I'll pay for Dessers' taxi to the airport, if that helps?

Fee for Dessers on the low side - €4.8M rising to €5.3M depending on clauses being met. Would rather have seen Danilo sold (but who's gonna buy him) but it is what it is. Hopefully opens the door for a replacement to be signed.

Al Ahly and Miami play out a goalless draw to get the tournament underway. @compo and @Gribz pick up points for the Correct Result. @onevision goes big with an early JOKER play and gets... nul points. Current Standings:

We're not in the position to let £11 million or £12 million assets to run down their contracts for nothing. Yes, we've more chance to reach the CL with him, but that's all it is. A chance. We can't "speculate". We can't gamble. We've done that before recently and under Murray and it caused issues. We can't take the view that because we may make a profit on some players, we can afford to let others walk away for nothing. We made a £17m loss in 2024. In 2023, we were in the CL, made a profit of £23m in player sales and still made a loss. We need to be run on a sound financial footing.

Both Luke Littler and Luke Humphries got MBE's. They were being hyped up as the dream team going into this weekends World Cup of Darts as unbeatable. Yet they fell at the first hurdle to Germany last night.

25 million goes back to my original post that it would equate to being silly money (in SPFL term) so could be sold, but if offers were circa 11m or 12m Id rather keep him - as the old term goes speculate to accumulate (especially if others are sold for profit). We've more chance reaching the CL with Raskin in the team. It would be unrealistic to get a replacement in on the cheap and hit the ground running.
