Agreed .. where exactly were the negotiations? It just dead ended immediately… very suss.
20m on a player is not immediately 20m lost…. If the player flops then there’s the option to sell at a loss less than 100%
And if one’s not as hopeless as we’ve been in the transfer market there’s potential to even earn on your 20m spec
With a manager this isn’t the case (or at least very unlikely)
So it’s giving up a full liquid 20m straight up
This is not something I agree with on a relatively unproven manager and why your analogy doesn’t stand up
That’s a fair point. Manager’s don’t last as long as players.
