Edwards account explains why it might be seen as weak, Caulkin's too. In fact PIF's own reported account in both mentions their concern on it - that it looks weak and sets a precedent. They also capitulated on their word. The account also mentions Howe and Reuben standing firm while PIF didn't.

Can’t comment on the rest, but that last sentence is 100% untrue. Howe, the players (and I assume Reuben) absolutely wanted him out of the building. Obviously not from a sporting POV (who would want to lose a great player), but in the context of everything that had gone on, absolutely.

I promised to share anything I learnt today from a few people (one of which is very close to everything going on, one of the others, an agent not connected to an NUFC player but active in the PL in general)…

 

Some of this we already know, some of it contradicts slightly what Caulkin said in his article (I’ll let you choose who to believe and won’t be offended, as I’m just passing on what I have been told). None of it is particularly groundbreaking but I’ll share none the less…

———-

 

- firstly, as I’ve said a few times now and had it confirmed by pretty much everyone I have spoken to over the last few weeks, Eddie and the players absolutely 100% wanted Isak gone (this info is from as good as source as you can get really). The longer it went on, and as his behaviour became more and more unforgivable, the bigger that desire for him to leave was. To quote specifically from someone I spoke to today…. “the trust had completely gone”... I know this isn’t particularly “news” as it’s been pretty obvious from their togetherness, but I’m 100% on that.

 

- the meeting last Monday. That was ultimately what sealed the route forward… Isak apparently telling PIF and Reuben that he was willing to sit out until January if he wasn’t granted his move, with no desire to reintegrate.

 

- PIF made the final decision, but Eddie was fully on board with that decision.

 

- the feeling within the industry is that £130m is maybe very slightly under value in the current market, but not by much.

 

- apparently, the last couple of weeks at the training ground have been particularly unpleasant when Isak has been in the building. General rudeness on his part, him not conversing with anyone other than the odd fitness coach who was assigned to him, headphones on and ignoring people… essentially just stropping. And a big effort to hide things like tactics / team sheets from view when he’s been in the building (going back to those trust issues).

 

————
I’ll let everyone draw their own conclusions, but I know how I feel about it all (with my usual positive outlook).


Eddie, and Reuben, and PIF, in my opinion have pretty much exclusively shown themselves to make decisions in the best interest of NUFC, and this is no different really (if you take the raw emotion out of it).


Barring potentially a slightly smaller fee than we’d hope, they’ve acted in a way to protect the club, make sure we have the players we need, give us plenty of PSR headroom moving forward, and get a good fee (albeit it not perfect) for a player who has shown nothing but disdain over these last few weeks. They have made decisions, not through emotion, but for the long term good of the club.

 

I personally don’t buy that our actions have shown us to have “bent over” for Liverpool, and I don’t think the industry, the general public or the majority of fans see it that way either. I mean, I played 11-a-side football tonight with 7 other NUFC fans and everyone was happy he was gone. Outside of the internet forum / Twitter rage bubble, taking a step back, I really don’t think many people see it that way.

 

Anyone… that’s all I have.

 

 

 


You heard any remote truth or snippet referring to this thread? Personally assume it’s just Twitter bollocks but still;

No, I think that’s Twitter bollocks personally, although I’ve mentioned before that one player, who’s not particularly popular around these parts, showed some sympathy towards him, but even that’s apparently now changed.

Tbh it hurts that he’s signed for Liverpool but in all honesty deep down as soon as we found out he asked to leave with 2 games to go I thought he really should be sold. It’s not what you need in a team and Liverpool if it starts going badly will find out he’s just a talented coward

Not sure on the rest but the player 1 of the players who openly hates doing media work (from someone I'm extremely close to who's done media work with the club a lot) sounds exactly like Botman. :lol:

That was my assumption as well if that’s true. Odd thing to make up, like. Think Isak’s on the record saying Botman was his closest mate here as well.
