Alex crook Understand Rangers and West Ham have both walked away from potential deals for #SWFC GK Pierce Charles due to owner Dejphon Chansiri's 'unreasonable' transfer demands. Charles has shown great commitment to the club in tough times and is still on a minimal salary for the Champ.

Yeah it went wrong when the ‘transfer committee’ including Paul Senior and Glen Roeder went. The big question for me is how and why that happened? In all of DCs decisions, that for me, was the one that set off the chain of problems. They’d have probably come to roost anyway, but certainly that first window Roeder/Senior signed some quality - Bannan etc

Just to back the above “I explain! When I went to Greece, I had to do the contract in English and I remembered to call Amadeu Paixão, who’s an agent in England,” Carlos Carvalhal told Record. “After making the contract, he came to me with a cheque in hand, for 10% of my contract, paid by the Greeks. ‘I’m not your agent, mister. I just came here to help’. And I answered, ‘If they gave you the money, stay with it. That’s what it is’. And the time passed. This in life… there is always a law of return. “After Besiktas and Istanbul BB, my contract with Al Ahli had ended, and I was in negotiations with Glasgow Rangers. I even went to London to talk to them. During that time, Amadeu contacted me, told me that Sheffield Wednesday were interviewing several coaches and asked me if I’d be interested.

They worked together long before Wednesday. They worked together for the same agency. Paxiao got him the job here.

Paxiao and Carlos were close long before he came to Wednesday and still are.

https://finance.eaglefootballgroup.com/en/company/company-profile.html can’t edit the above post but this is where I was looking. majority shareholder but others involved

Report from 2022 shows him as majority shareholder - Since December 2022, Eagle Football Group (formerly OL Groupe) has been part of the Eagle Football Holdings Bidco Limited multi-club group, controlled by American businessman Mr. John Textor. As of June 30, 2024, Eagle Football Holdings Bidco Limited holds 87.69% of Eagle Football Group's share capital.

Sorry I really meant why do you think he’s going? I’ve seen very little on it since rumours early last week, which seem to have died. And in the mean time West Ham have signed a keeper.

Fair point but if you look at the eagle IPO, and press releases, that is currently out there that would suggest a worth of over 2bn. Decent sources. I would be shocked if someone who has sold a tiny part of their assets for 180m is only worth 190m.

He’s just sold his share in palace for 180m, his worth is much more.

Haven’t they all but signed hermansen from Leicester (according to sky sports news)? I know very little about West Ham but would they really bring in two keepers?

I have no ideal. Thags what this person said. Pre stoke game.

I’m deffo not itk but someone who’s been right on absolutely everything this summer, 2/3 days before it’s happened. Sanctions, windass/smth, bannan, north stand and many other bits- saying takeover progress, progress feels like movement and, just wait 10 days- to a chat group Genuinely just passing on, but this persons been right even up to yesterday when people said baz leaving and they were saying deffo contract tomorrow. So praying they are itk.

What a human. Exactly what our club should be.

wouldn’t shock me if he ended up at Burnley if Trafford goes.
