    Totally! I’d agree, if it wasn’t for the fact that Forest are accusing us of breaking the rules. They’re seemingly not bothered about it being a small group. Again, I’m not criticising the Spurs strategy, and I agree there is a method to it. But it’s fascinating to think about the different...

    You’re likely completely right. I very much agree with your last point. It’s not that I don’t understand why we’re being silent, it’s more just I would love to understand the specifics around the calculations of our decision making. As in ‘Maranakis has done this. What’s our next move? When do...

    I feel like MGW at least for now is playing the role of ‘I’ve never said I wanted out, I’ve kept up in training, I suited up for the game’, I feel like that is all very deliberate, and what Spurs would want him to do if they were crafting the narrative that they did nothing wrong.

    Not sure. Fighting fire with fire in the press? At least getting their side out a bit more? I’m going with the idea that we’ve done nothing wrong. If that’s the case, what’s the rationale for being silent? Surely putting your case out there too has equal benefit? Perhaps it is payment terms...

    I don’t fully understand why silence is the correct strategy if we’ve met the release clause. But I do assume there is a method to the Spurs play here, I’m not convinced the issue is that we spoke without permission because there will be ample evidence that Forest have done the same thing...

    Ok! But I was going by the Forest journos and the line they were putting out. I’m sure I mentioned that in my first post on the subject. I wasn’t claiming any special insight. Merely looking to discuss an interesting and unique situation. Did you read the Forest journos on the day Romano Here...

    I’m not sure what you’re responding to exactly. The journos for each club have their line that they put out. The Forest tone definitely changed from one day to the next, that’s all I’m saying. Not claiming anything definitively happened other than that.

    I was reading the journos with a line into Forest the day it was announced, and then the day after. You can see the tone shift.

    They thought it was good to go until the owner got involved. The sourcing from their side was a tone of resigned disappointment, but only turned into righteous anger a day or so later.

    Personally I’ve always said that I’d be stunned if Spurs had done anything actually wrong. Equally I do like to debate and discuss the other side of these things, just because it’s interesting to figure out how this situation has arisen when we have limited information. I’m not sure who the guy...

    Yeah, it’s entirely plausible that City decided to see if they could do a deal for better terms than the release clause, and decided that Forest wouldn’t budge before moving on. I think also plausible that if the clause was indeed secret, it held at the point of the City enquiry. I guess we’ll...

    I definitely have an up and down view of Levy but it absolutely does have me rolling about laughing that he does stuff like this. Equally deducting the fee for the Spurs shirts in the Modric deal was it? And Simon Jordan is Levy’s mate? It must draw a wry smile every time he does something...
  13. SissokoWasGood (BoL)

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    Yeah…this is the hope. Maybe the Spurs strategy is to call their bluff, and wait to see if any action actually does get filed. Then they’ll put their case forward. As it is, Forest haven’t actually done anything, and so we’re letting the empty threats play out. Massively agreed that you’d...

    I remember Levy renegotiating the fee for Hugo at the 11th hour and Aulas being tinkled? I may have that wrong also…time flies.

    I will say having continued chatting with Forest fans, one of the points they seemed fair from their point of view is that it looked like a lot of the journos with contacts at Spurs are really going hard on the release clause point. If I look at Ornstein and a couple of the other ones that would...
