From Hero to Zero

we should sell him for the highest price possible, but not to chelsea, i dunno why but i get a real sense that Levy is trying to prove a point by showing the world that if you as a club hold all the cards then the player has no say no matter what, the only real way he can get out of his contract now is to get fired , but then we stand to lose money and that will never happen, i hope some amicable agreement can be reached , Modric is either ill advised or just plain stupid.

They can say and do what they like and get away with it and it's simply that they have so much money that they don't give a f*ck. I remember Alan Ball saying the team is playing badly and you go in the dressing room and look around at the players and the money they have compared to you and how do you tell them to get stuck in.

The only manager today who they respect and are a little fearful of is Ferguson and in the money stakes he has as much as they do.

I have felt all along that Modric would go long before this all blew up in the papers but I still believe that if Levy sticks to his guns once the season is under way Modric will be OK and the players will make sure he doesn't sulk and he is a proffesional and loves playing and there are other years when he can look to move on as he is still a young guy at 25.

Problem is Levy will probably bow to the pressure of the money boys especially Chelsea as they don't look like giving up. But which ever way it's going it needs to happen quickly as the window will be shut sooner than you think and we still have not bought anybody yet.

It was a distraction that stopped us in January and cost us CL and that was Levy's doing We don't want it to happen again and f*ck up our season before it even starts.
