I know that they have financial problems, but Leicester have just sold Abdul Fatawu to Ipswich Town for £20m.

Doesn't matter about touching the sides.
What matters is there 60%
They've already sold out of 23,000 + season tickets
Thats nearly 6 times more than us

And their losses in the last financial year are 14 times more than us.

"The club showed a pre-tax loss of £71 million for the period, an increase of more than 266% from the £19 million loss recorded the previous year."

Which is the the entire point of this thread.

Bristol Rovers are determined to hold firm after receiving a six-figure bid for Shaq Forde...

An unnamed League One side have seen an offer for the former Watford youngster rejected ❌

Sell on clause effectively costs them nothing so hope this is BC caving and giving the O’s the sell on we wanted. If true, good luck Dom!

Feel sorry for the lad if only Bristol City are interested in him and he ends up going there.

Interesting to see who out of him and Tolaj are their first choice.

Of course.

But he still should have held out for a better and bigger club, and a better situation. One of him and Tolaj will be a success, the other won't.

Hmmm days before the season starts (carabao cup)

Or 2 weeks before season starts (league)

Would Wareham be a good signing? And a couple others of course
