Are there any guidelines or limits to that?
Presumably the PFA would quite lenient on the player, to protect him from the ‘rage’ of the club?

No guidelines as such as it’s case by case. There’s a natural balance of power though that tends to keep things in check.
If it gets to that stage a player’s exit is almost inevitable.

Just sign a freaking CB, and we are done for the season.
Also, need to sell a few players too.

Edit
Is he talking about Isak in the past tense?
So many contradictory statements, sometimes it seems as if he has come to terms with the fact that Isak is leaving and then he has hope again to fix it somehow.
Maybe they just want to wait it out and hope it goes away?

Eurgh Matthew Syed what a pillock.
What I’ve taken from is that Eddie Howe needs a new dictionary.

Btw…
Wonder if they were all asking for Gordon to get fined by Everton, at the time.

God he’s fucking ugly isn’t he.
I think Isak will go but it will pick up after the third game as we hit the break.

Similarly, Brentford will fleece NUFC for Wissa.

So, last night I met up with a NUFC mate, who’s pretty level headed (like me).
He was pretty resigned about the whole saga, blaming the financial rules that prevented them from offering Isak a higher salary (I know nothing about that), his agent for contacting us and Isak for being disloyal.
He thinks they’ll end up selling him at 120m plus 10m add ons once they’ve brought in replacements.
He didn’t blame NUFC as he felt their hands were tied as giving in to Isak would precipitate a rush of other players trying to force their way out in a similar way.
He also mentioned Isak’s injury record, but also insisted 150m was a reasonable price.
Don’t shoot me, I’m only the messenger, but I thought it was interesting to hear the other side.
