OK, but wasn't your main point about Josh Tymon? Some people on here didn't rate him and some even appeared to want his career to fail after Hull City but after a bit of a stutter he seems to be doing OK doesn't he?
Even though they can't even go to support the team.
It says a lot about the 'Get behind the lads and manager thing and I'm afraid I'm going to have to say it again.
How the **** can we do that?
'
And good luck to him but he could have done that playing for his home town club. That was my point. Young players just breaking though in the game and making a name for themselves also throw themselves at the mercy of an agent who probably has half a dozen or more similar players under his belt.
Agents prime objective is money and how to get more of it for less. Which isn't always the best advice. It may bump up their commission but does it always further the career of a young impressionable footballer ?
If he’d wanted to earn 80% less and play at a lower level...
You wont object if KLP leaves in a fortnight for the same reasons then ?
You suggested his agent was only interested in money, not the best interest of his client, but in this case he just did his job and got his client a far better deal.
And if KLP leaves in two weeks, I’ll just pop it on the list, under Ehab ****-up No.238.
This time last month KLP was the first name on the team sheet, enter his agent and the **** hits the fan. So if it isn't about money, what is it about ? knowing that KLP has said that he is not money motivated, so who is in this case ?
I’m pretty sure he’s some relation to someone I know. I wonder if he’s going to end up at Stoke too
It’s no secret, it’s about contract length.
The whole point of a new deal like this, is to improve his terms, reward his success and to secure a future asset. Ehab, as is so often the case, just manages to make player want to leave instead.
I thought Ehab was just trying to tie KLP to the club on a longer contract, like the club have been doing with a lot of younger players ? That surely is the chairman's job, keeping hold on his best young talent ? You quoted the Tymon episode on another thread and in that case the club lost out, so don't you think it is wise of Ehab not to want the same to happen here ?
What ever are the facts behind this KLP disagreement it should not be played out in the public domain. But obviously the owners want the best deal for the club and likewise KLP's agent wants the best deal for his player, which must stick in the throat of the owners, as it does mine because he has been a Hull City player since the age of 8. It was the club who developed him and brought him on, not the agent.
Personally I think the agent ( if indeed it is the agent) is giving KLP bad advice at this stage in his career just as he is developing into a regular first team player. This is not the time to be holding the club to ransom over money when they have none coming in. But it is the right time if the agent is trying to negotiate a move for 'his' player ?
Unsure as to what KLP's wage rise would be if he started the next match, but it may improve the situation a touch if he were to start it. Goodwill never goes amiss.
Totally agree, unless there is more to this then we can imagine, like KLP suddenly triggers a massive pay rise or bonus the next time he starts a game, but surely it cannot be that large to want to keep him as a sub for the rest of his days and he never starts a game for us again?
The club have ten/eleven days to sort this out, on the quiet, just get around a table and do it, away from the public glare.
Unless one side don't want it resolved ? Which tells you either KLP has been tapped up by another club or City have been given the nod that another club is willing to pay good money for him in a fortnight ?
Either way this could de- rail the season like the Bowen departure last year.
I just listened to McCann's frosty post-match interview with Burnsy on the Pompey game, and the reply he gave to Burnsey on the KLP Saga strikes me as if he said too much the last time and has had a flea in his ear from Ehab.
And that surely tells us all we need to know?
Never mind the rights or wrongs of the new contract.
Yet Enob & McCann openly demand that he be committed to the club. Silly ****s.
I suspect McCann was fed up of defending the indefensible and wanted to make it clear that not starting him wasn’t his decision.
It’s obviously not really helped him.
