SUPERTOON Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Just now, KaKa said: I think we could claim that we made every effort to move players on, but can't just sell players way below their value, as it is damaging to the club. Would just be useful when appealing any dumb point deduction, which I think we may increasingly be more likely to take and then challenge at this point. I get the idea, but we could have leaked it saying they enquired but the offer wasn’t enough. For us to leak we are actively trying to sell him leaves a bad taste.

For us to leak we are actively trying to sell him leaves a bad taste. Yeah, but it's far more convincing! Especially if his agent is in on it and the player is aware. We have to be seen to be the ones taking action on this. Edited June 29 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 32 minutes ago, Novocastrian said: This looks like manufactured bulls inhit but I’ve got a bad feeling about it. How much would the club want? Surely it would be north of £80m? Another player who is priceless for us in my opinion. If it looks like manufactured bullshit why have you got a bad feeling about it ?

But if they have to show they’re actively trying to sell, your approach wouldn’t work, because it would look like you’re turning down opportunities to comply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe or not believe as I owners just stay totally quiet on everything.

No people need to stop this weird track of we tried, it doesn’t work Forest got deducted for this. We’ve had 3 years to balance the books not 3 weeks.

Gawalls Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Dr Jinx said: There’s a serious agenda happening in the press to unsettle our players. 49 minutes ago the mirrors just printed a story saying Gordon’s best friend in football plays for Liverpool, they’re spouting some article where he named three and one was also Anderson but that doesn’t fit the narrative of the story I suppose.

Beren Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 21 minutes ago, Dr Jinx said: There’s a serious agenda happening in the press to unsettle our players. I don't know if it is the press. If I was part of the moneybags establishment, I'd be seeking to unsettle the studs of potential contenders left, right and centre. Even if I didn't want them or knew I couldn't afford them. You just create a bigger barrier to entry by making the likes of Newcastle and Aaron Villa have to pay the likes of Isak, Bruno, Gordon and Watkins incredibly handsomely and deplete resources available to do other stuff.

The reporting period is 3 years, we had to remain in compliance that’s all. I’m not in anyways defending the rules either I’ve been one of the most vocal saying we have to challenge them to move forward but as we haven’t here we are.

BennyBlanco Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Absolutely fucking bollocks this. Imagine losing 10-15 goals a year and probably the same in assists. Not even like we can moneyball the fuck out of it and try and make it back in the aggregate with some cheaper players either. Bent as fuck the premier league.

They based their defence on trying to sell players and their appeal was unsuccessful. Not sure if it was Johnson specifically mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 55 minutes ago, KaKa said: I think there's a good chance we've decided to take the points deduction hit. All this big show of trying to sell players seems very suspect. Might be used to mitigate how much of a punishment they plan to dish out, or to buy more time. But let's see. Something seems fishy around all this! It’s unsettling our players. I don’t think it’s intentional if we take the hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
