they might be offering him half the money we are, but he'll get it all in the first year. AVB has done OK.
He probably is. "Yes Luke, the Man Utd deal is still on." "Yes Adam, Liverpool are still interested."
They may have made initial enquiries, but wouldn't want to be in the embarrassing position of having 2 managers.
That's not the only thing he said. He also said: "The Club has been on a constant path of growth since the arrival of Markus Liebherr in 2009. This growth took place before Mauricio came, it continued strongly under his leadership, and it will continue into the next season". There's substance there if you want to find it. Let's not let him forget that promise. I don't think enough information has been made public to draw that conclusion. We'll find out eventually.
No it doesn't. As per Cortese's clause inserted into Mauricio's contract, he had to pay us £2m to walk away from his position. Which he has.
I sense the tipping point has already occurred-- ie. one or more of Shaw, Schneiderlin (who has been tossing his hair at Arsenal for awhile now), Lallana, Pochettino were already leaving or on the verge of leaving and that made everyone else want to go. MP might just be the first official domino to fall. Of course it may also just be the Board is cheap/incompetent. Can't rule that out. But I do think at this point we'll have to judge them by who they replace people with and how they do next season, rather than who they manage to retain. It should make for an interesting season next year, that's for sure.
Surely we must have got some cash? He was on contract. I hope the terms of his resignation stipulate he cannot poach players.
People criticising a Clubs statement, Jesus Christ. Just let them appoint a new guy before you go into that much detail.
