"this summer"?

Not that I feel sorry for Chelski in this case but Spurs have a kind of similar situation in Ndombele. I think certain players now a days have far too much powers and that the clubs should have more power when their players turn "very difficult" to deal with - like, f.ex., the clubs should be allowed to drastically reduce a player's salary if he become "impossible" to deal with. I know this is a complicated territory but some new rules and regulations should be put in place.

 
Maddison is one nasty tackle away from going missing all season..

Can't be signing players thinking "what if he breaks his knee ending his career"..then can't sign anyone
There's a difference between an injury away from going missing for a season, and a problem thats there for life. We can't knowingly bring in players that are likely to miss more games than they play.
Anderton, King, Lamela, Sessegnon this nonsense has to stop.

I never quite understood why any employee can terminate my employment contract if all I do is scratch my ball sack but football clubs can’t terminate footballers contracts who do fuck all.
tbh to footballers I never quite understood why clubs have property rights in them on the other hand
 
Crazy money in the Arab footy league


Al-Ittihad, who are managed by former Spurs and Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, have offered Liverpool £150million for the superstar.

A five-year contract is on the table, with a near-£100million basic salary, a private jet or unlimited plane tickets for his family and an offer to become an ambassador for tourism and investments in Saudi Arabia - which will further boost the player's pay.

In total the deal would eclipse the £173m salary of Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

There is also the possibility to have shares of a team in the future, as the Saudi government and League want teams to be owned by private owners mid term.
It’s probably a bit late in the window now but If I was Liverpool I would squeeze them for £175 million and take the money

Not that I agree with it but....
Sports team players are contracted to club for X amount of years, whereas you are contracted indefinitely
Football players have a high purchase and sale value, you do not
If a player is sacked they may end up playing for a rival team making them better. Chances are if you get sacked you'll end up in a totally different job.

I don't like the situation but that's why it's different to the ordinary man in the street.
It's also why teams seem to tolerate poor behaviour too. You and I would get sacked for the shit players get up to.

Well all Ndombele is done is be too heavy and play shit. There will lots of court action against the clubs if they do this.
