He’s in s dark place right now!! ??Oh come on behave man !! Dark place utter utter bullshit 

Why the anger ?

 

Can’t be easy knowing you messed up and have to come back and face the men who will truly judge you , your team mates, I’m sure He knows he messed up and the longer it’s left the harder it gets 

 

I don’t have sympathy for him but as someone who has messed up in life I can understand and empathise with where he is likely to be mentally right now. 

 

They are humans after all and he has always struck me as particularly fragile sort of person , he has made a huge huge mistake and I’m sure it’s mentally quite a mess for him.

What makes you think he’s at the stage of regretting his actions? Unless I’ve missed something, for all we know he might still be pissed off and feel mistreated.

We all mess up. We all drop bollox - God knows my life is littered with em. Only way out of it EVER is to stick on your big boy trousers, man the Fuchs up and face the music. 

[RowlattsFox]

I understood giving him a couple of days at the end of last week to recover from the disappointment but it’s ridiculous if he’s still not back in training, even if it’s with the development squad. 

 

What are they having ‘talks’ about? Whether he turns up for his ****ing job or not?? 

 

The longer he leaves it the worse it will be for him to come back into the squad.

All self inflicted though, sick of the depression, dark place, bollocks, 

 

Be grateful what you have got, and don’t

worry about what you haven’t!!

 

coming from the poor background he’s come from, makes his actions all the more. Disgraceful

Yep I have to agree

 

he is acting like a complete and utter Bell Frank now and I’m not surprised a lot of people are losing respect for him

[the fox]

Let's hope the Ewing theory works for the team because so far it doesn't look too promising without riyad. at the moment, the gap between the club and spurs (45 points. 5th in the league) is the same as the gab with newcastle (25 points, 16th in the league) 10 points!

Fairly obvious now that he's staying away until after or so he can't be considered for the Man City game.

I think one thing this whole saga has highlighted is that transfer fees need to be regulated. We can either go the Spain and Portugal route and everyone must have a release clause or we go back to fees being settled by tribunal. Both clubs were willing to make the deal, Mahrez wanted to go, settle it at a tribunal.

 

The other consequence will be players start signing shorter contracts, basically looking at yearly rolling contracts and moving around for free a lot more frequently.

I think there is a lot in what you say. I do wonder how much longer transfer fees and the proxy ownership of players associated with them can be allowed to continue.

the man is just talking to a camera and still looks so nervous . that guy is a mess and he's been that way well before this transfer fiasco!

[FrankieADZ]

still have to laugh at some of the other clubs fans and ones from abroad who think we are ungrateful and should let him leave on the cheap, shame they dont have a clue

 

the longer this goes on the worse its reflecting on Mahrez imo, shame hes gots some right idiots advising him and an agent whos just after money and no really interest in the player

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

He needs to grow up, and stop being selfish. He is everyone down, including himself. Big baby imo.

Agree with you.

 

Regardless of what happens with Mahrez, if you sell your bests players you are going nowhere - see Southampton. Selling your best player with two days left to go on transfer deadline day is madness, and luckily our owners aren't muppets. If we sell Mahrez in panic, then it will be Maguire, Ndidi, Vardy next. For the first time maybe EVER we are in a place where we could become a team that regularly contests for 7th place and maybe above. We can all understand Mahrez being upset, though it doesn't excuse his behavior. I expect he will now "go to war" with the club which would be a sad end. But at the end of the day the point is that if you sell your best players, you will never progress. The owners know we made a huge mistake with Kante's clause, which is why no other player will get one unless it's an insane fee.

Very sensible post

 

i agree 

[Legend_in_blue]

I expect we're fining the player on a minute by minute basis.  Based on a 100k a week, assuming 5 hours of training per day and 90 minutes on a Saturday with Sundays off, that equates to roughly £63 per minute or £3780 per hour.  Lazy ****er. 

 

Sort your **** out and get your backside back at the training ground.

It takes all kinds I suppose. Honestly, I'm at a loss as to how you think an employee who refuses to turn up for work can in anyway shape or form envoke human rights issues when he is stopped being paid. Do you know of anyone who has done this? Is it a " human right" to go on strike and still get paid ?  if so I'm having some of that. But you are right about one thing it's not rubbish it's gibberish.

 

Not reading this properly are you.

 

When signing the contract there are stipulations in how often we can fine him, we can’t hold him on to him and keep finining him, it’s against his rights. Now what your missing is in the normal world the employee in question would be released from his contract after being fined a certain amount of times and subsequently be taken to court released from his contract and sued for breach of contract. 

 

For obvious reasons, we aren’t going to do that. As he’s a commodity to us. We can fine him a certain amoun of times, after which he hold all the cards. In any other walk of life he’d be ****ed but in this situation it’s quite different.

 

If you know better please do enlighten us all into what happens which I notice you’ve failed to do as you actually have no idea.

I've never seen a footballer'ss contract so I have no idea if we can keep fining him for missing training.

 

i suspect there is some clause about the players obligations but whether or not we can repeatedly fine him I don't know.

 

Mahrez is 26 more or less at his prime and has 2.5 years left on his contract.  While we could lose £60m or so, he could lose the best years of his career.

 

He may think he holds all the cards but with billionaires as owners he doesn't.

If you park your car illegally every week for the next 2 years then you'll receive a fine every week for the next 2 years.

 

If I go on strike for 2 years I won't get paid for 2 years.

Have you heard of the miners strike?

 

 

Would be two great points if having a professional footballing contract was anything like being fined for parking illegally or having a full time mining contract in the 1980s.

 

we might be able to stop his pay that’s a different matter (although I doubt it).... we can’t keep fining him there are laws that dictate stand offs like this have to be resolved after a certain amount of time.

I think its time we let it be known that we fully expect him back.

 

The longer we leave this the more it looks like we are behaving with sympathy towards him because we've done something wrong. We've done nothing wrong at all.

 

We can't normalise losing a player for numerous matches because we rejected a bid for him.

What's his real value today after going in strike ?! 

And if this situation persist to the summer , at what price he will be sold ?    

[420Hashish]

I've been cut from my team permanently because of my ACL injury and this guy goes on strike for over a week because he didn't get his move even though he plays week in week out, the fans love(d) him, and he makes over 100k a week. Just look 4 years back and he should be grateful how far he came.
