The Athletic, Edwards, etc have all reported we didn't activity try to offload Gordon, but Liverpool made an enquiry and we held "arms length" discussions with them (I think that was the phrased used).

The Prophet Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Just now, The College Dropout said: Ok but we entertained the idea. The original post was "we tried to sell him", which we didn't.

McDog Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago 7 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Ok but we entertained the idea. I suspect they kept that Liverpool interest in their back pocket as a nuclear option should all else fail at the very end of the PSR period. I highly doubt he'd have been sold unless they felt all other options were exhausted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much horse shit around us. And it wouldn't be the first time the likes of Louise Taylor and other sports journos like at The Express just flat out made shit up.

I just think that we have a bit of disaster porn going on here. Some of the posters who are vociferously skeptical of positive articles being linked with someone throw any skepticism out the window when it comes to negative reporting.

Or was it mentioned in passing by two rags? The report is pretty specific, and considering the circumstances surrounding it, it's worth taking seriously. Those circumstances being direct quotes from Eddie Howe: 1) overtly loving up Gordon 2) decrying the painful last days of the PSR window which many here were (are?) convinced was a financially unnecessary, elaborate ruse de guerre and 3) doing a series of on camera interviews which substantially validated Luke Edwards' reporting a few days prior about his discomfort with the changes at the club, which had, at the time, been widely dismissed as pure horseshit.
