 minute drive down the M62 from Hudds.

    I don't think it matters really. Whatever is in the club will be syphoned off and the club put into admin. I think the best we can hope for is to stay up on Wednesday so that the impending 12 point deduction happens whist we are still in the Championship. In a way, I'd rather there wasn't a sell on fee as I don't like to see parasites thriving.

    If we have got a sell on fee it might pay Rolands 1.5 mill staying up bonus.

    Reportedly two million.  The loan to Crawley made a man of him.  We saw him in a pre-season friendly when he returned to us, and it was immediately obvious he had the cutting edge - and cockiness - of a proper striker.

    Reckon it's a team that just missed out on the playoffs, closer to home than Huddersfield is

    Karlan who.....?

    Doesn't surprise me though. The only thing in life that is guaranteed is death, taxes & ex-Charlton players being sold on for more than we got for them in the first place.

    True? .... joke or just somebody's wishful thinking? Wiki has been changed already!

    Birmingham City[edit]

    On 19 July 2020, Grant joined Birmingham City for £2,500,000, signing a contract until the summer of 2023. Karlan Grant has left the terriers shortley after the latest manager Danny Cowley had been sacked.

    Young English striker with goals in the Premier League. Of course he’s worth £15 million in today’s market - you can argue that the market is mad but the price is about right within the market as it currently stands

    First comparison off the top of my head, Bournemouth paid £19 million for Solanke. And he’s sh*te.
    They are both shit . Two season ago he couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo with us and we loaned him out to Crawley and now he’s a 15 million pound player ? Nonsense . What championship club has that sort of money to pay for him and which premier league club is stupid enough to do the same ?

    Hope we have no sell on fee, fuck our owners (whoever they are) and fuck him.

    Have Birmingham got 15m?  So Karlan finds the financial offer enough to compensate for playing in the "most likely to go into admin next year" mid table sloggers?

    Maybe Fulham to go up top with Mitrovic assuming they don't go up would be a good fit and they have daft money.

    Potentially through the sale of Bellingham

    In the current financial climate it can surely only be Leeds or Norwich, depending on which one you're technically classing as currently a championship side.

    Can't see too many other Championship clubs having 15m to spend on a striker. Bournemouth or Villa obviously if they come down too.

    Brentford perhaps as an outside bet, as he would fit the mould for their type of signing and they may be getting 20m+ for Benrahma. But surely they would wait to see what division they'll be in before bidding?

    It’s West Brom. My Huddersfield mate said they are selling to them to avoid going into administration

    The Duchatelet model seems to be to develop players and sell them on the cheap, or lose them for nothing, so other teams can make a lot of money from them. Then we all go and have a jolly good dance.

    But that simply isn't true when Roland took over Richard Murray assured us the days of selling our young players off cheap were finished.
