We'll be in the same league as them next year, would be pointless.Nottingham Forest, Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City are chasing Blackpool striker Jerry Yates this summer.
According to journalist Pete O'Rourke on twitter.

Tell the vultures to fuck off.Thar's the clubs blueprint, bring in young players, develop them and sell on for profit. Rotherham didn't want him !!
Maybe it used to be but with Simon in charge maybe we can be a bit more protective over our assets?Thar's the clubs blueprint, bring in young players, develop them and sell on for profit. Rotherham didn't want him !!
It didn’t used to be as far as I can remember Nick, we used to let their contract go down and go for nothing or next to nothing. i think the contracts that we offer now protect the assets, but if someone offered big big money for Yates he’d be on his way, if it was right for us too. i think that’s the point Les is making.Maybe it used to be but with Simon in charge maybe we can be a bit more protective over our assets?
No, i'm sure that was Simon Sadler's blueprint when he came in. Not slagging it, think it's what most clubs out of the Prem do. Think how many Posh have brought in from non league and sold on for massive profit.Maybe it used to be but with Simon in charge maybe we can be a bit more protective over our assets?
I agree but instead of having an owner who would simply cash in we have an owner who will say not enough.No, i'm sure that was Simon Sadler's blueprint when he came in.

We are if he can guarantee us 4 points. LolAre The Nobbers still after CJ Hamilton.
On long contract and no need to sell our best playerThey can all f--- off.
Jerry is not quite there yet but I take your point pal. Potentially a minimum of £1.8m profit, excluding salary and other previous overheads, on a good player seems like sound business to me. £4/5m even better. Just speculation anyway. What will be will be£2m is nothing these days, especially for strikers who get 20 goals plus a season.
We got £1.75M for Brett in League 1 nearly 20 years ago!! £2M?? I hope they tell em to shove it£2m is nothing these days, especially for strikers who get 20 goals plus a season.
That is a VERY good point.We got £1.75M for Brett in League 1 nearly 20 years ago!! £2M?? I hope they tell em to shove it
Because they got £10 million for Ivan ToneyI would put his price £2-£3 million, no way accept less. Price him out of the market a little.
If you ever watched the Sunderland documentary when WIll Grigg was being bought, that springs to mind.
Peterborough paid over a £1.25 for Clarke Harris.
I suspect "fowl" play.The Venkys don't have enough chickens to buy his left leg!
Anything ranging between £2million and £5million plus ‘add ons’ would represent a good price for Jerry. Comparing transfers from 20 years ago with transfers in today’s market is a slightly unbalanced statement, which doesn’t consider the financial impact of Covid19. The current global economic situation we unfortunately find ourselves in, has massively affected the money clubs can spend on new players. Look at what’s happening at Anfield. A couple of years ago they were able to spend £75m on a world class defender whereas this year they have had to settle for ‘bargain basement’ players. Davies from the nobbers and a ‘try before you buy’ lad from bottom of the league german club Schalke. Different times. Only a few Championship clubs would be able to pay £5m - 10m on a single player until the money starts flowing back in, when fans return.We got £1.75M for Brett in League 1 nearly 20 years ago!! £2M??

I have no problem with us being a selling club, probably essential if we are ever to be a sustainable top division club. The legacy of Capperos at Seville which gives them about the best global recruitment resulting in approx an average of £10m surpluses per year. They have to sell to succeed.No, i'm sure that was Simon Sadler's blueprint when he came in. Not slagging it, think it's what most clubs out of the Prem do.

Even more so then this is the worst possible time to be selling anyone I hope we can keep hold and strengthen as this is evidently, and I agree with you, a buyers market.Anything ranging between £2million and £5million plus ‘add ons’ would represent a good price for Jerry.

I hope Jerry stays for many years and becomes a bona fide legend for us. If not and he decides to leave, although why would want to, then I hope we get a good for him price that reflects the current market.
Below is link to the Championship teams’ spend on players pre and post Covid19. Of course it’s all just speculation about Jerry at moment but food for thought.

If there was a Utopia FC, you'd buy a player for 100k, sell for £1m. Buy 3 players for 250k and sell, maybe 1 for £2m etc etc. The excess 250k would be the owners return.I have no problem with us being a selling club, probably essential if we are ever to be a sustainable top division club.

Rovers on a transfer embargo.Can't see Yates going to t'Rovers in their current situation.
Better off here anyway.
