SL has gone on record saying that he will not be sold to a Championship club.

Arent Villa in our league!!!!

So what , get over it. If they wanna pay £15m for him then we'd be stupid not to let him go for that regardless of what league they're in

I started this thread with a throwaway rumour.

It then became a realisation of an unwanted, inevitable scenario.

Now it's a celebration of a fantastic piece of business.

To get 15m for a player that still needs to improve, who is away at ACON at a crucial time of the season... well, take the huge profit and move on!

Who cares when it's this much money, that's a fantastic deal for him.

The point @Portland Bill is making is a simple one; don't say you won't sell to a C'ship club when you obviously would if the price is right...

Just think how many ' Stern Johns ' we could buy with that money .

Think it was more to do with upping the price. Anything under 10 million would not have seen him move to a rival Division team.

No. He categorically stated he would not sell to a rival in the same division. He did say 10 million plus to the premiership. 

 

Can't deny it is good money... But if he goes there it is another in a long list of of 180 statements by Steve. More thought before mouth opening.

 

If you want to hear what he said it is available to here and was repeated twice on Radio Bristol by GT

Or maybe it was the plan all along? Saying we won't sell to a champ club , knowing a prem team may not go in for him , just to up the price? At the start of the window he was being linked away for under £10m , now look at it

I can see that, people get too hung up about that sort of thing. If SL had stuck rigidly to that we might not have ended up selling him at all and have been burdened with an unhappy player until Jan earliest.

What SL said is the mindset of the old Bristol City. Principled, but naive and not very effective in the transfer market.

You know what, as a businessman faced with a golden egg he has every right to change his mind.  He'd be cutting his nose of to spite this face if he let this go.

If by opening his mouth he's added , 5 million, that's 5 million , to the selling price then I'm not going to knock him for it .

He may have said to Villa ' I promised not to sell to another club in the same league and could only accept the flak if it's 15 million. '
