Agreed. If it were Brighton or Huddersfield in for him the price would probably be lower. The price of a player is determined by what he buyer can afford. The starting price for any player City or United try to sign will be £40M, us probably around £30M.

I guess the size of the club buying a player is in some way a gauge of their quality. If they prove they are better than a brighton then the fee will go up if a club like us or UTD wants to sign them. Kind of a natural price set even if it's a bit hit and miss.

Line 7 of the last section (7. To be clear, to meet FFP we need to player trade. No shareholding sale of any size will contribute to meeting FFP. We must reduce costs and increase revenue) pretty much screams "We need to sell Jack Grealish. Sorry!"

The part that also interested me was even if he does sell part of the club that money wont help them with ffp. So they need to sell players no matter what.

Here's one of them trying to make himself feel better:
Erm, Tottingham will be selling one of their own quite soon - yer know that chap at the world cup about to win the golden boot? He will be sold, he will not stay. As gutted as I am about Grealish, even if you're in the top 4 of the prem you lose your best players. We move forwards without Jack but also thanks to his fee.
Star City for the day would have been fine!

Could be they have some sponsorship paying for it. Could be they were contractually obligated to do so already. Could be a PR move to try and avoid appearing so bankrupt. Could be part of the reason they are in the mess they are is they are not particularly good at managing their finances and avoiding costly unnecessary expenditures with little benefit in the first place. Could be they are actually swimming in cash and all the press and itks on here are lying.

Nice to have something from the manager to back up this groundhog discussion.
I'm not quite as passionate about this preseason thing this year solely due to the World Cup factor...time will tell if the lessons have finally been learned.
Do think it's more important for imports to bed in as early as possible, especially if there are language problems.

Will take years to get rid of the brummy accent.
