He is worth so much more to us than what that poultry offer is. That's rediculous, the mony that gets spent on unproven players these days and that's it for Chair???? Crazy crazy stuff. Probably like every off season we will have offers and have to consider them for this player, but they need to up there value. He is worth far more to this club on the field than he is in the money that has so far been offered. He has been our team at times and he's got International caps in late stages of big competitions, we should expect good money for him otherwise no way. [Post edited 7 Feb 0:48]

Last week yes, this week no, for the obvious reasons given above. Selling him would put a serious dent in our survival hopes. |  |

Agreed, and if Andersen can stay fit I'm expecting a bit of an onfeild bromance between those two. Illy & Andy.
Was in favour of considering it as the price of strengthening more widely but not now. (Unless it's a fcukload obviously). [Post edited 7 Feb 7:02]

We all understand we have to develop players and sell to survive and it is particularly important at the moment as we are so close to FFP, yet it seems many won’t consider a bid?
With hindsight Willock should have been sold when at his peak, yet had he have been I can only imagine the uproar and how that decision derailed our promotion chances. Every player has his price and if close to 10M comes in Chair needs to go otherwise we may lose him for much less (if in League 1) or he runs his contract down and leaves for free as many have done previously. |  | | |

People saying we shouldn't sell him..,..
Erm, FFP still very much hanging over us.
You don't honestly think that Dozzell and SDM wages allowed us to bring in Andersen and Frey do you? 🤨
Honestly, due to FFP, I think we will cash if we get a decent offer. Still a few players knocking about who are out of contract too. |  |

If a decent offer was made for Chair then of course we'd sell. However, I don't believe the club will have done the 4 new player deals based on selling Chair to fund them. They did those deals having already made financial headroom to do so. To do otherwise would have been irresponsible in the extreme. |  | | |

I think some fans obsess to much about the FPP. Listen we aren’t ever going to be sustainable unless we get to premierleague so let’s not sell our best players just to reduce our losses
I would not be selling chair unless offer is £10m plus and even then only if we have a plan with that money. |  |

£4m? Taking the piss. Double it and loan him back for the rest of the season and we’re just about talking.
Who was the last player we sold for money where you could say we mugged them off a bit or got top dollar? | | | |

Nobody on here knows the exact state of the Finances at the moment, we all know we are running close to FFP but a lot has been done on the Finances over the last couple of months with sponsorship and getting three players off the wage bill.
Lee Hoos is very experienced on the Finance front and he will have been mentoring Nourry when it comes to the finer details of player contracts, I struggle to believe that we will have gambled on complying with FFP by waiting to see if a future transfer may just happen by a club in Turkey actually offering a sum of money that is realistic in today's market.
Palace just paid an initial 18.5 million for Wharton, which could rise to 22 I think not sure, is Chair not as good or is it just that Wharton is younger. No I don't for one minute think we can ask that sort of money for Chair but something closer to 10 must be a realistic figure.
Hopefully we have done the numbers and can keep Illy for the relegation battle, then we have to seriously consider any offers in the Summer. | | | |

Surely the only way we would agree a deal is if we keep him until the end of the season. Otherwise we are simply reducing our chances of staying up, which can't make any financial sense. |  | | |

Absolutely. Think he’s incredibly underrated by much of our fanbase and other clubs if nobody thinks he’s worth the relative pittance we’d have taken for him last summer. Really think he’ll do well at a higher level somewhere.
Guess there’s a slim, slim chance we stay up and buys into Marti enough to stay on at whatever max wage we can offer but he’s at an age where I’m sure he’ll want to test himself. Would be a good buy for a mid-table French team perhaps. I hope he doesn’t go to a promoted team who will just be next year’s Sheffield United. | | | |

Judging on his career since joining them for their record fee, Luke Freeman to Sheffield United might qualify. | | | |

Of course clubs are going to take the piss, it’s been clear for ages that we’re broke. You don’t pay RRP for stuff you’re buying at a bankruptcy auction.
Getting this stuff right takes years: you sell Darnell Furlong for £1.5m, then Like Freeman for £5m, then Eze for £20m, then - once you’ve shown that your players are worth paying for, but that you’re solvent enough to hold out for a decent price for them - you can maybe demand £15m for Ilias Chair / Chris Willock / Rob Dickie.
What you can’t do is derail the process at the first sign of success, cripple yourself financially, let the squad regress to the point of becoming relegation fodder, then act surprised when people come in with pisstake bids in full knowledge that a.) your players are rubbish and b.) you’re in desperate need of cash
Obviously £4m for Chair is absurd, but this is the situation we’ve created for ourselves. | | | |

I can't keep up with this club and forum.!
So are we skint and can't afford players?
Are we a selling club?
Does FFP still apply?
2 weeks ago we were saying we're chucking everything overboard that's not screwed down, we've fked up and we're preparing for L1. Crying about not getting any money for our players and holding on to our assets for too long.
Bid comes in for Chair.
Nope not selling. |  |

If they up the offer to 10 million euros I think he'll be sold. We've signed potential replacements for him in Andersen and Hodge who can both play as a no.10 creative role. Chair may not want to go though as Trabzonspor are way off the Champions league spots although they are in with a chance of Europa league qualification. | | | |
