This is being reported everywhere it seems other than on here
Crowds of more than double ours will give them more clout. Remember if a club already has players earning double ours they can offer a player a large increase from a club like ours get rid of a high earner and still keep the bank happy because they are cutting their wage bill .I would expect a long list of clubs for Ehmer unfortunately it is unlikely that we will be able to compete.Disappointing but not surprising, Bristol rovers reported debts of 24million recently so they are hardly careful with their finances, probably been handed a far more lucrative deal and with that in mind you couldn’t blame Ehmer for moving on. Hopefully though this is all rumours and he will sign an extension with the Gills.
I know SE has said we're going with a younger squad next season but if (and it is only an IF at the moment) ME leaves, with BF being told he's free to find a new club and Burner not being offered anything yet, I do have a slight worry about where our experience within the squad is going to come from to help the younger ones.
Agree with Mark would rather sell Tucker or Ogilvie and use that money to keep Max.
In Steve Evans we trust
That's a good idea in principle but the fact is that until Tucker or Ogilvie are sold we probably haven't got a pot to piss in.I know SE has said we're going with a younger squad next season but if (and it is only an IF at the moment) ME leaves, with BF being told he's free to find a new club and Burner not being offered anything yet, I do have a slight worry about where our experience within the squad is going to come from to help the younger ones.

Scally has often said it takes about half a million a year to keep the club afloat. That is in a normal year.So yes prices will be deflated but yes I would still expect at least one to be sold .There will always be a demand for quality and remember there fee and wage costs will still be a lot less than many will simply ask in wages over a few years .Tie them to a long contract and there is a possibility of a large profit too especially in Tucker's case.I can't see many decent offers coming in for Tucker or Ogilvie, clubs are short of money, and with so many good players looking for a club on freebies there will be lots who end up disappointed.
