Agreed, whoever the manager is is up against it until the embargo (or whatever it should be called ) is lifted. Any money we receive for any transfers (of either tucker or dempsey) would almost certainly be used to help remove that embargo. The question si what hampers the manager whoever he is more, the embargo or losing two of your more valuable assets.
If we have any ambition to stay up this season we need to keep both, but even better still would be to find the investment or money from other means to get the embargo lifted and keep your best players. Will that happen though, highly unlikely IMO.
