At best £10 million profit, which is a drop in the ocean to the up to £150 million investment, in mostly players now worth less than the liabilities we have for the next 3/4 years.
Might be best to look at that entire period when judging Ashton.
There’s a reason we are for sale and the owners have had enough.
Clue. It’s not because we did brilliant, but great value from the over £100 million invested, and are progressing.
I know you only listed to trigger people…, but the impacts of that summer have consequences.
No staff, our best players gone, and inertia with the ownership …, is just the beginning. |  | | |

As many have pointed out, that’ll only leave us around £13m profit. Ensuring a return to the PL would be worth a lot more than £13m so honestly we’d be better off holding on to him and maximising that chance. |
Or you achieve both - cash in on Omari AND return to the PL next season. Whilst building a stronger, deeper squad with the development of the next Hutch, Delap, etc | | | |

good business but not brilliant. once the add-ons and sell-ons taken into account it's a healthy rather than tremendous profit.
Mbuemo £5.8m -> £65m - that's brilliant business. |  |

As most have stated we will bring in about 70m from delap and omari with that the club could buy a min of 4 players over 15m each that is good for the club its how other team grow their teams. | | | |

It will be roughly level with the second highest Championship transfer ever.
I think given where we were a few years back that's excellent progress. Comparing to Brentford isn't really a fair comparison at this stage.

Wasn't a comparison in what terms of what we should done, it was just an example of brilliant business. Still good business though, £22.5m was a relatively high price so to get £36m, also a high price, is still good going. [Post edited 19 Jul 12:40]

You can't compare a PL transfer with a Championship transfer. If Hutch goes for £40M it will be one of the highest Championship fees ever.
When we're established in the PL like Brentford, we can expect to see similar returns - we're years behind where they are.

If someone offered us £13m "profit" ( after covering initial outlay costs, and Chelsea's 25% cut , for doing nothing) for one of the clubs best, most influential attacking young players, would people consider thst thdn such a good deal?
We have now lost arguably our two.best young attackers for a combined " profit" of of something in the region of, £ 21m
( because football is clearly all about the money these days isn't it), making us considerably less of a potential force as it stands for when we start the season in 3 was time. Are we still all expect a strong challenge on automatic promotion now?
And for those that accuse me of being negative, Id suggest I'm just writing the actual hard facts of the situation as it curre try stands. Are we going to get two equally good attackers for that "profit"? I doubt it.
The football side of the game almost pales into insigficance these days, as " profit" appears to be the first and last thing on the agenda.
So instead of slamming me with the usual vitriol, childish down votes and personal attacks, by some on here, how about an adult discussion about things, please? |
If they were "our" young players, and had come through the ITFC youth system, and we ended up with £13 million for the pair (not sure where you get that figure from, but still) then I would be desperately unhappy.
In contrast, we have plucked two youngsters from two of the richest clubs in world football, had the benefit of one of them playing a huge part in gaining promotion, had the other scoring the goals that enabled us to get some wins against Premier League opposition, and then made a decent chunk of cash on both.
We nicked them. Somebody else nicked them from us. We benefited along the way and at the end. No tears- that's football in 2025. | | | |

Or keep hold of him and strengthen our position for promotion and then sell him next season when we’re back in the PL and he’s worth £80m. | | | |

We'll probably never know, but the probability of Hutch being worth £80M this time next year is negligible. Once he's proven himself in the PL for a couple of years, maybe, but very, very unlikely on the back of even a successful year in the Championship. | | | |

You simply don’t understand how things work.
The likes of Delap and hutch would not sign for us if they didn’t have release clauses and relegation clauses in their contracts. They wouldn’t come. It’s that simple.
And I’m afraid profit is now very important due to the financial regulations football is now subject to.
