By far the most sensible option for Maja is to say thank you but I will see out my contract until the summer and review my options then. I am not signing a new contract now and I am also not allowing you to sell me like a piece of meat to someone who suits you. Pickford put £30m in Short’s coffers and Carroll £35m in Ashley’s. Maja needs to do what is best for Maja not Donald and his mate.
 
So we move on. Unfortunately, every time a player here is doing well, he'll get bought by another club in a better position. Same goes for every club outside the top 2 clubs in the world just about. Its disappointing but im amazed people are so surprised. Its up to the scouts and our academy to do there f***ing job and keep them coming.
 
Who knows?
One thing is for certain though he could have played tomorrow without added pressure on him.
His agent would have still rang sky though, regardless of whether or not the deadline was public. Should a deadline have been set in the first place? Until the we know the outcome we're all pretty much in the dark marra.
 
Who has put it in public domain though? It's his agent who has contacted sky. I don't think personally he has ever had any intention of signing. That is his perogative of course, hopefully club has a replacement lined up.

Who’s put it in the public domain?
Stewart Donald has.

Who is responsible for what’s happened in the public domain today? I’d have thought it’s pretty obvious

Go on.
 
He indicated he wanted to stay
His agent is pulling the strings
It was a fair offer

More like the agent told Maja to say that and keep him out of the firing line.. agent probably didn't think the club would match his offer which sort of screw his game of blaming the club ..

had to have a deadline iternally so the club could get oin with replacing him..camt justy let it drofy until the last hours of the window then not sign anyone..
 
Ah right. I’d only seen Downie say 7 time on twitter.

That being said though. Why would he tell sky 10k? He could have got 20k p/w off someone but now he’s shown his cards.

I don't know why, like many others I am just guessing and trying to understand what is going on. My assumptions may be totally wrong.

If other clubs take up the offer, then he will have secured an even bigger pay rise for his client and himself. Now its in the open, it is open house.

His client will now get a loyalty bonus as he wont put in a transfer request

Nah. Setting it in the transfer window says it all.
 
I asked you earlier but you didn't reply. If they hadn't gone public with deadline do you think he would have signed today?
No I don’t, but if the club hadn’t gone public regarding the deadline in the first place, do I think we’d have had a better chance of keeping him until the summer? Absolutely I do, yes.
 
I wonder if him telling Ross he wants to stay and today's events are linked. If that's got back to the agent he might be worried SAFC have talked him into signing as he would lose out on a slice of the fee/signing on fee.

If that actually happened. I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Sympathy for this point of view but if you get contacted by SSN is it not difficult to imagine a scenario where they aren't about to release the information?
 
Donald has messed up big time here he lives his life on twitter so cant complain when social media bites him on the arse .Backing Maja into a corner was stupid and unprofessional
Just went with what he knew and was honest. "Maja wants to sign, he's said so" it's the lying that has bit Maja on the arse, him, and/or his agent have been shown up for what they are, publically.

So where did Sky get their information from? It wasn't Donald - he was responding to a call from Sky asking for confirmation of what they'd been told. It was going to be in the public domain even if the club had taken the 5th.
