It all sounded so good until you threw in the word "medical".

What concerns me is that by even suggesting he might go on a free sends out totally the wrong message and underlines the desperation of our situation.

Wander - What is the right message?  We're f**ked... that's the message.  We have to lower the monthly costs to attract a buyer, even if we pay the taxman.  As for Davies, he has made a very good living from the club, but having been injured for most of his time here, we all think he is a daft prick for holding us up in the club's time of need.

It's all about degrees of f***edness. 
Everyone knows that Mavies was rated and at one time we might have got several million for him. 
But now we have to sell players just to keep the club going.
Offering to put him on a free just to get him off the books sends out the message that we are prepared to slash any price we are offering our players at.

We need every penny we can get for our players but nobody will take our price negotiation seriously after this.

Could not agree more... and the degree of "f**kedness" is peaking today.  It shows the poor management skills of ED and PG not to have sold Mavies when we could have made millions.  As almost everyone here has pointed out, we buy high and sell low.  Well, free is as low as you can get and that spells "F**ked!"  Also Mavies is a daft prick (yet again) for holding up a club after making millions while he rehabbed.  The club was good to him and this is the ultimate "FU" that he gave the team in return.

Obs - you're implying that Mavies is "holding up the club"  whereas the BN article said the deal hadn't gone through due to "undisclosed reasons" (whatever they are)
Furthermore, the implication of the BN article is that Sheff W faked their interest in order to keep him out of our team on Tuesday.

I'm not convinced Mavies is holding anyone back. Unlike Clough who has refused to go.

not so sure Lusty, it seems to me that Mavies couldn't get the wages he wanted so said no. It's probably why we have to pay up part of his contract to help bump up his overall package and lower wage. So if that is the case (and i'm only voicing my opinion from what i've read) then there is an element of truth in him holding us to ransom

He's become a real prick and needs a slap!

Must disagree with you Karly.  If you slap him, he'll return to the injury table, still collecting wages from us.  He would probably also file a criminal complaint as to the slap.  Finally a civil case would ensue since the slap curtailed his stellar career.  If in fact, he and his scum agent are asking the club to give him the 750,000 pounds, then yes, he is a daft prick and an ungrateful bastard.  Knowing how agents work, it may not be Mark at all... but shenanigans are going on all around us as we sink into the abyss.

MEDO has been released

How did they do that? Contract up? Mutual consent? Pay off?

No he was chained to a radiator deep beneath the West stand.

Marky Mark is staying until the end of the season according to BBC journo Simon Stone.

Don't know if that's a good thing or not to be honest, blow to the running costs for sure plus he's well overdue an injury.

Definitely a bad thing. He'll be gutted he didn't get a move. He was anonymous for large parts before all this shit happened, he'll be pretty much invisible now his heart's not in it, if it ever was in the first place.

Is the deal going through with Mavies coming to us on loan or is the deal off? I.e. do we get the money?

What deal?

Yes, we are loaning Mavies to ourselves

Have we all gone a bit hysterical with all this takeover / Administration business?

There's definitely something in the air......

We are obviously sniffing the same glue as BWFC!

Think Wanderlust has outed himself as Sheff Wednesday or Fulham fan.
