Every club is meant to get at least an extra £14m from the TV deal. A live match has increased by about £1million (to the club) and this season we have been on 23 times. That means we could have paid the Coutinho & Sturridge deals via future revenue, and not Carroll's perceived sale.
In any case, we have options.
Spine Price: $900
Hand and Forearm Price: $385
Shoulder Price: $500
Heart Price: $500
Corneas Price: $6,000/pair
Kidneys Price: $300-500
Head Price: $6,000
Brain Price: $600
Knee Price: $650 each
Tendons Price: $1,000 each ($10,000 to $100,000)
I truly believe that FSG are playing the "we are poor" card so that we are not screwed over again. In truth the answers will be revealed in the summer.
I personally can not see him staying with us as he wasn't even considered for a plan B, let alone the first 11. He is someone who needs to play regular football to get form. He can never be that player for us. We need to cut the loss and recoup as much as possible while we can.
