We all need to start a campaign to stop watching the BBC and demand changes at the very top. They are a publicly funded corporation, and they should remain completed independent with out any political bias. They clearly are not apolitical and need to be reminded where the power lies.

Only kidding... I was referring to the other place. I'm glad you're still on here!

Where did you disappear too?

That would be the best outcome for the club. I'm not sure the player will reintegrate easily. Rumours that some players have turned against him along with a fair lump of the support. We'll see what happens between now and the 1st of September!

PIF doesn't seem to be running the club like that... maybe this might change that, but neither does it help PSR. He's on about £140k per week. Plus, do they need to bring in another No.9 anyway? Nothing much out there, so it will cost unless they sign someone as cover?

Someone said they're like The Hotel California... you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
But seriously, it's a mess. Love them or loathe them agents have a lot of say with players, and they talk. It won't be good for Newcastle when trying to sign players in the future, Will.

All we know is that he wants out, and you're stuck with a player who, up to now, refuses to train or play and has stated publicly he won't play for the club again.

You need to have this conversation with Amanda Stavely and Paul Michell. They are the ones who apparently made the promise and then reneged on the promise.
Neither you nor I know the ins and outs of it.

LFC have stated publicly that they remain interested in a sale but will only come back to the table if encouraged to do so by NUFC.

That's the attitude that has led your club to where it is, Marty. You can't make promises to your star player, renege on those promises, and expect him to just smile and be happy.
Good day.

Yes... I suppose it is slightly different because NUFC wants to keep him, but therein is the problem you face... he doesn't want to stay and had told the club this some time ago.

As Isak said in his statement (whether you believe it or not), promises have been broken, and the trust is gone. If that's how he feels, of course, he won't sign a new contract.
Do you believe the clubs outright refusal to consider a sale is the best way to handle it. Howe seems to want him gone.

As is your right not to sell, but you're stuck with a player who, for whatever reason, has stated he does not want to play for the club again. Who is refusing to reintegrate and is very unpopullar with your fanbase. His valuation will continue to diminish, and you're unable to replace him.

It's literally just happened to us with Diaz. We recognised that he was not going to be happy because he believed he should've been on a higher salary, whereas we didn't want to offer new terms, so we agreed to sell him. You might argue it's not the same, but the principles are similar.

Mo is off for Afcon, too. This doesn't seem like good planning to me. Cheisa will be cover for Mo. There will be no cover for Ekitike. We need two more signings. Fofana is sitting their and wants to join?

Reports that Konate is back in talks and is very close to signing a new deal.

It's an opening bid. It's called "negotiation."
An embarrassing offer would be offering £25m when the selling club values a player at £45m to £50m.

Make it at least double the usual. If you're having Liverpool supporting friends round, double it again.

Hence, the club does not feel any pressure to renew. He's 30 when his current deal expires, and we only offer new contracts to players over 30 by exception. I do like him, btw, and despite what I've said, I don't mind if he stays (as long as he stops moaning to the press). If not, sell him!

We had much greater priorities at the time Kev. The club may well have propsed a renewal, but since then, he has sent mixed messages, is constantly messaging his desire to leave the club, and was veing heavily pursued by Barca, who have gone quiet. I think this has caused Arne to have a rethink.

The club is under no obligation to renew (whether promised or not). Maybe if Diaz had shown his loyalty to the club rather than twisting for a move every other day, the contract renewal would be done already! Had enough of this now. Get the deal done so we can move on!

I think that's what hurts the most. The photos of him and his family on his wedding day. He looked so happy. He looked like a man who had everything he wanted in this world. And now he's gone. It's so hard to accept it. Absolutely overwhelmed with grief 💔. I can't begin to know how his family feels.

I'm in complete shock, Eudis. On a real high with all the great summer business being done by the club and now, it really doesn't matter about that. We've lost a world-class footballer and such a wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful person.
