Still need an answer to whether the club did actually offer him to Liverpool. If true that a massive, massive black mark against them. 

Yeah it's an absolute shambles if we have done that , no way can we be that desperate surely that we would even need to contemplate it and if we are then someone has fucked up big time at the club. We can criticise the PRS rules all we want but this one would be on the club.

BBC and Guardian reporting it so got be some credibility?

[SUPERTOON]

Starting to think this may happen 

 

 

[Menace]

We're rioting if Gordon gets sold

[nufc123]

Club is in a little bit of a mess if true.

[Ben]

Really confused by all of this, it's almost though we are spent up and scrambling around looking for cash.

 

At what point should we start to worry ? 

[KaKa]

Just noticed Gordon signed a shorter contract.

 

Looks like it expires in June 2026, which is really strange.

 

Wonder if that has anything to do with all this. Going into the final two years from this summer.

[Slim]

Come on man must be a Saudi club deal we can do

We still have loads of commercial deals to sort as well

His contract was never disclosed was it ?

[Ikon]

Have we eaten more cake than we can afford to pay? Shambles. (If any truth in all this shite)

My take on it is Liverpool made an enquiry and we said he's maybe available if Quansah is involved in a prospective deal, Liverpool said no and then the press release came out (from them rather than us) to make it out that we were the ones actively contacting Liverpool.

 

The above is all very leaned to us but a Gordon sale don't make sense.

[JJ7]

I’m resigned to losing big players eventually, even now, but you’re not getting maximum value in this desperate state.

It was never mentioned, which is strange. But all the typical sites with this information say it runs till June 2026.

[Theregulars]

I reckon it’s mutually beneficial misinformation.

I don’t even think Quansah would want to come here anyways tbh.

[Scoot]

Shocking move if he's sold mind. And a what on fucking earth are the club playing at kinda thing! Big question marks over what they're playing at if we lose Gordon.

How does it benefit Gordon?

This is still the strangest part. If we are desperate with less than 35 hours to go, sell the stadium naming rights, training ground rights, our training gear has been sponsor less for 2 years now.
 

something feels very off about all of this. We could even take that £3m for Daniel titchmarsh.

Where is the benefit of selling a player like Gordon to avoid a PSR punishment? We avoid a points deduction? Are they afraid of a points deduction costing us a champions league spot because they need to realise fast that selling our best players will have the same result. A points deduction of about 2 or 4 points could still see us qualifying for the CL.

I’ll believe these Gordon stories when it comes from Ornstein or Caulkin or Waugh. I’m certain we don’t sell Gordon unless the money is truly daft 100m +

[KingArthur]

Selling Gordon makes no sense in FFP wise. Has to be something like 70 million + deal to get enough because of his amortisation.

Reflects well on him that big competitive clubs are interested, may ultimately contribute to harder-to-rebuff demands for better salary

And he gets to go home

[KennyUtd]

This is all a fkn shambles if true. The club have known the situation for ages man. Needing to sell a player who has settled in so well and who the fans love is suicide. They'll get hammered for this and rightly so. As has been previously written, this has Ashley vibes all over it. Thought those days were long gone ffs.
