Had we had a decent creative midfield in the Championship, Jerry would have scored plenty more. He’d be £10m with another 5 goals in a team that had stayed up.
He ended up playing wide and often more in a defensive role. We shouldn’t base our asking price on what we managed to get out of him, due to our inept recruitment and manager appointments.
Along with losing a significant chunk of revenue due to relegation, not getting what Jerry is worth is further evidence that we are not running things well, with the bigger picture in mind. There is no point SS saving pennies when he’s throwing away pounds. Be careful yes, but be competitive.
