We all know Stanley have the lowest operating budget in the EFL.
On our gates we can't afford to match some of the players wages available, even including the Conference, or offer long contracts.
That doesn't mean we should sell the family silver on the cheap.
Pearson would be an asset to any Championship side.
If Barnsley are serious, they should expect to pay a fee commensurate with their Championship status, not expect to get a quality player on the cheap.
Is 500k the going rate for a Championship defender?
