Something about the release clause still being negotiated??
Hope Kieran gets rid of him. | |

In situations like this. I am much happier if I check back in a few hours, but when I'm on my computer anyway, it is very difficult not to check every few minutes! | | | |

Agent feeds PR machine that the deal will be done with the club.
Creates expectation of imminent announcement.
Agent fuels imminent announcement to PR machine, whilst closing deal.
Negotiation on terms takes place, with the agent looking to minimise future restrictions for their client.
Further ramps external pressure for deal closure information (Fabrizio etc)
The club starts to feel pressure to give in on negotiation terms.
Agent gets their way.
Classic negotiation tactic, create pressure on the opponent
The reality is, if you ignore external noise, there is no pressure to cave in on your negotiating position. The club know he wants to sign, they need to take their time. |  | | |

but does he want to sign? I hope so , but the outward signs and info re talks with X, Y and R via his agent , whilst expected , also gives the feeling if the right offer came along, he'd be gone. |  |

There's been a handful of things, sadly. That's been one of them. He's insisting the release clause is in a similar ballpark, despite McKenna's new deal being worth 3x his current release clause. The club, naturally, wants that to bump it up.
Ashton will need a week in the Maldives once negotiations with Trimboli are over - for another year at least. | | | |

Indeed, I'm sure Town feel the same. From what I gather they're just kicking their heels - on this, plenty of other things to do obviously - just waiting for lawyers to thrash out very minor points. Deal and its terms have been agreed for a couple of days. |  | | |

They need to just pick the middle ground and run with it. If we want £20m, and they want £6m, then go for £13m. | |

What outward signs |
Brighton apparently giving McK until Wednesday for his decision? ...McKenna's people meeting with Man Utd reports ...Id class those as all outwards signs..wouldn't you ? I dont know . Were not being given any formal information , so its difficult to judge just what is going on. But its taking an age to be formalised.... It just makes me nervous / anxious ...But as usual the spin on here re my posts / comments is Im being "negative". So If being anxious about it is classed as negative then sobeit , Im past caring now tbh .
I know one thing , had I started this thread as the OP has , Id have copious comments about being "negative", or a budgie, , down votes by the bucket load...this OP gets an up vote. LOL [Post edited 30 May 2024 14:47]

Arnie - I reckon Phil and Stuart W's comments are pretty conclusive. I honestly don;t think there's anything to be nervous about. KM wouldn't have gone on his holidaybobs or whatever if it wasn't a done deal apart from a few important agenty thing details. | |

Whilst we've got you, how come the club hasn't announced Waltons contract extension? |  |

As far as I'm aware there's been nothing official on Walton? A press report in early May which said we would be taking up our option, but nothing since. | | | |

Trimboli is a cnt that's all you need to know. |
If he's as important and connected as the promo on him makes out, he should be able to convince a few decent signings to go KM's way. Having someone like him around could potentially work both ways, although no doubt he'd want a deal with the club to do that and not just support KM. |  |

I understand it's the clause about Phil's Hob Nobs that's the sticking point. He's refusing to give more that two packs for exclusive stories. [Post edited 30 May 2024 15:04]

Ah, I was just wondering as you announced it as though it were fact.

No, that was just a reaction to the Teamtalk story published earlier that day. No def info on Christian, sadly. | | | |
