Yup.

Which is wrong, obviously.

£8m would have meant that three months into a five-year-deal, Tony Bloom decided to give GP a six-year-contract worth £50m, that - in case GP was successful - another club could buy out for £16m. It would hands down probably be the worst deal in the history of the Premier League.

 

[Hiheidi]

If they were so far out with the salary, then we need to assume The Athletic isn't a reliable source, which is key at the moment when they are the source of De Zerbi not having a release clause, where other sources say he does!

Basic Maths in it.
I would hazard a guess at £50k per week ish

Here we go (again)



To caveat, Fab hasn’t been that accurate with Brighton scoops however

Seriously wish that greasy t**t Romano would just f*** OFF now

Final confirmation that he ain't going nowhere......!

Seems to have been an influx of twitter stories about RDZ today. In today alone I have read that Inter Milan have made an approach for RDZ, another one that says RDZ is unhappy with the lack of control he has with transfers, and now this Fabrizio tweet about a release clause that could be activated in the summer.

As far as the "lack of control" in transfers I imagine come the summer Roberto will have some control with transfers. Tony and Paul ain't daft, if we qualify for Europe and/or win the FA cup they will certainly listen to Roberto in terms of players he would like.

The sooner that little cretin goes away having had his 5 minutes of fame the better.
Quite why he has little harem of teenage boys who believe everything he says is beyond me.

 

[Change at Barnham]

This talk sounds eerily similar to the Potter situation which I also thought was just a load of rubbish when the rumours were reported.

 

[Springal]

so there’s no release clause, but there is an amount owed to Brighton if another club approach RDZ early then. Clear as mud

Yeah. Compensation clause is money if we say yes, but we can still say no. Release clause triggers an automatic yes, we can not say no.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Is all this nonsense really around Spurs? Potter turned down Spurs, before we get ahead of ourselves. The idea that RDZ and Levy make good bedfellows is hilarious.

There are some unbelievable jobs out there for RDZ in a couple of years. Spurs won’t be one of them and, in any case, we’ll trigger Succession Plan 2.0 when it comes.

 

[Springal]

Yeah. Compensation clause is money if we say yes, but we can still say no. Release clause triggers an automatic yes, we can not say no.

But if any club stump up £20M and RDZ wants to go would we really block him ? Doubtful

As mentioned above, Italian sources are mentioned in tweets today that Inter Milan want Roberto in the summer.

I want to win the lottery, see Brighton win the Champions League and have a night that just involves me, Konnie Huq, a pot of Vaseline and some Viagra but I can’t see all of those happening just because that’s what I want

Of course, but if Roberto wants it he'll be gone.

Not that simple unfortunately.

With players it is quite easy. Eg Darwin Nunez could pay up whatever he has left on his contract in Liverpool and join Brighton. No problem. Any player can do that. Liverpool does not own Darwin Nunez (owning people is abolished): they own his registration rights. Darwin could pay up the rest of his income with Liverpool and join Brighton instead, but he wouldn't be able to play unless the club bought the registration rights.

Managers doesn't have registration rights, making it a lot more difficult to protect them from going.

Negotiating for a manager is complicated. If Chelsea would have made GP brake his contract with Brighton without first asking for permission, no one knows what would have happened. It might have ended up in court where the outcome could have been "bloke can go wherever the f*** he wants as long as he/his new employer pays up the remainder of his contract" or it could have become "oh deary me, you can't do that, you have to pay £100m in compensation". Instead, Chelsea likely came asking and Brighton pointed at a release/buyout/compensation (whatever really, the outcome is the same) and Chelsea said "okey dokey".

No one knows what happens if club A wants the manager of club B (with the manager willing to talk) but club B refuses, because in that scenario everyone wants is to happen quick and smoothly. Clubs really dont want a wantaway manager so they get it sorted.

Sure would be interesting if Spurs or someone really, really wanted RDZ, RDZ himself wanted to go and Brighton gave them a blank no. Such a case has never been up in court, and neither has the concept of "release clauses" in general been up in court. Not likely that anyone is eager to be first either: would leave both clubs in a hopeless situation with their desired manager and the manager himself in a limbo in what could possibly take years to sort out legally.

Sorry but again you've made that up. The manager is under contract, as per contract law in this country. Breaking the contract against the club the manager would lead to them being unable to work elsewhere. If Brighton continued to honour the contract he would end up on gardening leave. Not so long ago we done just that to a senior person within the club.

I accept that Romano gets plenty correct, when fed one-sided accounts from first hand sauces. But much of it is last minute eg he’s told a transfer is done just minutes before his rivals, that’s all.

But Naylor was a diamond on the Caicedo-Arsenal impasse and appears again to know his onions. He’s proving invaluable to us with that rarity … facts.
