Quote ="Dettoriman"I can understand how this has made its way on here, To show that Cas have "Financial Problems".
Every club has Cashflow problems, Do we have a spare £100'000 cash in the bank to put Full Planning Permission in, Maybe not? Do you ? No. And neither would most clubs.
Joe Westerman had already told everyone, Including the club he would reject any deal on the table next year, Despite the club been prepared to make him the highest paid player, And that he wanted to move on.
Last year we rejected a 6 figure sum for Shenton, He had a mediocre season and left on a free. One big balls up.
This time round we were smarter, We have secured £175k and, His wage was nearing 100k too.
We can use 100k towards the PP, And still have plenty of cash besides, And 100k is a big budget to get a Loose Forward.
Smart business by us, Regardless of how good Joe becomes, This could still be a very smart move by Hull and Joe too, But time will tell
Dont any of you say, That if a big club came in with a 6 figure sum for Dale Ferguson, You would say no, As you wouldnt.
Hopefully, We can push our stadium through, And you can push yours through and we can give the RFL a real headache.'"
You can't seriously tell me that you believe that youv'e sold him to pay for Full planning permission can you? Dickie Wright claim's to have funding in place (at least £13 Million) but he can't raise 100K for full planning permission! We are talking less than one percent of the total cost of the stadium here. Considering the importance of moving the project along I would find it hard to believe that you would ring fence your Ground money and then leave yourself short of money to put FPP in. Good old Dickie certainly has you on his string!
The reality it that you are no longer a top SL club, your no different to us, your a selling club. You need to sell to pay for the day to day running of your business. You simply don't have the income stream to hold onto your top players. Sherwin, Shenton and Westerman have all gone and not replaced with similar high earners. Sell or die that's a fact of been a SL struggler and without a sugar daddy that's the way it will always be...FACT! Please don't try and make out your something your not!
