Anthony Gordon

[Bunk Moreland]

Doesn't Liverpool have several actual Tier 1 reporters? Going to choose not to believe this until one of them reports on it.

I hope the Elanga link is true though - think he's underrated and had a great season.

Said it before. Steve Bruce didn't get much right

But he was right about craig hope

[nufc4eva]

I'm on the just take a points deduction rather than selling some of these train. 

[madras]

I'd imagine any offer would be explored. Can't think of any player in this country who is "no, not at any price"?

[Geogaddi]

May as well just totally give up on football if we have to go down this route of selling the likes of Isak or Gordon just to avoid a points deduction.

Personal opinion is the club are putting these false leaks out to draw attention to just how shit PSR is. Obviously that’s just a theory but there’s absolutely no chance we’d sell our player of the season, none.

If we do want to sell a player before 30 June it would make absolute sense to have as many options open to us as is possible, even if some of the potential departures are not likely or wanted to be sold by the club.

 

Having options strengthens out negotiating position for players we do want to sell and it also allows us to understand the relative merits of selling different players.

 

This 'process driven' cliche the club bang on about will involve assessing all available options for selling players before determining the best available option. 

 

That said, selling Gordon would likely be a disaster in both PR terms and on the pitch.

Aye

This really is the best league in the world, playing the beautiful game.

There is zero chance Mr Hope has any insider info on this.  Click bait at it's finest.

If they believe they will be compliant if you include the sales from this summer not just the psr deadline date it makes some sense.  Forest lost 4 points as they delayed selling a player and as a result made significantly more money on him.  I think the premier league rules putting clubs in a position where they have to sell their assets at below market value could be challenged.  

 

Getting lots of evidence showing that they tried and clubs took advantage of the situation would help this appeal/case.

Gordon was our most creative outlet last season - even that 60 secs in England game you saw how crucial he is.  He is going nowhere.

Can’t see his full tweet but that makes zero sense. We need to balance the last 3 years books and the cut off is the 30th. What we do after the 30th has no impact as the reporting period is closed.

and they are not going to sell Gordon. I repeat this is just my theory because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever either #nufc

What does "muddy PSR compliance" mean? How does leaking fake news items change how much we've spent over the last three years?

It’s means nothing and has zero impact on reality.

It was Forests exact defence last year that got the points reduction reduced.  They refused to accept an offer as they were being taken advantage of.  They argues that the market value of a player was higher at the end of a transfer window.  They were proved correct at made, I think, 15 million extra on the player.  

 

Edit I was wrong about the reduction in points.  It was their reason though.  Personally I agree and thing the deadlines are incorrect and should be aligned.

The Saudis are not used to operating in an environment where they can’t just throw money at a problem.

 

It’s not a surprise to me that the club has sat with its thumb up its arse and let this situation fester.

And the argument didn’t hold water and they got docked points as expected. If we try and use such a stupid defence we will suffer the same fate.

the Saudi’s aren’t managing the club on a day to day basis, it’s very odd to blame them for this situation.

I don’t see it as stupid I see it as a failings in the rules.

 

Sell an asset for 30 million on 30 June.  Comply

Sell the same asset for 45 million at end of transfer window.  Don’t comply but you have 15 million quid extra.

 

It is completely wrong for rules to force someone to sell an asset below its value.

Yeah, the people they’ve appointed are. If we’ve fucked up on PSR the responsibility ultimately lies with them.

 

And the idea that Hope would invent this out of thin air is pure cope.

It’s stupid because it doesn’t work as a defence and we will get points docked. The rules aren’t interested In weather you should have taken a hair cut. It’s black and white you breached ok how much do we dock.
