Indeed. If so then the deal payment details, if structured over a number of years, might mean not much net cash in this year from the sale.

According to the Mirror Liverpool are currently waiting to see the outcome of a PL and FIFA check on whether Chelsea spending £110 m complied with FFP…...

That vibe you are talking about is probably alcohol ! It’s a bit of a party city. FWIW I don’t think it’s much like Brighton. More of an edge but the friendliness thing is real. Many people you meet here have lived here all their lives as have generations of their family.

Oh, I thought you were joking ! Well, I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Don’t believe the stereotypes and don’t go on the Beatles tour (oops, too late on that one).

He has a contract. He would be destroying his own career whilst waiting for Tony to crack. I know who I would back to stay the course.

I’m sure you’re right and that it would be managed in the correct manner from our side. That would be Caicedo explicitly saying he will not join Liverpool and them withdrawing from the process. I have been a staunch supporter of Caicedo throughout this saga on the basis we don’t know the facts...

Hardly. Tony wouldn’t sell him to them under those circumstances and do you really think Caicedo would risk his career in a face off with Tony Bloom ?

Not according to the Aussie manager at Spurs when he was explaining transfers to one of the halfwit journalist today.

Yes, I suppose if Liverpool withdraw that would change things.

Sky Sports are still pushing the unsubstantiated line that Moises wants to go to Chelsea. Yesterday they kept on saying Kane staying at Spurs despite Bayern’s agreement with Spurs…they are just regurgitating spin and presenting it as fact.

That would create a precedent for other players. It would mean a BHA contract is only one sided and in the player’s favour. Hugely damaging for the club. There is nothing in Tony’s dealings that make me think he would back down in the way you suggest.

And no other club will join an auction with Brighton again. Tony and Paul value their reputations in football.

Then he stays with us. Win win.

He supports Southampton.

And then I clarified what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

I wasn’t suggesting we could. He can go to Liverpool or stay at Brighton and honour his contract.

From David Ormstein as quoted in the first post on this thread.

He isn’t being forced to do anything. He has a contract at Brighton and can stay if he doesn’t want to go to Liverpool.

We can. He is under contract at Brighton and therefore either leaves under our terms or he stays. If footballers want to do away with contracts and work on a pay as they play basis that’s fine as well. Until that time Tony holds all the aces.

To clarify, I was referring to the Chelsea bid last night.
