Yeah we touched on that the other day, I suspect when we said "no" we really, really, meant it. And as Tom Petty would say "I won't back down" (if he wasn't dead of course).

Christmas Tree 6703 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 46 minutes ago, MrBass said: That's pointless. Liverpool will continue to "be interested" right up until the window closes to provide maximum disruption to the start of our season. As far as they're concerned, they're not doing anything wrong - they made a bid, we said no, they said they wouldn't make another unless we gave them the green light. IF that was how things worked, then that would be the saga done and dusted. We all know that's not how it works though. Liverpool have their media chums to keep stirring the pot so Isak and his agent think there's still a chance to get the move done. Once that window closes is when this starts to get fixed. While I understand your POV, I disagree. I think a public statement would cut a lot of it off at the knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63280 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 But it worsens our position with the player. A player who we are going to be stuck with for another season. Because then we blocked his move instead of the buying club failing to meet our valuation. It doesn't make any sense to do what you're saying. Other than short term satisfaction of "yeah! We're the ones who killed that off, we're the boss!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8367 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 RAWK is in full on delusional meltdown about this now. There is a single NUFC fan over there (no, not Fish) trying to reason with them and they're carrying on like RTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12388 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Yeah a public statement is not going to achieve anything positive. It certainly won’t stop the media circus between now and when the window closes and allow the pressers to be focused on anything but (which is the point I think CT is trying to suggest). Those repeated questions are coming regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63280 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Also, Isak's position is basically done now. They've gone nuclear with won't play even if he's still here. There's no more noise they can really make. Whats next? "OK ok, how about this? I won't play if I'm still here AND I'll do a poo on Eddie Howe's car bonnet every day." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 4205 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just waiting for one of the fake accounts to put out a headline like that now They've already done the restraining order against Howe, so nothing would surprise me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 15611 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 There is absolutely no need for any statement from the club. Our position is "he's not for sale" why do we need to say it again? It serves absolutely no purpose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63280 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Wasn't 4 months ago they were booing one of their players for the crime of just wanting to leave. And behaving fairly impeccably throughout. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it follows the private legal ultimatum to the player, then he’s in no uncertain terms where he stands and HAS to either strike or pipe down. I just think allowing it to rumble on and possible toxic crowds makes Howes job harder. Unless of course behind the scenes they are confident of getting players in to replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I love the idea that we're winning the propaganda war We've said basically fuck all compared to their fleet of media bellends, and yet we're winning? Maybe it's because to the objective eye, they've behaved like cunts. I also like the guy who thinks they'll get Isak for £50m next summer because of all this. Absolute dreamer. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the noise from the scouse client "journalists" we have zero idea what's really going on or being said, behind the closed doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 43957 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) 2 hours ago, Alex said: Got me thinking about that Irish twat on YouTube going on about Liverpool having always been one of the biggest clubs in the world. They were in the second division and had never won the FA Cup (still the biggest domestic prize then) when Real Madrid were winning their 5th European Cup We'd won the then prize competition in English football 6 times (six) before they won it for the first time in 65. Liverpool invested big time for a then 2nd division club and nothing wrong with that but obviously it was ok then but not so much when they've sorted themselves. See arsenal in the late 20s/early 30s. Edited August 13 by Howmanheyman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
