Didn't realise they had an option.
Thats absolute pittance for Nkounkou.

….so losing circa £13m on Nkounkou is on Thelwell‘s watch?
if so, more gross incompetence.
….apparently it was £1.7m buy-out clause & they have offers to sell for £15m. £13m down the pan, pretty much what he spunked on Maupay.
I said the man is incompetent, it’s nothing to add sell-on clauses & time restrictions for selling on. I honestly don’t think Thelwell knows footballers, he says he’s a Line Manager which suggests to me he can’t be trusted to make final decisions based on his own opinion.
Baffled as to why you'd include such a low option to buy. 1.7m is so low you may as well retain the option to negotiate elsewhere.
Unless they paid a fortune for the loan which I doubt.
Can only hope we have a very significant % on fee.
…I actually wouldn’t be surprised if we covered most of his wage. If the details are correct it’s a massive gaff.
Surely he has to be accountable.

and paid for the EasyJet flight out.
I suspect they didnt think he would do much.
And lets be honest, he hasnt yet, Ligue 2 isnt great.
Can you ban everybody who mentions Kante tho please.

We don’t know there is no sell on clause?
….but you surely protect yourself by default including a sell-on clause. Hopefully it’s in there to at least recover some losses.

Good business by the DOF when the last one was losing players on freebies left, right and centre.

Nkounkou is quality. Crazy that he’s gone
…..so it would’ve been good business to sell John Sones for £5m. Let’s get rid of Gordon for £1m because he cost nothing, maybe Rooney for £2.
You can’t defend the indefensible unless you live life with blinkers on. If administrators within our club make mistakes we should all highlight them. even if we worship the ground they walk on.
