Gringo Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The Chelsea CEO Marina Granovskaia, played hardball with Juventus refusing to give in until Chelsea got a very significant compensation payment, Mel should similarly play the same game as her and refuse to give permission for talks until there is also a very significant payment agreed. The figure of £4m mentioned will hardly compensate for the situation of losing a manager this close to the new season, Lampard is under contract and we have no obligation to allow anybody permission to talk to him. Mel stand firm do not do a Theresa May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Chelsea held on until they got the compensation to pay up sarris contract which you would expect to be entitled to with any manager poaching. That’s all. Wasn’t particulary hard ball stuff, juve were just playing silly buggers. Every report so far has said Chelsea are more than willing to pay the full amount to us of 4m, so we have no reason to play hard ball imo. We don’t have to accept it of course, but really it’s not fair to stop a manager who wants to leave (not good business for that matter, given they won’t be happy in the role) when you’re getting everything you’re really entitled to. We should conduct ourselves with dignity and respect and let frank speak to Chelsea if they’re happy to pay the full 4m, which it sounds like they are. Regardless 4m is an excellent fee imo, almost unprecedented for a championship manager so I wouldn’t be complaining, I think that’s fantastic business by Mel. No need for this to turn nasty, Lampard has conducted himself excellently as manager here, so we should be just as respectful if he wants to leave.

maxjam Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'd go the other way... pay the 4m and he's yours - also, I'll ignore the tapping up (if thats true) for first choice of loans whilst Frank remains your manager ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works both ways, Wrong about the compensation for Sarri, contractually it was £5m Chelsea actually negotiated £8m according to Usa press, they want something we have got we need to stand firm, we are in the right.

They negotiated some clauses which means it could rise to 8m based on performances as far as I could tell in the media (potentially more). So while they probably will get more than it, the 5m is the base compensation they’ve received now still. I would expect potentially similar clauses in any move Lampard makes, but the base compensation will still be 4m. Chelsea will be more than happy to Chuck a million or so our way if he wins the league for instance, I’m sure. No need for a battle here. It’s not a player transfer.

I've long harboured the thought that it would be life enhancing to adopt @DarkFruitsRam7 and / or @Millenniumram. It is with great sadness that I concede that (on the basis of one pithy response) @Asheville Ram is better qualified for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel stand firm do not do a Theresa May. You clearly have a limited grasp of negotiation, which involves taking account of the relative strengths of the parties involved and are reminiscent of the Black Knight. Be it player or manager if they want to move on it is futile to ignore reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Any chance Jody Morris and Chris Jones who you'd imagine would both join Frank can fetch another 1 million? Taking the total figure to 5 million! More than fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Well if it’s £4 mil in his contract as suggested in the press then that’s what we will get. How can we negotiate more? I’d be more tempted about keeping a good relationship for a couple of loans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
