I agree. I dont think the Club could have done any more and certainly have done nothing wrong.

The agent running to sky tells you all you need to know.

Exactly. He’s boxed into a corner now either way with a player telling us he wants to sign the contract he asked for and an agent trying to find another club willing to match what we’ve agreed to with his client.

Now if that includes the hypothetical situation The Hunter gave of another club offering big money to his family as well then that makes his position even worse.

Why have I not got the best interests of Safc at heart ?My opinion is that if Donald had done this differently we would be in this position and we Safc would benefit by having Maja for longer ..Im not going to agree with everything Donald has done 99 of it has been positive but I think he's to public just my opinion

I dont think how donald has handled it has had any effect. The player and tge agents knows what offers are on the table. They have decided to take a better offer. Its all abput money sadly nothibg to do with donald

I think he's going to get stick tomorrow... Not from me I hasten to add... It could affect the rest of team.... Imagine a 3 or 4 defeat Maja gets hauled off... Or he gets a hatrick and we are all loved up.. Why do we put ourselves through it..... Any ideas from the lower leagues who might be worth a risk ?

That big black lad upfront for Blackpool was a handfull. Id have him.

Passengers? He hasn’t let the situation affect him at all until now. Why could that position not be maintained? See what happens, an offer might or might not have come in in January. I’d say far less likely to receive an offer a week ago before we went public about the Friday deadline. It was a calculated risk by Donald to try and force their hand and it backfired. That is what has happened here, and it may ultimately derail our promotion bid. Time will tell

Force their hand?
It's not a state secret that the lad was coming to the end of his contract and entitled to talk to other clubs.
The club offered Maja what was requested by his agent, not much force in evidence there either.
The club were in limbo until Maja actually signed or refused to sign the contract.
At least we know now and not 31st January.
The club can now release the funds earmarked for him to strengthen the squad.
There are plenty of clubs who want to sign a 30 goals a season striker as Maja is on course to be.
We are victim of another shitehawk agent.

He must still be dizzy if he got hold of Ross yesterday and asked to sign the contract and now today he’s public enemy number 1.

Fecking hell why would he be dizzy he has seen what the support us like he postures enough in front of the fans.

To be fair, what did he expect the reaction to he applause, cheers and chants. He changed his mind fair enough, but should have been aware of what the potential reaction could be.

I am just concerned that the situation is now so controversial and inflamed that the feel good factor we've seen so far is endangered by playing Maja.

1. It isn't.
2. It isn't.

We have a team of fairly seasoned professionals who've seen this all before and a great management team who will take it in their stride.

Agreed fair comments.
 
This thread is going to run and run for a while, could even go Gold such is the interest and attention over this saga!

I heard we'd had a 3 mill offer from a prem team but probs a load of shite.

I think that's a shite offer anarl. If Exeter can get 2.6 + sell ons for Ampadu surely we can get 3+ for Maja

How long did Ampadu have on his contract? That's really important here

I would think he wouldn’t expect a days worth of everyone going ballistic tbh. He’s done nowt wrong. Defoe did worse and nobody said owt. One second he’s signing. The next his agent has his wage demands all over the biggest sports news outlet in the country and half the fans hate him.

I don't think Donald should have publicised the deadline of today. By all means have a deadline, but no reason to tell everyone about it.
