Let's say we've had a Leeds, and would have to generate £100m through selling players this summer. What would you do, and how would you composite a competitive squad if this had been the case...?
 
You should play CM boring. You'd be on it 24/24 I reckon. Otherwise dress up and play dungeon and dragons you weirdo.
 
Just hypothetically...

I'd sell all my good players to "Unchester Manited" and "Ucastle Newnited," and sell shit players like "Bee Lowyer" to "Hest Wam." Next I'd sack "Verry Tenables," "Reter Pimsdale," etc and bring in "Reter Peid." After beating "Lanesra" to give Unchester Manited the title, I'd sell them more players such as "Karry Hewell" and maybe "Raul Pobinson." With any luck we would then get relegated the next season and never, ever come back.

If we were in that position bargaining would be hard. But I would try to achieve the following:

Out:
Beckham £35m
RNV £38m
Rio £20m
P.Nev £5m
Bartez £5m
Fortune £3m

Total £106m

In:
Defoe £5m
Di Canio free

Carroll
G. Nev. Keano Silvestre O'Shea
Ole Veron Scholes Giggs
Di Canio
Forlan/Defoe

Subs
Ricardo
Butt
Richardson
Fletcher
Brown

A sound defence would be my first priority. Relegation is unthinkable.

That isn't bad for a bit of creativity in midfield though it lacks a bit of defensive quality. Ok you could swap out Veron for Butt

Up front would obviously be weaker but Forlan and Defoe are improving and Di Canio still has tricks up his sleeve. Plus there are plenty of goal threats from midfield.

Good enough for top 6 IMO. Maybe CL place and a good temporary stop-gap until the finances got better.

You bet they are. Sell Ruud? Makes me shudder to think about it.
