£10m + CCV would be perfect for both clubs, surely? We give them cash that they need plus a ready made replacement who would take no time to settle.
Whether they want CCV or not, I reckon this will get done.

Clubs could fold by Christmas - Ridsdale
Half a dozen Championship clubs could fold by Christmas unless they get extra funding, says Preston advisor Peter Ridsdale.www.bbc.co.uk
I'm not saying that Swansea could be one of those clubs, but it clearly shows that Championship clubs are financially hurting currently.
I would imagine that Levy thinks he can sit tight and pick up some bargains over the next 3 to 6 months.
He's already got form for doing this (Grealish, etc). Plus ITK and the media have always said that if Levy thinks there is value in a transfer, then he'll find the cash to do the deal.
So he'll sit back and wait until Swansea are begging for the 9m plus add ons.
In the present economic situation, he must be licking his lips; all his Christmases have come at once!!
I have difficulty having sympathy for championship clubs when the majority of them pay their players so much and each have over 100% wages to turnover That’s just not sustainable in any business. If it makes them ripe to have their best players cherry picked from them then tough shit it’s their own fault.

It is a tough call as the competition drives the prices up. Sure you can manage it better and pay less wages but then don't expect to have a squad that is challenging for anything in the league as the quality players will obviously go where they are paid more and they just don't care much how well and healthy the club is run.

To be fair, Spurs have had that problem in the past and instead of paying crazy wages, decided to invest in other areas of the club. Overtime they built the infrastructure, made some canny player purchases and sales, and ultimately managed to become a major club in European football.
So Championship clubs need the same approach and realise it's not going to happen overnight; it's a 20 year project.

They are far more at risk though. We were always good enough and probably still investing more than some others to make sure we won't get relegated. The championship is more of a free for all where you are quicker in a relegation battle that you can think.
And how hard is to get up again (while trying to save money) is showed by several clubs who are lost in League 1 or lower.
Not an easy call.

But every club will find where their 'comfort zone' is; which league they can easily exist in.
If a club finds themselves struggling in the Championship then it may be that they're not really big enough, so to speak, to be in the Championship.
Sport is a meritocracy, afterall, where everyone finds their level. Incidentally, it's one reason why I don't think there should be an independent regulator governing football.
Sport should be dog eat dog, in my opinion. That's what makes it fun to watch.

I believe we got itk that the Skrinier deal didn't happen because they were unable to secure a replacement in time?

Would Brentford be a good example?
