I'm sure they may well do if they have to,

What he is worth is irrelevant.
He told his Archant press office that the ?20m was it.

Therefore maybe we are looking for better options first?

I dunno.
It is very very tough this as no one knows exactly what went on initially, or what has gone on since.
Technically we don't really need the cash till Jan, the club is running fine as it is.
THe greatest need is to deliver some to GR to use in the transfer window.
So from that point of view the club has got a little bit of breathing space in which to find some options.

If Cullums offer leaves us in essentially the same position (BIG if, I don't know) then is there any point going through the massive upheaval for precious little gain?
IF (again an IF i know) he made it clear his ?20m was all he planned to put in, I don't blame the board for being reluctant, especially as they know he'll have to spend the majority of that on repaying debt.
