Agreed. I think going after Ashworth shows that he has realised the problems there run deeper than just changing the manager every 2 years and hoping it solves the problem.

It wouldn't work. If Newcastle offered us £100 million for Bissouma, we'd obviously want to take it. In which case the clause would need to say nobody can go to them unless we agree it. Which is exactly what the current system is anyway. Edit: Just realised you're probably talking about...

Your wasting your time. He'll never understand it. He said the other day that we had "finally stumbled across a winning formula", which says a lot about his understanding of what the Albion have been doing for the last 5 years.

Bloom has form with this stuff though. 'Aren't usually enforced' won't bother him. Remember how he dealt with Gus leaving? Sacked him for gross misconduct and refused to give him a pay off. Any other club in the league would have sacked him and paid up the contract, as is standard practice.

Why is everybody so sure that Ashworth has massively pissed Bloom off? Bloom would have been fully aware that he would lose him eventually when the right job came up. Same with Barber.

So how many of the big clubs are run by lovely people with fair-gotten gains? Should he stall his career and stay at Brighton forever because the higher up you go, the worse the owners are?

I completely understand it thanks. That's what StarLizard does. However Premier Bet, the company he founded and sold to make his first proper money, does exactly as you say. God forbid somebody moved jobs to try and better themselves. What an ********.

What a load of bollocks. There probably isn't a better project available in world football right now for a role like that. Of course he was always going to go, as would virtually anybody else in his position who has ambition. Good luck to him. I'm sure he'd prefer the money funding it came from...

They are indeed. But in those industries rival companies don't come and BUY those people. I can't see why on Earth we would want to put a clause in like that. What if they came and offered £100 million for Bissouma and we wanted to take it? It would make no sense to have a clause like that, as...

I'd go if I were him. It's an amazing project for someone like him, there probably isn't a better one in the world at the moment. Let alone the fact it will sort him and his family financially for life. No-brainer. I understand reservations about the owners, but that's the business he's in...

I think the thread went off topic a long time ago to be fair!

Yep. And if you don't like your job and feel you aren't paid enough, then start your own business. "I can't", lot's of people will say. Thing is, you can. Or the vast majority of people could, anyway, they just don't want to take the risk. Which is fine.

Exactly right. The post you quoted is just bitterness personified. I mean, seriously. Embarrassing.

I have friends that both work full-time, both big earners, and both absolutely work themselves in to the ground so they can pay as much as possible into their mortgage. I just don't get it. They might be dead by the time it's paid off. I'd rather use any extra capital to enjoy my life more NOW...

Same. I also want a six pack. Not badly enough to get one. I said in the first post I had no idea what he is on- I just plucked that figure out the air so it made sense to stick with it. He's probably on more like £1 million a year, I expect. Still nowhere near enough for someone like him to...

You might has well have just written "I'm jealous of rich people". It would have been a lot quicker.

No, he's going to downgrade his lifestyle and go to Crawley instead.

So it does work then.

Yes, but why would you? We're talking about Ashworth going to Newcastle. He's hardly going to go and work for Crawley and downgrade his house, is he? The privately educated people you are talking about are running the country! I'm not sure how you can say that is evidence that it doesn't work...

Haha yep, very true.
