EDS, is there any basis for Southampton reporting us to PL for illegal approach of VVD?

{Ed001's Note - yes there is a basis as the club should not have done anything until after speaking to Saints. The only question is whether or not we were led to believe the club knew about us speaking to the player.}

United fan here in peace.

Just a quick follow up @Ed001

Aren't Liverpool and Klopp already in hot water over a previous illegal approach made for a player? (Can't remember which but do remember Ed002 mentioning something)

This could turn ugly pretty quick for Liverpool if there is any truth in Southampton's claims.

{Ed001's Note - yes though this is very different.}

I thought with us having a new CEO we wouldn't be seeing stories like this anymore from our club, if true i can't believe we could have been so idiotic to speak with vvd without consent from saints.

Ed I can't beleive we might have been this stupid. Surely we have not? Could this scupper the deal?

{Ed001's Note - it could yes.}

If this turns out to be true then we will deserve everything we get. Absolutely shocking (if true) that we are still carrying on this way, we should damn well know better.

ED1 - thanks for the reply, I guess the follow on question would be, is there any evidence?

It seems somewhat churlish, especially with the amount of money we've "invested" after buying half of their team in the past! It's seems apparent that VVD wants to go elsewhere (us, City or Chelsea all expresing interesting) and I find it hard to believe that we'd be stupid enough not to follow the proper process.

If no evidence can be found and Soton still decide not to do a deal with us, would it go to a tribunal to resolve, or is VVD foced into a dilema of continuing to play for Saints or having to chose another club?

{Ed001's Note - he wants to go regardless. They could end up in a Fonte situation.}

Ed1, oils you remind me which deal previously Klopp had gotten into trouble for tapping up with. I remember that Gerrard approached Kroos obviously the Dempsey fiasco had us in trouble but what has Klopp done wrongly?

{Ed001's Note - I don't remember mate, Ed002 would be the one to ask.}

i believe the player was Zielinski last summer.

If I am not mistaken, it is Zielinski who ended up at Napoli.

I know of the deal regarding Zeilinski last summer who Klopp tapped up and Udinese refused to sell to us and sold him against his wish, to Napoli even tho we offered more money in fees.
