Are they really? These people seem to have no idea whatsoever. Like him or hate him, Pulis will do a job over a season. To dump him 3 months into the season is total madness. They think there is some magic wand when they dump their managers. I am so glad for our owners and board.
To slightly contradict myself (@Bold Seagull will love this) I cannot for the life of me see us sell him to a non top six side, they are all our rivals, unless there are clauses.
I didn't say it was only about the player, I said they have more power than a club. And of course we won't undervalue his stock, but he will go if there were 30 mill+ offered for his services from a top six club and he felt it's the right move for him.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree regarding player power. Also, we have no idea what is written into Dunks contract or whether he has a buy out clause. I've said it previously, I'll say it again, I don't want us to lose our jewel, but if the right offer comes in, he will go.
I'm not arguing anything fella, I wish for Dunky to stay without a doubt, however, there is a difference between realism and shrieking like a little girl. At the moment I can hear your decibels from here.
Clever ending to your synopsis however you are not taking Dunk into your consideration, it's just club, club, club. Contracts mean nothing, it just gives you better bargaining power when selling. If a player is unhappy and puts in a transfer request, there is very little you can do about it. I...
Where have I mentioned that? If someone comes in with a 30 mill bid, a top six side, he will ask to move, quite simply. The club won't stand in his way. This is about England and getting in the summer squad. He will be 29 come the next WC, so this may be one of two opportunities in his career...
