One way of looking at who is the most important player he have is by appearances. 
Last season was, objectively, overall, a good season apart from that fuck up at the end. 
Our most appearances on the pitch player last year was….yeah THB. 
Any accountants arguments to sell him better be damn good. I don’t want him sold. I think pay him more extend a year give him ability to leave us if we doing bad and or not gone up. But sell him now at very start of season? Our key CB? Not a good idea for me. If we short of cash sell someone else not that key defender and team leader. Strong defences win leagues. 

We need to raise money and cut costs, not increase them. There's no chance we can put him on bigger wages than he's already on. None of us WANT to sell him, but unfortunately it's the financial reality of being in the Championship, you have to sell your best players eventually.

It's all very well saying sell someone else instead, but that requires clubs to actually make offers for those other players. At the moment, it appears THB is the only one attracting actual firm bids. If our asking price is met, he will almost certainly be off.

I didnt see the Solak interview mentioning Saints not having any parachute payments, i read it on swiss ramble following the 23 relegation.

The good news being that its going to be more or less paid off come next summer.

Can you imagine the meltdown if THB’s name is missing from the team sheet today? 
He will go or he will stay, but no amount of fretting on an internet forum will change anything so why not enjoy this long hot summer while you can instead of posting the same old nonsense day after day. If he goes life will go on, trust me.

What were internet forums invented for, if not fretting? ;)

I'm pretty sure it was to allow students to share pictures of semi naked women via alt.binaries. newsgroups

Those two players were here already so not impressive at all. Promotion will be impossible if THB, Scienza and Jander bugger off as well as Stewart and Charles and especially given the likelihood of an Eckert ban

You think persuading Peretz to leave Bayern Munich to come here, and not go to a top league team anywhere else in Europe was "not impressive at all"

"Promotion will be impossible if THB, Scienza and Jander bugger off as well as Stewart and Charles" ... and are not replaced properly 

I'll remind you that Scienza and Jander both arrived in the final days of the transfer window, as did Fellows. Now I grant you having to get a whole load of new players up to speed is likely to blunt our early momentum, no matter how good they are but "Promotion will be Impossible" is the sort of bedwetting phrase I don't expect from any of the authors of Charlie Wayman posts, particularly when 8th play gets a chance at the playoffs this year.

Just to take a slightly different view on things (and with a bit of wishful thinking).

If I was spors and I was looking at the areas of the squad that need the most improvement CB would be a priority area; Captain Jack can be a liability, wood is ok, quashie has looked like a weak link. Maybe this new guy is seen as a partner for THB? He certainly looks to fit the profile.

Nathan Wood is less than okay as far as I'm concerned. A thoroughly average Championship player that shouldn't be starting for a promotion chasing team. It beggars belief he was signed for the Premier League.

Imran Louza left out of squad v Southampton and understood to be set for Watford exit after reiterating desire to leave.

Yep. Agree. Wood not good enough to be a starter should we lose THB. I'd even think about putting Stephens out to pasture as well if the funds allowed.

It’s scary when he’s got the ball at his feet and an oppo starts to close him down. He’s like a deer in the headlights stood on ice.

Well,from Tondas’ response to questions about THB leaving….it seems likely. 
simplest of one word answers from the gaffer. 
I know we can’t expect a lengthy dialogue on the subject…but it was telling. 
hope im wrong…like i was with some bloke heading to Blackburn 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tonda was asked if he had any doubts about playing THB given the transfer speculation, and he just said “no”.
