He sounds a shambles, saying their come up with a plan after training to look at bringing someone in?
Then saying they knew he was going for ages.
£500,000 Won’t replace billy, league 2 clubs get a lot of more for players in January...
We have to be more wise as Taylor’s situation hasn’t hit home to the board,
We should have sold bodin before the season and we would have got 1 million plus and bought 2 players for that...

Unless you can tell me where that £1million was offered from, who by and your source? The best I've heard so far is £500k by Preston. If the difference was £100k between selling him in the summer and selling him now then they sold him at the right time. |

It’s not a fact he’s worth a million but it’s obvious looking at today’s market he is, And Hamer stated the price they got for him reflected on the situation |

You put the price tag on him and let everyone know he’s available? Basic shop keeping? That’s like asking a shop keeper how do you sell your products as they have a limited time on them and no price tag, Something this club needs to do...it’s called good business sense Not wait til The sell by date is running out and expect to get top price and blame it on the situation, |

He could have signed a pre-contract agreement with anyone on the 1st January and we would have got nothing regardless of price tag |

Some people will find any reason to bash the club.
If we'd sold him in the summer you would have been one of the first people on here saying we lacked ambition.

I think we have two different issues. On one hand the club can't be blamed for offering new contracts and players refusing to sign. So given the situation we did the right thing in selling him for £400k plus. However: and more worrying players who are itk are NOT convinced this club is able to surpass our current standing. I was probably naive in thinking the Walel takeover not only secured our best but added even more.
It's done now and we must be all united ( allowing different opinions) in supporting the club to secure division one status. It's gonna be harder without the quality of a player like Billy.

We offered him a new contract in the summer which he didn’t sign when he had a year to go.
No one came in for him in the summer. So how could we have sold him and got a million for him.
He has been purchased on his form since the summer. Had he not banged in 10 goals I doubt anyone would have been overly interested this window either and we would have been his best option for improved terms.
I’m not the boards biggest fan but there isn’t much they could have done about this. They have made a better fist of this than they did the Taylor situation where he could have left in the summer, didn’t, gave him a new contract with a 300k buy out knowing he scores goals and will score goals, that he was a prized asset. That was insanity and stupidity in itself and we got what we deserved on that one.
