By all accounts a lower fee was agreed by all parties so why would triggering the release clause have made a difference? 

Because somebody came along and offered more money I.e. the release clause.

How could this be anyone at the Newcastle’s “fault” is beyond me. :lol: 

 

We got fucking used. Again. 

We’ve been faffing about negotiating over bonus clauses instead of just paying the release clause, spend weeks on it and Liverpool jump in at the last minute.

Why is it our fault? :lol:

It's not our fault in the same way it's not the victims' fault when they get scammed. Except in our case we've been scammed in the same way a handful of times in quick succession and maybe need to ask questions about our own gullibility.

If it’s true we were close to agreeing a deal last week, you’d think after days of the handshake not coming, we’d be asking for some movement. Longer it goes on, the more likely of this happening. 
 

That’s why I’m blaming the club.

They made a 'late move' man - we just procrastinated on this deal


They would’ve done the same thing last week had we activated it then. It’s not like they suddenly decided they wanted him. They’ll have been in contact with his agent the whole time.

We’ve simply GOT to find a way of completing deals without them leaking. Maybe we’re gonna have to come up with a way of incentivising agents in a way that nobody else is doing to take away this constant fucking shite of getting pipped at the post.  
 

Maybe a bigger fee if the deal completes more quickly? The agent fee decreases with every day that passes. I dunno, there’s got to be some way of improving what we’re currently doing man. 
 

This is shite.

For all those saying "we didn't move fast enough", I bet what actually happened is Munoz/his agent said to us "let's sort the move after the World Cup" whilst simultaneously contacting every other more fashionable club in the PL and saying he's off to NUFC in a few weeks unless you fancy slapping in a bid and 20% more wages.

100% agree with this, however Wilson needs to realise he's been played, end the deal and move on

I am sure when we signed the likes of Bruno, Botman - even Tonali the first we heard about it was when the deal was pretty much done.

There was zero mention of Liverpool throughout the whole process of us being "imminent" the pasta shagger would have shouted it from the rooftops if they were, and at least one other journo would have picked up on it.

 

People need to wake up, just because it's not Ashley running the show doesn't mean the club is suddenly infallible, we look more and more incompetent as time goes by, we've fucked around haggling over pennies and left ourselves open to a hijack, who's specific fault that is behind the scenes I don't know but we aren't acting quickly or decisively enough and are being punished again. Lessons haven't been learned.
