According to CI, Papa Allam is hanging out for £2million in Compo from Lesta. It's either very cool, or it's a damnfool notion and could scupper NP's move!? http://www.hullcityindependent.net/?page=news&news_id=766
If it scuppers the move, I think that's a good thing. If this is true then the whole point, surely, is that we value him at £2m and they only want to pay £1m so as with a player the deal doesn't happen. I'd rather keep him, even after what has gone on, than have to go through changing manager and such. I've completely changed my view of him as a man but he's still a brilliant manager.
Damnfool is a great word that isn't used enough imo. If that's true I'm not sure it'll scupper the deal. Rather than us allowing NP to leave and get compensation he would just hand in his notice and we get nothing wouldn't he?
But don't you get the feeling that things have gone too far now - even if not finalized - and that he'll be too damaged? He wanted to leave. For the money. What will the players feel? Glad he's back, or will he have lost some of them? (We were told he'd denied planning to leave).
Anyone seen the video on sky sports? Pearson actually smiled, he seems rather happy about his return. **** car though..
Good on Papa Allam for holding out for as much as possible. If he gets it then great. NP is finished here now regardless, IMO. i bet most of the players will feel let down and will no longer respect him which again is not a bad thing. it looks a Win Win situation for City if the Foxes pay up. Afterall, they did pay 5.5m for Matt Mills, ffs. lol. so 2 million for 3 is a bargain, surely ?
Is this 2 million for just Pearson?? What does he want for the others?? Walshy has easily got to be worth a million by this standard!
It seems the more likely but it's not specified Papa Allam isn't daft, he's already got AP looking for the replacement which will take a fair few days to do, he knows Leicester have got loads of cash and with the next game not being for nearly a fortnight he can play as hard to get as he wants. Leicester will want NP in soon to get him training the team, it's not completely unlikely that we're asking for a **** load just to be a pain in the arse, there's no ruch for us until we have a replacement lined up.
Yeah, lets charge them £2m for Pearson and £1m each for Walsh and Shakey. And heres my valuation of the playing staff: James Harper £10,000,000 And that should put into perspective what we should ask for if he comes back for any of the others.
I dont blame the Allams for asking that but will it be ok if we go for manager already contracted and they do the same. Get a good deal ASAP and move on quickly.
