Very pleased the board stayed strong and didn't sell Lookman esp to Palace!
4.5 million isn't a bad offer but do think he is worth more. Nor is 2 million for Fox.
Like many fans I have been very critically of the board so I think it's only fair to applaude them when a good decision is made!

COYR!
Just think Jordan Cousins.
So no credit due from me. I have a longer memory than 6 weeks.
As for selling and fees offered, take them with a pinch of salt. KM has stated in the past the club does not make these public. So its pure speculation or agent talk.
If there was serious offers with money on the table the above players would be ex-players.
Katrien Meire is a moron, end of story. And holding on to a promising young player following rumoured bids of "just" £4.5m does NOT deserve praise in a market where Championship players some people have barely heard of are going for £10m+.
Fuck 'em.
The summer was a shit show. All starting with that tart going on holiday before the season finished. Then the players being sent away without any diet/fitness plan. The fire sale, and even now if we look at the centre of midfield we are still short. It makes you look at what Slade has done since he came in and it's nothing short of impressive.
Whilst I appreciate they could have accepted the first offer that was made, keeping a player (Lookman) is not necessarily the same as refusing to sell. And we have all seen multiple examples of the current board's pathetic attempts to appease fans previously, this is probably just another one before he's sold in January.
Applauding the board for 'not selling' one player is forgetting the sales of Yann, Morrison, Cousins, Henderson, Gomez, THD etc etc. Not to mention the sacking of Powell.
Rejecting a £20m offer for Lookman wouldn't appease me... We wouldn't be in this almighty mess in the first place if it wasn't for poisonous Katrien and her rodent boss, we wouldn't be in League 1, and we therefore wouldn't feel pressured to sell our best players in the first place.
Get out of our club.
Why do they deserve credit for that?
Still, its a big improvement on previous policy, I just wish it didnt take a relegation to get there.
If we end up winning the league by a mile a lot of people could warm to RD, but for some they will never change their opinion even if we end up back in the prem under him.
As stated above, these are the f***wits who sold Cousins and Gudmundsson for a total of £4m. You can see how ridiculous this is by the fees changing hands yesterday.
And be in no doubt if the offer for Lookman had suited them he would be gone this morning.
Get lost Douchbag and Squirrel Face.
and if they knew there was interest in fox which there has been over the last season or so I would of let him go, knowing that the price for fox would of been a lot more. instead they sell thd and bring in the chicken guy who we know nothing about as replacement for one of our youngsters. I don't know if thd would become better than fox but for me fox has not improved for a while and still makes mistakes every game.
personally I wouldn't of sold either of them but 2 million would of been much harder to ignore than say 200 thousand.
If there was £4 on the table let alone £4m this mob would not hesitate to remove him from the payroll.
