I have read the sale rumours on LTLF and they do not make any sense.
The rumours, which allegedly emanate from someone at the Club, appear to be based on two facts:
1. Even though we are within touching distance of the PL, the purse strings remained tightly closed.
2. No attempt is being made to offer Lamouchi a new contract.
Well the first part is utter rubbish; as things turned out we ended up being the third highest spenders in the division, and that was with a number of players turning us down.
The second point does not hold much water; Lamouchi has gone on record has saying he is happy to wait until the seasons end before discussing a new deal.
He would be looking at a big loss on his investment should he sell now, and, while the money would be a consideration, I would guess the positive coverage he would get from restoring us to some semblance of our former glories would be an even bigger one.
And lets face it, he does not get much positive coverage.
