Maguire | he stays!

man that is seriously fecked up that he won't just leave the damn club when he's clearly not wanted
 
TenHag has to do what someone like mourinho would do. Make him understand he won't even be on the bench anymore, don't register him for Europe. He leaves or he rots in the reserves.

Isn't that legally constructive dismissal, and they he would get his full salary paid out for our breach of contract, and he would be a free agent. I think. Lawyers chip in.
 
Peoblem is, he was on the bench lash night. That was ETH’s perfect moment to drop him from the squad and force him out.

Yeah, it certainly didn't help. Mr Jacob Harry Maguire certainly has an overinflated opinion of himself.
 
Well, it is what it is. If he's happy being fourth choice (5th choice?) centre back and potentially missing out with England that's his decision. I'm pretty sure Southgate has said quite a few times he wants Maguire to play regularly and that it's a worry if he's not.

Still think Spurs could do worse than put in a bid for him. He's better than Dier that's for sure.
 
I thought Ten Hag would be ruthless after taking the captaincy off him. He shouldn't have given him all this game time in pre-season. He should've also kept him off the squad the second the bid was accepted. He took half measures like when he punished Ronaldo after his strop against Spurs only to give him the captaincy against Villa two weeks later.

Of course, the club shares a huge part of the blame in all of this because they do everything at a snail's pace.
 
Just sign Evans to do his job of seating on the bench and keep him out of matchday squad.

I don't think that's the issue here. Ten Hag has told him but the 15M payout is what's compromised the deal. The "not enough time to find a replacement" reasoning is just the club dressing its windows.
 
He's fifth choice centre-back so him staying really isn't the disaster some will have you think. I think people were giddy about Pavard coming in but I'm not sure he's what we need either. Gives the clubs another year to identify a new centre-back and hopefully we can now wrap up Amrabat.

Yeah agree.

His name attracts attention but him staying won't make much of a difference to anything.
 
So he's decided to be our Bogarde. Ace.

I never blame the player in this situation, either. Unfortunately, we were just absolute fecking morons to sign him and to pay him that much.
 
It would have a good and respectable move to restart his career at west ham, and fight for his England spot. I hope we don’t see him on the pitch, but it seems we can’t bring in a defender if he’s not leaving. I hope we at least learn and stop offering average players insane wages.
 
Well, enjoy those early carabao games Harry. I wouldn’t even give you those.
 
Staying as he ‘love the club’. Doubt he’ll be getting any love off the fans, as we can see he’s now holding the club back with his unwillingness to move on. Like an ex who just doesn’t get what’s done is done. Hope he enjoys his league cup games and not playing for England anymore.
Hopefully his love of the club will stop him from creating issues as he’s not good enough to play.
 
From the outside looking in as an opposition fan, you would think Maguire would be desperate to go. Especially for his England career.

He can go to West Ham and essentially have a whole new career. A total reset at a big club where he’d be the main man again like he was at Leicester.
 
Media said it was £30m and £6m payout, is this £7m another on top of that?

Unclear; 6, 7 and 15m£ have been mentioned by different tweets / articles.
15m£ I'm not sure I see the napkin calculations for that one but maybe included some bonus or side benefits on top of wage difference, I dunno.

He could sit on his arse all season and he'd still be Southgate's first choice next summer.

One word...money
 
He's going to get booed next time be plays at Old Trafford isn't he.

Oblivious, limited and gutless.
 
Seems an idiotic move from a purely footballing standpoint, and I'm sure the wider population will be gunning for him to finally lose the England place he no longer merits.

Obviously when it comes to money he comes out on top.
 
Not really arsed anymore, not like we can replace him with a Kim. We'll just be taking a punt on one of the french league defenders. If he wants to stay then he better he ready to warm the bench most of the season, and step up when someone picks up a knock.
 
He'll halve his salary at WHUM and United are very valuable for players to monetise other revenue streams.
It's abundantly clear he isn't that keen on going to WHUM, he strikes me as content with his career and somewhat deluded in how he is perceived but it is what it is. The club's fault, hand out silly contracts to average players and pay the price.

bolded is true for marketable players, unless Maguire enters the comedy business

From what I know about him he doesn’t have any other sponsor than Puma and they pay him per game, I’d imagine they will back off a bit if he doesn’t feature at all.

to me it’s clear he’s after the bag so that’s priority number one. Talk about getting back into the team are bollocks. Yes he might feature here and there but either he’s absolutely deluded as you mentioned or it’s an excuse to reject that WH move
 
By hanging on for "compensation" he is effectively admitting to the world that this is a termination of contract because he is shite and not actually a transfer. Well done.

You do know who the England coach is right! Maguire would get picked even with a wooden leg.
 
Next year's figures have little to no bearing on our spending this summer. If FFP is an issue - and we're led to believe it is - then all that matters is that discharging the book value for Harry Maguire right now would mean taking a £26M hit. So that is the figure we have to recoup now to avoid reducing our budget.

It might well be beneficial long term to take a hit now and get more headroom down the line, but that's not what the other poster was getting at. They were talking about the need to buy this summer.

Even if you are only talking about this year it is still a bigger FFP hit to keep him then sell him at a loss. A write off loss of a few million when selling him would be a lot less than one year's amortisation (even without factoring in a year's salary).
 
I think the comments by EtH were probably due to the deal being dead already.
Or maybe he actually does like the player enough to want to keep him? Hag is not this infallible genius as he has shown a few times with player choices

But you don't just write off one years amortisation, you write off two. If you dispose of an asset, you write off the entire book value ie £26M.
 
So every post the media made saying personal terms agreed! it's the settlement fee that's holding it up...were total bullshit!

I am shocked! :rolleyes: haha the feckers know absolutely nothing as to what's really going on...frauds the lot of them.
 
Do people really believe he stayed just because of ETH quotes, are you for real?! Some posts on here are literally a parody! :lol:

He is monetizing his memes

He probably wanted salary based on being in CL also.
