Possibly swallowable but extremely tenuous, given the executives he could have had an issue with were gone before he started acting the twat.

Douglas is the "i" paper not the Athletic btw

I believe Borson's article (Not the cheese gazzette PL) stated we could in extreme circumstance sue for impairment of his value.

So we say here's the max we can do but we'll add in a release clause for next summer. Bottom line for me, whatever we could offer would have been a very significant raise, you're probably talking £100k/week minimum - we could pay him over £50k/week more at no cost due to his re-amortisised contract. It's just pure greed.

I would guess that "promise" would be Mandy during her the end of the game cuddles probably saying something like "we'll get you a raise" and officially she was in no position to make any such promise, she was a minority shareholder. In truth Mitchell was quite right to knock it back for 12 months, give we were in PSR purgatory and the fucker (Isak) was one third of the way into a deal that had by all accounts tripled his cash when he was bought.

Read Borson, the cheese is Boursin, your reading ability has patently been impaired and dazzled by the glare of your shirt, that, along with your comprehension difficulties similarly impaired by the multiple wiplash events in your motoring history. Or perhaps you are dyslexic, I didn't consider that tbh, with your fashion sense I had you as nailed on colour blind but never considered dyslexia, until now.

No, Bosman was about players being free to move when a contract ends NOT players breaking contracts still in place. Read Borson.

There is no "full blown legal action" option, everything is stipulated in his playing contract, he turns up for work as he is directed by the club or else we can fine him 2 weeks wages every time he doesn't. Ultimately we could sack him and retain his player registration until his contract ends, he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

I don't think the team wants him near the team anymore tbh.

Oh, and is it fuck about trust, an early transfer request would have signaled Isak's issue was indeed about trust and not simply about money, but as it really is only about money there's been no transfer request, funny how that works.

He won't, unless we have two through the door as well as our £150 Mill.

Yeah, I agree, they could be fining him already but they'll wait until the windows closed at the earliest, I wonder if there's a time limit on levying a fine 🤷‍♂️ be nice if we're just totting it up as we go for when (if) we decide to drop the hammer.

He can't go to court, he's got no grounds to go to court, everything is laid out in his contract, he's obliged to train and make himself available for selection, every time he doesn't do either, he can be fined two weeks wages.

Especially with kids.

Yes, the penalty for which is two weeks wages, every time.

Based on the way they've been mollycoddling him with lifts from the station etc. They'll have sent someone round to sing him lullabies.

Fuck knows what Yassir thinks but it won't be complimentary about his former favourite player.

Absolutely agree, we say absolutely nothing, Eddie plays the "others are dealing with it" card.

He'd better not, that undermines our ability to fine him.

IF (big if) you believe him, which apparently you are desperate to do. I say again, why the I'm happy interviews, why the kit launch, why the supportive/encouraging of his move posts on Elanga's Instagram. It just doesn't add up at all. Things only started to come out when the dippers dabled. I think the wider squad know the truth and Bruno's photo he posted paints a thousand words.

He's trying to mate, really trying. But he can fuck off until we get proper wedge AND replacements

You're making stuff up now to support Isak's frankly untenable position

where's he absolving Liverpool, it his final throw of the dice to get a cut price move to them.

You feel for him, I get it, but you're wrong. Why the I'm happy interviews, front and centre kit launch, it's bollocks.
