    honestly, I don’t see that we’ll be getting anyone even comparable to Ramsdale as backup, thus i’m fine with keeping him, even if the market value drops cuz of it. Reiss though we’ll see.

      I guess on Ramsdale, the question is: what do you think we’ll get for him this summer vs next summer (with 1 season left on contract)? If we could get anything more than 15M, I think we have to recoup our losses. The fact that we’re kind of at our limit for income generated (and that we’re not a multi-club model or owned by a petrostate or both) means that we have to sell when there’s a chance.

        eh, i guess you’re right. I’m just sick of what feels like Wenger-era vibes over finances, and getting mocked for it, while others win trophies by breaking the rules.

          Yeah, I feel you. It sucks taking the high road and getting punished for it. I still remember how aghast everyone was that we wouldn’t give the ball back to the other team when they faked injury, and how vindictively happy I was that we were dishing it out.

          My dream scenario is that we win the league this season, City is found guilty of at least some of their charges, and we’ll have won “the right way”, in contrast to their fuckery.
