    NUFC.com is saying that the Larsen deal is now close, thats not normally the type of sh*t that they publish...

    oh, and Isak is staying, apologising to every fcuker tomorrow, and will be in the line up against Leeds because an all knowing, all seeing being called Interim Merlin (from Riyadh along with his blue tick on Twatter) has said so.

    He is also saying that it is the PIF, FSG, Redball sh*te that someone else previously mentioned somewhere that is the root cause of this hullaballoo.
    Dead good the internet, innit!
    Keep "our fully focused and extremely still happy to be here" eternal hero Alex, sign big Jorg, nab Wissa and sell Harvey Barnes and we could well win the Champions League as well as the domestic treble dontcher think <laugh>

    I agree with most of what you say but the club can't IMO be criticised for not trying to replace Wilson as from press reports we clearly have. There is some merit in debating the reasons for that failure but whoever is in charge is dealing in the real world and not the easy confines of a football forum.
    I'll criticise based on facts but I'm loathe to criticise based on rumours and hearsay.
    Isak I would keep and not sell. I would tell him that there is no chance in he'll of him being sold now or ever to the Victims. I would tell him he has 2 options.
    1. Sign a new contract for 3 years at an increased salary with a release clause set at a price we are wanting, say £150M payable in 2 instalments. Release clause effective only next summer and not to the Victims.
    2. Train and play as we direct or be hit with a maximum fine every week for the next 3 years.
    With Isak we need to set an example on behalf of ourselves and on behalf of football. Forest did it recently with Gibbs-White and we need to follow their lead. Players have had too much power for far to long and it needs to be reined in.

    My two options to present to Isak

    1. Tell Isak we are selling him to a Saudi club for £150m and he can move anywhere he wants after a year.
    or
    2. We inform him we are sacking him for breach of contract, starting legal proceedings to claim damages for £150m and we will retain his licence for the full 3 years.

    Not sure if we are allowed these days to retain his registration. Otherwise, I wouldn't be against your suggestion.

    The Isak 'solution' is to sell him and reinvest the funds on three quality players. There's never going to be a situation where the owners do anything clever or weird, just like they've never loaned us Neto, Toney, etc., and not overspent massively on someone like Willock.

    He'll go, because he's a self-centred bloke who's been badly advised by a greedy prick of an agent. The club's sloth-like posturing is pointless. If we knew he wanted to go, the best thing we could've done is alerted the 4 or 5 clubs who could afford him to his availability, and an over-inflated price. PSG, Real, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea and at a push Bayern and Barca. Fellas, Isak wants out, price is set at £150m. All it takes it two bits of interest to get the deal done quickly.

    Then we could've moved on to the players he puts under threat - Torres at Barca, Rodrigo at Real, Ramos at PSG, etc. And still had plenty of cash to get a replacement for Wilson. It just appears to have been badly handled, is all.

    Yup. Location is apparently Riyadh too. It'll be a Liverpool fan.

    I’d rather we just let him rot. He’ll be blowing out his arse without a pre season, even when fully fit he only ever puts a 60 minute shift in.
