For the first time in my life I will be older than the Liverpool manager.

Me too. Feels strange. Unless Roy comes out of retirement to rescue us after Arne ****s up I guess this will always be the way of things for us Buzz.

Am sure its here somewhere but apparently Lisbon lads club doubled release clause to 20m at last minute so we went for slotz..

Smells of complete bollox. So he signed a new contract whilst in discussions with us?? You can’t unilaterally change a contract ‘at the last minute’. Absolute horse dung.

Slot was their man, end of. Some people need to get over it.

Agreement made with the manger, negotiations with the club over the release fee broke down, I’m not sure why that sounds unreasonable. That’s obviously the order things went with Slot, he made it public that he wanted the job and said he hoped the clubs could work it out, which they then did after negotiation.

[kingfunk]

You can negotiate a current clause, you can’t add a clause, for example increase a buy out sum at the last minute without a new contract. I don’t believe for one minute they wanted Amorim over Slot, all the sound bites from the journos in the weeks long before we knew anything of Slot tells you that.

It was reported back in March/April that Amorim’s contractual release clause was €20m, but there was also a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ release of €10m if a top European club came for him.

So feasibly, Liverpool/Amorim thought they had the gentlemen’s agreement figure with Sporting, only for them to renege and demand the contractual release clause.

Apparently their definition of a ‘top club’ meant a team playing in the champs league (which we weren’t)

[Kenneth]

Basically, it sounds plausible but whether or it it is true is unknown. And irrelevant.

[kingfunk]

So you guys think Slot was second choice to Amorim?

[Mark79]

No idea. Just the Amorim story sounds plausible in terms of the release fee details.

[Kenneth]

I don’t know and I don’t care tbh.

[peterbread]

Weren’t they all second to Alonso anyway?
