The vultures are circling for Jerry at 2m???

£2m f*** right off! I know JY only has a year left on his contract and we will be a L1 club but we still hold all the cards, unless there is a minimum release clause in the contract (which I don’t believe there is) BFC will only sell if an offer matches our valuation.
There are other factors to take into consideration other than the club holding out for £X or refusing to sell at all, we are not in a financial position to run down his contract and leave for nothing and the players wishes need to be taken into consideration, it would be wrong to force Jerry to stay and play in L1 at this point of his career if he didn’t want to and who wants an unhappy player in the dressing room!
I think that Jerry will unfortunately be sold this summer, there will rightly be a lot of interest and he will go for more than what is being quoted by Rangers who want him on the cheap and will be blown out the water by financially bigger clubs in the Championship or possibly lower end Prem.
 
"Rangers reported to be unwilling to part with much more than 2m"....then....."Understandably so".

I closed the site as soon as I read the Understandably so bollocks.

If clubs were asking for circa 1.5m for average L1 midfielders, then Jerry is worth far more than 2m.

I get it that 5m is unlikely because another season has gone since that valuation, and we've only got a 1+1 remaining. But a proven 20 plus goalscorer in L1, and 13 in a struggling championship team? £2m , that's a joke

Far more than 2m , but I'd rather keep him.

There is a 12 month option, so effectively two years left on his contract.
 
That first season under Critch when we bought the likes of Yates, Kesh, Marv all from lower leagues was the model we need to stick to along with the gambles from Prem academy’s.

We’ve then got to be prepared to sell them on at the right price. Burnley spent £4m+ on Twine from a Div 1 team with no proven Championship track record. Jerry has a proven record in a poor team and also boast’s unrivalled work rate.

You’d have to accept or even expect £4m too for him.

Take that money and go and bully Div 2 and 1 teams for their gems. £500-750k would be a fee that no Div 2 club could reject for any of their players.
 
Get ready for Jerry to be sold for peanuts at the end of the season 👍🏻
Can't wait for the rebuild. 🤣

Best chance to get promoted back to the Championship (sorry I accept we will be relegated) will be with Jerry leading the line, now much is that worth, suggest it’s far more than 2 million. So simple keep him unless we get offered silly money.

Given the difference in TV money (not to mention ticket sales) is 6M we need to think hard about severely weakening ourselves before accepting anything but a grossly inflated figure for him.
 
I'd hold out for £4m minimum, doesnt matter if we'll be in league one.Hes still scored 13goals in the Championship. Hopefully the new gaffer would be able to spend the money aswell
 
£2m is just an insulting valuation for a proven Championship striker like Jerry, I don't want to sell him as we will need him to get out of League One, but if we do it has to be for £4m minimum.

Rangers always make silly offers
 
I'd absolutely keep him if we can, however if we get an offer somewhere round the £4-6m mark I think the club would sensibly have to consider selling. He's worth that money easily, and I don't think we could begrudge Jerry the chance to keep playing in the Championship or similar level if it was on the table (assuming we drop of course!).

But we don't reinvest.

Critchley money.

Bowler money.

May as well keep him and let him go on a free I that's the case!

If we had reinvested even half of the Bowler money, brought in two £1 million players for example, this season could have been very different. We could have avoided the drop and saved a lot of money there. Plus, if we bought well they could have gone up in value a lot! It's all very odd.

I guess the problem was we didn’t sell him until the last day. Maybe they weren’t sure he’d be sold so couldn’t commit to making bids

We bought dom Thompson and that attacking mid that we already sold that I can't even remember the name of. Andy lyons as well for 300k. And everyone else is either a loan or a free transfer.

paid nominal fees for dev/youth team players that all seem a million miles away from the first team.

Whatever they've reinvested certainly wasn't reinvested well.

Why worry it's not our money. Let's accept league 1 and enjoy. We where never going in the prem. Rather be a good league 1 team than a very poor championship team. .

I don't think there is any chance of getting some of the valuations mentioned in this thread tbh.

If that's the case, reject all offers that do not meet our valuation.

Whilst he is under contract, the deal has to be right for us.

I'm sure Jerry would understand that too.
 
Not really sure why people think Jerry is worth more than 2m. That is quite a significant figure for what will be a League One striker. Ideally we keep him though as you need a goalscorer to have any chance of being near the top.

Scott Twine went from Div 1 to Burnley for over £4m with no experience in the Championship.

Jerry has two seasons under his belt at this level and scored consistently in a team that hasn’t created many chances. So that’s your yardstick

Because I support this club and poor decisions lead to relegation? I would also prefer to be in the Championship. More money, mid week away games on Sky, better players etc.
 
he's been messed about by our nincompoop managers, and he wont want to drop down to league one, and there will be teams after him willing to pay a couple of million and wages far better than what we can offer. Maybe his wages will be reduced after relegation, which is likely to mean adios my son. So it all depends on Jerry and his current contract - does he love it here or not, and is he prepared to go back to bagging goals against Port Vale rather than PNE if we keep his wages where they are? I dont see how he stays to be honest but hope I'm wrong.
 
We shouldn't be even entertaining any value of less than £4m for Jerry, it should just be a flat refusal. Promotion from league one is worth more than that and he'll be pivotal next season if we're to achieve it.
The only way we're going to shake off how we're perceived by other clubs is to start behaving like a club with ambition, and like other clubs do with their players when they get much greater fees for them. I see this perception as a hangover from the Oyston days when they sold players like Wes for peanuts because of their contracts. It'll take time to rid ourselves of it, and we're only going to do it by refusing derisory offers on a regular basis, even if it means not selling at all.

It'll be the usual, its a big club we cant hold him back excuse whilst the money makes the balance sheet look better. Bowler all over again.

It's really short sighted though - every player we sell cheaply make's it more difficult to get value for future players we help develop. We get long term gain from removing the perception that bargains can be had from raiding BFC.
 
You wouldn't have read any of the above this time last season, even though the rot had already set in. A few lone voices a year ago, funny how many are now seeing the problems that there are even if there are still plenty who won't acknowledge anything is wrong, in fact 'everything is fine'. It really isn't but Jerry going is kind of inevitable, I think we will be surprised just how threadbare our squad will be come the end of June.

Sadler is going to have to perform a miracle to turn this around, I just hop he is fuming at what has happened this season as he has been let down massively by those who were employed to establish us in the Championship. The board, recruitment analysts, managers and of course himself, because he has taken his eyes off what was happening. He pretty much has to start all over again, like he did when he bought the club. The difference now is that the feel good factor has well and truly gone and he needs to restructure everything. Hopeful? Confident? Not at all but I hope he sorts it out somehow.

And therein lies the problem. The 'Blackpool Way' pfft!
 
£4m would buy 4 or 5 of the best players in Div 2 or middle / bottom of Div 1

That’s exactly how it should play out for us. Wages need to be reassessed now we are a Div lower, which again is why we should be raiding those divisions as we can greatly increase the players wage and it’s still less than some of the salaries we are paying now due to being Championship
