First time poster and one for Ed002 I think(?).

I read today that "Ian Ayre has travelled to Spain to conduct negotiations with Sevilla" for the transfer of Aspas. This got me thinking to the protocol behind the clubs meeting to negotiate.

I have a business background (albeit very very different) and if someone wanted to buy one of our assets, it would be normal for them to visit my offices with the offer, and it would be unlikely that I would travel to them to hear what they had to say.

This is what Barca did (although I understand it was in London rather than L4).

Who decides whether a meeting is necessary or where they meet. Or is it as simple as Mr Ayre being in Spain on other business and can combine the two?

{Ed002's Note - It varies club by club and whether one person is assigned responsibility or not. Liverpool supporters speak of their omnipotent transfer team who are seen everyday in cities throughout the world. It also depends on other business - Barcelona were here to discuss two other players in London at the time of the Suarez discussions - I explained that they were talking to Arsenal about Sanchez at the time. Hence, meeting in London suited everyone. Some clubs have one person who conduct a large percentage of the transfer business and schedules meetings and off she goes (true for both Chelsea and Marseille). Some clubs will let third-parties So there is no defined protocol.
