It really depends on what the contract is but a signed contract in football once you sign your our player Recruitment is completely different you can resign from a job, or it could be a temporary contract etc that you can leave whenever you want. It's completely different. Sadly that isn’t quite true. Mic09 is pretty bang on with his “contracts mean nothing” comment. I deal in contracts all the time and generally until someone starts performing the contract it’s barely worth the paper it is written on. I’m unfamiliar with the terms of footballers’ contracts but I’d wager there are cooling off periods and get out clauses and effective dates all based on payment of fees and sign on bonuses and what have you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely different. I'm not sure how it works in football, but i'm sure a football contract is essentially just a contract of employment, no different to what we sign. The reason why it means 'nothing' is that a player can sign, 3 minutes later Barcelona call him up and say they want him. He says he wants to go there, he will not play in the club he just signed for, and that's that. The club has to let him go, what't the point of having millions of pounds of an asset sitting at home. Plus there must be some sort of a 'cooling off period' involved. It's not done until it's done. Edited August 9, 2018 by Mic09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we let him have his medical there first and then give him a quick call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Would it be devious to give his agent a call, offer to double his money to try to turn his head, wait as the drive up, stick them in some un air-conditioned room and BRB, give it an hour or so then inform them that we've changed our mind? But in all seriousness it probably happens a lot, other clubs hijacking deals. Malcom to Barca for instance. Disappointed, as he looked an attacking threat but we're Aston Villa and we just move on to other targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I wonder how Bryan thinks about being a backup option. That's basically what he is in Fulham's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yeah, shame in a footballing sense for us but bridges burnt. Actually a victim of the Twitter #ITK's isn't he. In the old days we'd never have known more than us being interested. Can't hold it against him if he wants to play PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 It's been funny to watch Bristol City fans revelling in us missing out. Clearly they are still hurt from us putting them into free-fall after whopping them 5-0 last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
