But I don't quite understand how he has the power to stop a transfer if the board wants it. Surely it's their decision, not his? Which is why I mentioned has he now a problem with us just a question or observation rather than a statement ?

sphericalfox Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 2 minutes ago, justfoxes said: Not making shit up just wondering why owners & board say yes but puels digging his feet in? Maybe contractually he does have the FINAL say for transfers. Who knows. All this bs about Puel being spiteful is a nonsense when if it literally was any other manager or any other club with the same scenario, it woul dbe very simple that the manager is looking after the team's best interest, and a lack of replacement readily available for transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 Puel is probably the worst person that could be in charge for us to try and get this deal done. a.) He's probably still bitter about being sacked b.) He knows how we operate and how to squeeze more out of us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 8 minutes ago, Gerard said: if that's the case then surely the St Etienne hierarchy and Puel will thrash it out between themselves and agree a strategy of either to keep him or sell at a certain price. I think we're right to sit tight with our offer and see how this one plays out. It plays out when West Ham or Villa or Everton turn up with the readies.

Haywood_6 Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 They know Fofana doesn't want to be there, that changes how the team/fans and manager feel about him and could affect his performance. Sounds like we've made a very good offer, so i'd leave them to stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerrrFox Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 (edited) Like I said before in this thread. Puel has shown himself to be a Grade A Twat again with this. He’s tried to bully both the club he works for and Fofana into getting his own way. He doesn’t want to sell to us and will do anything to stop it. He’s making the transfer unnecessarily difficult for all parties. Now the club have to go against their manager by selling a player for the pre-agreed sum after his tantrums in the media.

manders86 Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 €30m if accurate is a massive fee for a Ligue 1 club to turn down, if they do. I hope we get this one done, and I suspect we will. Once Claude has time to digest it from the outside. Im sure he will know our transfer policy inside out, but Covid changes how far we are looking to go with deals I imagine.

Imagine that tough choice. Or they sack him for refusing to accept the board's decision. Especially if his current delaying tactics mean that if/when we do sign Fofana, they don't have enough time to sign a replacement with the money... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 How are St. E for strikers? We could let them have Gray as a makeweight in the deal. He isn’t a striker - but Puel doesn’t know that 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 Bloody Claude. Stopping Fofana from visiting national treasures such as, The National Space Centre, Walkers Crisps factory and such like. Keeping him tied up in a shithole like Saint-Etienne is a disgrace.

Pliskin Posted 17 September 2020 Share Posted 17 September 2020 If the club want to sell, they will. They have been hit pretty badly by CV, and I don’t think it’s the clubs intention to keep him if they get an offer they can’t refuse. Puel’s opinion means Jack shit, he doesn’t invest into the club financially so if the price is right, he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put yourself in his shoes, how would you feel if the club you played for said you could move on to a bigger club, in a bigger league (with a substantial pay increase may I add) if the asking price is met. That asking price is then met and your manager does everything he can to stop it? Puel’s even refused to sit down like a decent human and discuss it with him to try and find a solution.
