Latest on Forster from Ken Brown

[The Oldman]

Albion have denied Nicky Forster has been put on the transfer list by mutual consent and clarified the situation regarding his future at the club.

Managing director Ken Brown said: "Nicky's situation is that he is out of contract end of the season and was free from January to sign for another club if he so wished.

"That has not altered. He has not handed in a written transfer request to the best of my knowledge and if he did it would be totally pointless. We couldn't transfer him, because the transfer window has closed.

"We are a little bit bemused by it. The club has made no decision yet on the players out of contract. That is the manager's decision and he will advise the players as and when he sees fit."

does this not contradict what forster came out and said?

 

[Mellotron]

So confused. Nicky has said that he HAS given in a transfer request. So one of them is outright lying.

What on earth is going on? Ken Brown would know before anyone I would have thought? what he says makes more sense than what Forster said though tbh..

Where did the Forster quote come from though, was it just the well known work of fiction known as the argus

 

[auschr]

this is what I posted about, to request a transfer makes no sense

All helps the atmosphere and team spirit at th club just ahead of a "must win" game.

 

[Husty]

only to an extent. there is no contract n the.table and he is free to go at the end of the season

 

[Mellotron]

So in fact, Ken Brown is simply saying "We haven't held talks with Nicky yet."

So I think Nicky was a bit cheeky in making it sound like he WON'T be offered a contract, when Ken Brown is saying Brighton haven't got that far yet, either way.

Well, whoever it is bullshitting, they should be marched out of the club and not allowed anywhere near the team again :fingerscrosseditstheArgus:

Nope. Brown says "He has not handed in a written transfer request to the best of my knowledge".

So Nicky may have made a request but not in writing. Also, Brown may not know about it. Look like weasil words to me.

Back to the bad old days of conducting negotiations in the press!

I stopped believing what I read in The Argus many moons ago.

 

[Icy Gull]

Everything about this club is so Micky Mouse.
