Hopefully its settled quickly and all parties can just move on. No, really. And I would not just blindly take advice regardless of whether it is right or wrong. I can't believe you have written that. Personally I think it is about self respect, ie not wanting to behave like a shyster and also respect for the club. You can take that as being pompous if you like. You're probably right. I agree with you that I also hope it is settled quickly and a way can be found to satisfy all three parties without anyone being taken for a ride.

Gerard Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 (edited) 10 minutes ago, 4everfox said: So you think a player who has been getting paid 100 grand a week for the past two years has earned a 7.5 million pound bonus? Rubbish. He's had enough. The club will have paid him about £15m in wages since he joined us. We'll earn £75m in profit on his transfer fee so that's £60m better off we are after paying him. Without Mahrez there would be no title or Champions League football. He has earned this club a net profit of £100m+. If you came up with an idea at work that earned your company over £100m you'd probably feel aggrieved if they tried to stiff you out of a few quid. I couldn't care less if he got it or not btw, on one hand I believe he deserves it and on the other hand business is business and I'd rather see the club with the money than making Mahrez and Joorabchian a few million quid richer.

ithuriel Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 (edited) He deserves nothing, we gave him the platform, he performed after some coaching from Pearson and crew, we paid him well, gave him the contract he wanted and he was idolised but a little further down the line he wanted out on his terms and got arsey about it. The owners gave him his request and now he wants a loyalty bonus because of withdrawing his request, I'd tell him straight, no transfer request, no transfer.

FoxyPalace.com Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 Not to sure about a Loyalty bonus? But I guess he would qualifier for the Whinging, Half trying, Throw your toys out of the Pram Bonus! Think he is better and bigger than the club. Cash in on him, take Man City to the cleaners as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_marshall Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 This really isn't a difficult decision to make if you're Riyad Mahrez and you want a move to a perceived big club. In fact it's black and white as far as I see it. Speaking from personal experience having sacrificed sizeable bonuses to facilitate moves to bigger and better companies, if he genuinely wants his move he just needs to take the hit. He'd make the money up pretty quickly on improved terms, bonuses, sponsorship, image rights, and future salary increases. To think otherwise would be very naive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 (edited) Are we contractually obliged to give him a payoff? If not, he can f**k off.

baldeagle Posted 24 June 2018 Share Posted 24 June 2018 If this is true which no one knows for sure then he really does want his cake and eat it and he’s a bigger shit arse than we thought. It’s a pity because he’s seriously been fantastic for us when he’s felt like it but all this carrying on will start to muddy how people will remember him which is a shame . And asking for s loyalty bonus IF true is a bit like Hitler trying to tell you he was just misunderstood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not doing anything wrong under the terms of his contract. His transfer request withdrawal if anything would imply that he intends to stay rather than leave. I'm afraid the ball is firmly in his court now if we have indeed agreed a fee with Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid the ball is firmly in his court now if we have indeed agreed a fee with Man City. I think how it works is we are contractually obliged to give him 10% of the transfer fee when he moves but putting in a transfer request nullifies his 10% rights. It's all semantics though as we can force him to put in another transfer request or ask him to waive his rights to this fee. It would then be up to Mahrez whether he did this if this was essential in getting the transfer through. If we're prepared to not allow the transfer to go through unless he waives his rights to this money then it's up to Mahrez to either do what Leicester request or stay here and not go to Man City. Obviously all the power is with Leicester here if we want to play hardball and we might as he's got his transfer requested granted by proxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rewarded Mahrez's performances in the title winning season with a contract worth over 20 million quid. I'd say that is sufficient to be honest. He got a rise of about 500%, we owe him nothing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even drinky might be pushing him after just one years! Whichever way you look at it, trying to squeeze another several million out of the club when you've been earning five million a year is just pure greed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
