Player Valuation: £50m
The problem is that if everyone knows we're on the brink of administration, no one offers fair market value on any of our assets. An interested club would offer us five million for the pair, and drag their feet on the negotiation hoping to get the pair for 7.5 million once we have no other choice but to sell. They would also lowball the players on wages if it turned out the contracts had relegation clauses, because administration always sends us down.Keane Godfrey and Holgate bring us in around 30m would rather do that and promote a young CB to the first team squad
Your second post is probably a better reflection of what we might get for them in a situation that was not a fire sale.
