Kanj

seems like its been a total shock to the team and staff.

You do not sell him unless you're happy with 2+ players you sign that with some 90%+ probability of replacing his goal contributions over the next 2+ years with your moves. Simple as that.

some of our top players? sounds like this was a true shock to everyone. this heel turn.

There won't be anything to sustain if we crash an burn this season -- we need to strike a happy balance.

assume, me included are just talking shit.

Is it the naff panels in the weird ass template? Look at the piping thing and how it impacts the drape. You never want to listen to me but these stupid random designs always include odd templates and panels and piping and shit, a simple kit hangs normally.

57 hours and 20 mins for some.

True.

60M + Ekitke, Liverpool cover the wage differential for 3 years of the contract by paying up front that amount to us. 30M next summer.

It can technically happen, but doubt it will. I'd rather us hold our necks out and do that for Ekiteke

There is business, and there is the way they have conducted business here.

We're not going to sign that guy.

TBG do you just post whatever randomly enters your head?

Would happily sell him for 20-50m less next summer. This is a principle matter now.

Have to imagine Richard Hughes and Eddie will no longer be friends after this.

I really don’t care about PSR right now, I care more about our 4 competitions and lack of main striker currently training with the first team.

Sign DCL and Woltemede

So why is our 4m loan fee substantial for Ramsdale and Liverpools 110m offer for Isak not an insulting or derisory offer? I know why….

Them socks are so low

I’d venture to say the current players care less about a new stadium (they all love SJP anyway) and new training ground given the time it takes to build those. they likely do care who the sporting director is, the wages and the ability to win trophies and compete. These lads know how close we bloody are to being a force and I’m sure any who are pissed off about it are annoyed at the club and the PSR nonsense…but crucially they are professionals and get on with the job, apart from #14

can see why some parents are so involved in their kids' lives in the sporting world - hopefully you have a good parent who can simply just look after the child and the child only. I know for certain I'd be my son's rep if he ever made it and would do it for bloody nothing man, would kill me to see my own boy get taken advantage of!

Aye, didn't factor contract or anything

Sadly I think he gives West Ham another year given how they supported him throughout this. Which is a good move.

CEO/Club given a remit to get things done, there will be controls and resolutions in place to what has to be escalated to the Board for approval, and there are likely sub committees on the board that can make decisions without full Board approval. @TRon

My favorite part about the contract issues with Isak are that he was open to one at some point, prior to having the best season of his career, and they waited until after the best season of his career to try and get those talks back on track, after he was pissed off and not receptive to even working with them. Fucking brilliant stuff!
