Forget sell on clause with Archie and Brentford.
Let's make it a buy-back clause when they come down next season and we go up:)

Would AG agree to it?

Brentford are the real winners in this deal! In 3 years Archie Gray will be worth at least 80 million. Got a feeling that Brentford will be Hijacked before this is over.

Yep don't think he is Brentford bound.

All well and good saying on 3 years this or that, Berm, when the reality is the club needed to fulfil PSR obligations and he was the only high profile player we received an actual offer for before June 30. If we had been promoted then that would have eaeed the need to sell off star assets, but we didn't and so it hasn't. Doesn't make it any less disappointing, but that's the position we find ourselves in thanks to last season's failure to get promoted.
The Gnonto offer was seemingly bullsh! t, given SSN never reported anything as such.
Realistically, there's little option for what moves we can make here, unfortunately. Do we risk the wrath of PSR and take a points deduction or do we sell a kid in his infancy in terms of senior football, who represents pure profit to the club and is nowhere near his full potential for a staggering fee? Compounded by the fact that he is the only player we have recieved a legitimate offer for anywhere near that region before June 30.
Fans need to take stock of where we are as a club. We are a Championship club with financial constraints. Something had to give and unfortunately decisions like this need making immediately, not in three years.

Fair, well reasoned, logical points and posts Dill.

Points deduction will possibly be only four points, so to ask the question is it worth it to break the PSR rules, maybe?!
