@doctor_mac Get the good tinned beans.
you can have the branston ones that have been in this cupboard for a year
Yeah one of the pair. Not both this summer.
Erling Haaland looks set to join Manchester City this week and Cadena SER in Spain report why Real Madrid decided against going for the Norwegian striker.
The Spanish outlet report that the late Mino Raiola, Haaland’s former agent, asked for a release clause of €150 million in his second season at Madrid.
The clause would have meant that if things were not going well for the striker, he would have the option of leaving the club for €150 million.
Madrid club president Florentino Pérez reportedly decided against the clause, admitting that he could not afford to make such an investment in a player who could leave the club in the next couple of years and join a rival side.

Probably the best site I've seen for finances. They have a paid version that charges €999 per month

And how much does it say Diaz earns per week bluebell?
I quoted a source such as Eurosport, have a go at them.
I'm a bit lost on this. To get Haarland you need to pay €70-75m (allegedly) and about €25m/year in salary. Raiola wanted a release clause of €150m from year 2. Unless the contacted wages still fell due (which seems weird if the contact was bought out) this still represents Harland for one year €75m + €25m outgoings (plus agents fees etc) and €150m incoming. Surely not the end of the world unless you know Haarland is going to fuck off after one season? Seems weird he'd leave RM after just one season
Bayern Munich are planning a summer move for Liverpool and Senegal forward Sadio Mane, 30, with the German giants having already made contact with the player's agent.

They would more or less break even over these figures but of course more agents' fees and add ons (plus tax on both deals) would be due I'd imagine. I'd agree with RM in that is it worth the risk? And only 3 teams that could afford him at present (PSG, City and United).
German publication BILD has reported today that the total amounts for signing Borussia Dortmund and Norwegian megastar Erling Haaland will total some €355m. This is how it would be broken down, according to them:
- €75m for his release clause + €10m in add ons
- €40m commission for Mino Raiola company (Haaland’s agent)
- €30m commission for Alf-Inge Haaland (Erling’s father)
- €40m in wages per year spread over five years (€200m in total)
- Total: €355m
(Not getting at you Froggie)
That makes even less sense to my simple mind. Either a release clause is a release clause - a clause that releases you from a contract. Add-ons don't make sense to me. Even with all the figures above I still don't get the RM reported position. As @Frogfish states there are only 3-4 possible places Haarland could jump ship to after one year. the market is really tiny. So for an (ridiculously hign) upfront investment they would get a season from Haarland and then run the relatively small risk of him moving on for which the books would just about balance. The only reasons I see not to do it are:
- RM realise that it is an insanely expensive transfer that will set standards for others and for salary bargaining
- RM believe that Haarland would want to move away from Madrid after one season
Haaland would want to move time and time again if those are the fees his father and agent are making with a transfer.
Good move for him
I've e-mailed a guy I know who's a season ticket holder at Pittodrie asking about this lad.
Now we can FINALLY move Trent into midfield
Or maybe Gomez to a new club.
From experienced old heads to someone who just won League 2. Talk about extremes.'
[article]Watford Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Rob Edwards as its new Head Coach, effective after the conclusion of the current 2021/22 season.
Rob had a contractual provision allowing him to leave Forest Green Rovers at any time to discuss employment opportunities at other clubs and the Hornets are delighted to confirm our discussions concluded today.
Rob joined Forest Green Rovers as Head Coach in 2021, where his attractive brand of football took the Gloucestershire side to the top of Sky Bet League Two – winning the division earlier this month for the first time in the club’s history. His efforts were recognised by the EFL when he collected the League Two Manager of the Season award.
His debut in the professional game came just after his 20th birthday and was handed to Rob by none other than the late, great Graham Taylor OBE for Aston Villa in December 2002. A successful playing career including the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Blackpool was cut short by injury after just over a decade.
Rob quickly moved into coaching roles, initially within the Wolves academy. He led the Under-18 and Under-23 sides, while also experiencing an interim spell in charge of first-team affairs in 2016.
Success with Wolves’ Under-23s saw Rob win promotion to the Premier League 2, the highest division in English youth football, and his stock rose further as both Head Coach of England’s Under-16 side and a coaching role in the Young Lions’ Under-20s set-up.[/article]
