That's tapping-up in players terms, isn't it? Mate, tapping up hasn't been an issue since about 2005 Just cause we've not signed any players since about then, we haven't noticed that football has moved on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The thing is Hope has always just reported the truth, whether it rattled the club or not, but he was never a dick about it. Edward carries on winding up fans, throwing tantrums and acting the cunt. That's why one will get exclusives moving forward and the other won't.

Kid Icarus Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The only time tapping up was ever a thing was Chelsea with Ashley Cole wasn't it? It felt like a huge thing at the time until you found it happens all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he wanted maguire but the board wouldn't sanction it with the money quoted. Luiz was a fall back! I hope your point still stands come the weekend! Also the whispers of us approaching him early and being pushed back but now returning and it happening hopefully means we now have a DOF sorted which is a selling feature to him. I doubt another two losses even with a bigger salary would change his mind too much positively. Can imagine we had no real firm answers to how our structure would look or who would be leading it 3/4 weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs hold player's registrations and there are rules about approaching them, a manager is just like any other member of staff and they can talk to other potential employers without the knowledge / permission of the club.

toontownman Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59139501 Haven't made it through the opening paragraph from tears.. Article looks promising..but ... "Unai Emery had the near-impossible task of replacing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal - and failed. Will he find replacing Steve Bruce at Newcastle easier if talks end in a firm job offer?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I’m not sure what the protocol is though, he’s got a release clause so perhaps the club have to make the offer to Villarreal before formally offering a contract to Emery? All minor details though at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All minor details though at this stage. I don't think there is any set protocol, it will depend on the terms of the manager's contract. When a player transfers what the club is essentially buying is the player's registration. In the case of a manager its just an employment contract that needs to be bought out of.

Although the chance of running the richest club in the world has to have some serious pull. It's not like he wins La Liga every year right now. Sky could be the limit.
