There is zero evidence for that.

2 weeks wages for every game he refuses to make himself available for, a whole season (league games) would be £5.2 million (@ £140k/week) that'd be a laugh, plus CL plus cup games.

While getting fined 2 weeks wages for evey game missed.

I would think we just have to show he refused to be selected for the fine to be levied. If you had to select someone knowing they won't play no-one would ever get fined.

Well that's a 2 weeks wages fine every game starting Saturday.

Given he's crocked, I doubt it.

Better from an extremely expensive PIF lawyer.

Lawyers letters anyone ?? Cease and desist, or else, see you in court.

Where's that plane now ??

and I didn't even mention the internal club (and maybe ownership) approvals being sought/got for the deal elements.

FYP

Agree totally, but we are talking about a full blown Sheik who has the ear of the king, I suspect he's about as hardline businessman as you can get. Time will tell.

So basically you would only consider/accept top whack.

Your house is not on the market, you are not even considering moving, you love where you live, why'd you even entertain them. Look all I'm saying is (based on some personal business/work experience and circumstantial comments - like the post I put above) we're dealing with a completely different mindset/culture, I just think backing down, or even appearing to have backed down, even an inch, isn't a likely option. I could be wrong, but until it all plays out we won't know, but if I had to bet Isak is here in September.

Our position is your house is not on the market and some shyster has strolled up and offered 30-40% less than it's worth.

Oh I agree, but Yassir and PIF are the wildcard in all of this and it's all very public.

Close to your valuation, and "at your valuation" are two different things, selling at "close to" is a concession IMO. Before he kicked off I'd have seriously considered it too, but as he has kicked off, any compromise on our part could be seen as weak and you can be damn sure the client scouse press will report it as a win for the dippers and a loss for us.

I think a lot of folks are underestimating the arab culture/mentality, if indeed it has been an edict "from the top" that's said no, not for sale, I'll be very surprised if we cave unless we get offered absolute top wedge that could be called a win. I don't see Yassir as the backing down type.

Miley is a RCM rather than left, I look upon him as Longstaff's upgrade, Ramsey is a bonus. Whenever he and Longstaff had to play together, whoever was on the left looked lost.

None of the above

The only deals that got strung out in the full glare of publicity were those where the red bastards became involved, I wonder why that is.......hmmmmm

When window closes, under 21's don't have to be named.

Exactly, given the evidence, why people doubt his judgement is beyond me 🤷‍♂️

True. But 11 other very good, extremely well coached, footballers in black and white will.
