Hell of a job for Webber and co if we sell emi and Aarons ...

Think he’s be quite excited at the challenge though armed with a large war chest.

Are there any other examples of promoted clubs selling several of their best players on promotion ?

    - Agreed. The gap to the top clubs is bigger now (NCFC) - mr carra, May 24, 12:04:17
      - And in terms of funding, we're basically a Championship club (NCFC) - jamesward, May 24, 12:19:24
- Be sad to see both go but in a strange way might make us roll the dice (NCFC) - littletinyphil, May 24, 11:43:51
  - hope its another emi and not amother marley watkins (n/m) (NCFC) - pab, May 24, 12:49:54
- I can't think of any. This is where the limitations of our model bite (NCFC) - Jim, May 24, 11:27:49
  - Seems to be the price we paid for having them an extra year (NCFC) - CWC, May 24, 12:00:58
    - I think that's partly why this is such a rare situation (NCFC) - mr carra, May 24, 12:34:07
  - Guess specifically with the two I’ve mentioned ... (NCFC) - loz, May 24, 11:38:23
    - I think we would change how we play a bit. I suppose the Forest game offers hope (NCFC) - Jim, May 24, 12:06:36
  - Well Watford are open to selling Sarr (for 40M) and Toney has been linked with about every (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, May 24, 11:36:38
    - Not having a dig, just stating a fact. The price of our model/ownership situation is that (NCFC) - Jim, May 24, 12:10:11
      - But... (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, May 24, 13:03:00
        
        It's not anything to do with our 'model' (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, May 24, 13:48:09
        
        Our model is in place to enable our owners to retain ownership of the club. You cannot (NCFC) - Jim, May 24, 14:51:46
        
        Whether you like it or not, Leeds and Villa are significantly bigger clubs than us (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, May 24, 16:32:34
        
        We haven't actually sold any of these players yet Jim (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, May 24, 15:25:45
        
        Rather sell good players at good prices than not being able to sell mediocre players (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, May 24, 15:41:05
        
        Exactly (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, May 24, 14:16:01
    - Pretty sure Watford have said they are keeping sarr (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 24, 11:43:26
      - You generally don't say you're looking to lose them though (NCFC) - mr carra, May 24, 12:35:31
      - The source is the Athletic, which puts it on the same footing as the Emi story (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, May 24, 12:33:59
        
        Pretty sure they’re on record saying he stays post promotion (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 24, 12:54:57
    - Don’t think he’s having a dig (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 24, 11:42:18
- Ever feel like it's going to be the same thing posted multiple different t ways? (n/m) (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, May 24, 11:24:22
