According to the mirror.
If true it seems a fair price to me but who will replace him?
I would have liked Paul Smith from Forest as a swap but I guess we need the money so it will probably be an out of contract player.

Let me get this straight. Flabio buys the club and immediately sets about refinancing the clubs accounts. He says that the club must make money so he puts up the prices to levels beyond the means of a size-able portion of our fans. He fires (terminates the contracts?) of long term and loyal employees and sets about dismantling the youth set up. Then he wastes money on unnesessary cosmetic changes for a minute percentage of spectators, develops a 'boutique' range of overpriced schmaltz, hires a 'global' representative and keeps a sporting director on a huge wage, who has no track record in running a club except badly and NO experience working in sport except on the financial side. He also hands out over-length contracts to average at best players, buys players that we don't even want and pays for useless unexperienced prima-donnas that cost us a season. So now he has two young english players (only mentioned in regards to the 'homegrown' rule) in Camp and Blackstock that have a large amount of potential and given the right coaching could be players worth 3-5 million each in the future. So what does he do? He drops them completely, makes one of them train with the youth team and tries to get rid of them on loan before flogging them cheaply to teams in our division. Seriously, you couldn't make it up.

Yep, that pretty much sums up this past season!

I think I might copy that Mark and paste it anywhere I can find.
An email to the club even.

CPR - do you think if we ask the club nicely might there be a chance of having it read out over the tannoy as a statement just before kick-off whilst having it displayed on the big screen?
