Well it’s a good job that we’ve just sold one of our players for 50 million then, and have a shed load of reserves to sell as well.

But I suspect people will continue to panic regardless, people will be saying “just to keep the lights on” soon enough.
Kerian Maguire has said we will be fine for now and a few local journalists have said the same, business as usual. But sadly some fans are always a glass have empty and think the worst, like administration,
Selling the ground, selling every player.
It’s draining reading the same negative [Poor language removed]
 

United are rapidly becoming the Glenn Close of the PL. The Bunny Boiler looks really is quite pathetic for what they used to be.
 
No we don’t need the money. That was easy.

Jim Ratcliffe is a knob who seems to be drip feeding certain nonsense, and you have a fanbase who don't really understand finance. Without being overly politically this is the same Jim Ratcliffe who also told us Brexit would be some huge success, supported it, took no accountability when it was a disaster and then moved abroad to let everyone else suffer the consequences. So read into the credibility of the guy what you wish from that.

Anyway, even if the TFG deal doesn't re-emerge the club have had a huge influx of liquidity. 200m by some suggestions, potentially more when you factor in MSP/Bell & Downing paid off. This was due monies, at a higher % rate that is now not imminently. They have also paid off Laing (which was the biggest drain over the last 12 months). They were the big risk factors, as MSP could have triggered admin (it would have been stupid for them to do so, but they could have) and Laing could penalise the club if a payment was missed. That is no longer the case.

We have also sold Dobbin, Godfrey and Onana for the best part of 70m, much of that will be up front. You then have a load of cash coming in August from the TV rights. We may also see sales of Beto, DCL, Mykolenko. So further cash coming in, taking income well over 100m from transfers..

Everton do not need to sell Brainthwaite, and are in a much stronger position than 2 months ago, when a predicted fire sale was coming and inevitably never happened. If a club is that desperate for money, they are not making multi-million pounds purchases.

Reminiscent of all of our last few games being televised in anticipation of an historic relegation that never came.

Long may we continue to disappoint the vultures.

Yes true.

Or the narrative that we were in a relegation dogfight, which was only the case due to them stealing points from us. We had acquired enough points for survival in December.

Why are we selling Mykolenko? First I've heard of.
 

I’m sure his agent would try to make sure there’s a sensible(in crazy football terms) release clause involved in any potential new contract.
 
If true. its the sort of thing i hate. He still has 3 years on current deal after signing a new one less than a year ago. We dont need to offer a new deal just yet, when all we have to do, is do what we have supposedly already done and say hes not for sale etc.
I see where you're coming from but his most recent contract was signed on the back of a successful loan spell. He's now on the back of an unbelievable season in the Premier League and as a key player in the squad that couldn't be replaced. We know if he leaves, our defence, regardless of who comes in, will be hugely inferior afterwards.

Extend a new contract to him until 2029, £100m release clause.

I disagree. Totally hypocritical of the club to place a valuation of , let's say £70 million on the player , expect him to be focused on Everton despite the advances of United and only pay him what a £5 million player would expect to be on.

Giving him an improved contract with a high release clause is exactly how the lad should be rewarded for his incredible improvement and talent.
