Were planning for a £16m profit last season. Lost most of that due to Covid but

have sold Lewis for £15m so selling Aarons (or any one of the others provided you get £15m plus) would cover any losses this season. In fact, probably wouldn;t need to do it till jan at which case you could take a view on how the season is going.

        Surely the point is that Covid has changed everything somewhat? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 1, 09:36:39
        
        Yes its changed things by about £15m (this season) if we can't get fans in at all. (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 1, 09:56:57
        
        To be fair we've always said we'd sell if the price is right. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 1, 10:03:09
        
        Who is saying £15m? Have the club? I genuinely don't know. (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Oct 1, 09:59:20

        I'm assuming thats in the loss they had already allowed for (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 1, 10:10:49
        
        Agreed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Oct 1, 10:10:16
