@VillageTaker The difference is Gordon knowing his place in the Barca team. He was trying to be top dog at Newcastle so was extremely selfish. At Barca he wouldn’t get away with any of the selfish shit he did at Newcastle

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

A lot to unpack.

Firstly, he's under contract, one he willingly signed.

Secondly, and I've experienced this as have a million players, I think he's alluding to ( on signing that contract) the old "do well and if someone offers £80m for you we'll let you go. Answer to this of course is a buy out clause that both parties should maybe have entered into.

Thirdly, he's doing something every modern ( and I hate it) player does. Won't take the very old school route of transfer request as it means giving up a large chunk of bonus/loyalty/salary. In short, modern players want to leave, be paid on leaving and on signing for a new club. Cake meets eating it.

If Newcastle said to him and his agent a year ago " we'll let him go if he has a great season " but it wasn't written down, tough on Isak.

If the player wants to leave but doesn't want to go on the transfer list, then that's the player wanting that cake and eating it.

If he's desperate to leave, put in a request, that alerts every club on earth of his availability ( if Newcastle accept it, and that should because no club wants a player who doesn't want to stay publicly/officially) he forfeits some cash but he's outta there pronto.

Newcastle can play hardball and make him fulfill his contractual obligations but they'll lose money month on month plus they'll need a replacement who does want to play for Newcastle.

I'd sack the agent if I'd received the advice he has, because his contract didn't have a " if you do well you can go at £xxxx", he's basically been out of action for a couple of weeks ( what's the agent doing to get him and club to agree an exit strategy???), an agent several weeks in should advise pulling the transfer list rip cord ( " you're going to lose some dough but your next club will make it up ") etc etc. And any public statement can be used in any tribunal against the ayer do advise him to keep it shut.

Piss poor agent work, naive player, "possible" renaging ( pure speculation at this point) on handshake by club, a football transfer room 101 in how not to handle a febrile situation.

@NUFCcook I hate the bloke. Stuck with under performing players. When you look at the last few tournaments, and how poor rivals have been, we should have won the tournaments. We’ve celebrated failure. He should have been sacked for costing us those tournaments.

@Lea_EFC I seen a LFC fan saying LFC’s and MU’s revenue was legitimate. It’s legitimate after decades of going through periods spending the most money. Spending generally results in success, which results in increased revenues. They’ll argue their success was on a shoestring budget.
