If I rumours were correct, Stanley earned a similar figure for the Leeds Utd cup tie in January. The only problem was that the transfer window closed almost immediately afterwards, so the money didn’t strengthen the squad for the latter half of the season. The results of which we now live with.
The current transfer window doesn’t close until September 1st, by which time Stanley will have played five games.
So, like what happened with Burgess, a valuable player can get sold when the season has begun and it could be too late to spend the fee on a comparable replacement.
I agree with his Lordship - I’d rather Tommy stays for at least the first half of the season rather than our best players are sold off and, a month into the season, the club is left struggling to pick up free agents or searching for non-league rough diamonds, again.
