Those of you upset with the Struijk fee - I agree with you, I think it is too low. Only consolation I am able to offer is that thankfully it can also work the other way. I think we signed Ampadu, Rodon, Bogle, Gudmundsson & Tanaka for very cheap prices.π#lufc
@DavidRo63584857 I know it from my own industry, David. Which is slightly more niche than football. Once you get into it, there is always someone who will give you a job. Because they think you "know the business".π€¦ββοΈ
@DavidRo63584857 Valladolid in La Liga 2. Unless he's been sacked in the last few days & I've missed it.π They finished 17th last season.π€¦ββοΈ
Why doesn't anyone want to manage Burnley? What's wrong with Burnley?ππ No Culture? I've told you before about the Textile Museum, the Singing Ringing Tree & Cliviger Fish Ponds.ππ€·ββοΈπGet yourself there pronto, Pep, before Jurgen snaps up the job.ππ€·ββοΈ
@1966lufc I'm wary of these add-ons. Right now only Β£15m is guaranteed. I'm not especially a fan of Struijk, just like to see us get the best deal possible. Also, I wonder if we want the sale before Jun 30, to go in this year's books?
A couple of thoughts on Struijk. Speculation because I don't know the facts. Are we wanting the sale to go through this month & be in this year's accounts? What's the rush? The transfer window is open all summer. Or has Struijk said he only wants to go to Brighton?#lufc
@StuartWeinstoc1@Lufc19821 Farke seemed to like him, but I wonder what sort of offer we made to Struijk? We've kept hold of Ampadu who is a better player. Maybe our offer wasn't that brilliant? Brighton seem to have bettered it, anyway. Don't see him moving for a pay cut.π€·ββοΈ
@eRotation That's what I was wondering. We have to make sure we comply with the financial rules & regulations which are looked at on a 3-year cycle afaik.
@jonsmith_lufc Because I DO know something about football & about finance. More than the likes of Ridsdale, Bates, Cellino & Radz for example.ππ
@jonsmith_lufc Ah, you're one of those who is happy to sit back & put your trust in "the club".πThat must have served you well under Ridsdale, Bates, Cellino, Radz, Orta etc.π They love folk like you who don't think & don't care what they get up to. Ciao, happy clapper.ππ
@Lufc19821 Nearing the end of June. Wonder if the club wanted/needed some money to go into this year's accounts? Transfer window doesn't close for ages.π€
@jonsmith_lufc I was pointing out that just because he has 1 year left on his contract doesn't mean we have to sell him for a small fee. Maybe we desperately need the money to go into this year's accounts. Who knows?
