If Swindon could get £3 million for the both of them tomorrow, then they should sell them now.
The only circumstance where they shouldnt sell the players is if Di Canio isnt given enough time and adequate funds to replace both players.

We could give Paolo until the next sighting of Halley's Comet but he still couldn't replace Ritchie while we're in League Two. There's no way we could attract anyone good enough. |

No, no, no, you couldn't replace either adequately in this transfer window. If they were to be sold the whole season could come tumbling down around our ears, that would be an absolute disaster |

Why did this have to happen on a Sunday?
I want to know what's happening.

I honestly believe that if we started selling the team from under Di Canio in the middle of the season he would walk. He could rightly point to a lack of ambition.
I guess the big question is, are Ritchie & Caddis in the Cox & Parkin mould, or are they more like Austin?

Quick couple of points - only a rumour so far and the truth is that Ipswiich would be a step up until you realize that they could very well go down with their current form and end up playing us next season (hopefully).
Who is to say that Jewell will still be in charge in a couple of weeks?
Better off staying here, getting to Wembley and getting us up surely?

Why?
Because i don't think they are woth £3 million for the both of them. At best Ritchie is worth £750k-£1 million, and Caddis somewhere around £500,000. They are good league 2 players who could probably do a job in league 1. Neither set the world a light last season (all be it they were in a shit side). Let them move to Ipswich for £3 million, and i bet you in 3-4 years time, they will end up like Billy Painter, Sam Parkin, Rory Fallon etc etc. |

And how much would you value promotion and a potential JPT cup win at? |

Do you think it would damage our promotion chances Stefpol?
Personally I think it would be devastating, and also I think they are different from Paynter, Fallon (who incidentally went on to play in a world cup) and to a lesser extent Parkin in that they only 22 and 23. They will improve before peaking in their career.

We shouldn't sell anyone(unless they are surplus)until the end of the season. Hopefully the players will respect that and if they want moves, they will get them during the summer.

The whole team has got us to this position at the moment, not just those 2 players.
If Di Canio is given funds to replace the players, then im sure players like Rooney could replace Ritchie
Only a few weeks ago people on this forum were saying Ritchie has been playing crap. Now all of a sudden he has a good game against Wigan and Rotherham and he is irreplaceable.
The loss of Ritchie/Caddis would no where be near as devastating to Swindon as when we lost Austin.
