Now she has the cheek to get the lawyers on Joe Barton.

[@philkirk5970]

She has confessed live on air to 1) price fixing, and 2) betraying her owners trust. The first is against the law (Competition Law) and the second shows a complete lack of commitment/integrity towards her employer. The FA’s Compliance Officer should now investigate her for #1 and no club should ever employer her as a Director of Football again for both #1 and #2. You are not allowed to discuss price negotiations with competitors.

[@Ashwillhay]

It's not price fixing. How is the valuation of a player determined? Out of thin air. It is determined by what another club is willing to pay. So, if she bids 200,000 for a player the selling club will reject because they "think" she is worth 270,0000. Her owner is only willing to give 220000. So she rings another director to bid informally for say 210,000 and if they reject it, she knows the player is not worth less than 210,000, so she informs the owner about this and asks if they can bid 240,000 or 250,000. The owner obviously has to agree or disagree in the end so its not betraying their trust as the original budget offered to the director for the player wouldn't be enough and would've been rejected! The club she asks for the favour probably wont be interested in that player, if they for some reason accept the 210,0000 offer from the other club then they know the selling club were just trying to screw them. The only entity with manipulation power in the entire situation is the selling club! There are plenty examples of this in transfer history. There's no way players like Enzo, Maguire, Antony, Pepe were worth what they were sold for. There was a lot of market manipulation from the seller. It's like buying a second hand car from your uncle. Ask your mate to see if the value is really worth 5000 or if the owner is just ripping you off because he knows you're rich.

[@MrAizice]

Firstly does she even realised that she has confessed to manipulating and defrauding her employers by engineering the situation? And secondly, is she liable for a defamation suit? She has just put Arteta and Pep's integrity into question, bringing the game to disrepute. I don't think she realised that she has just opened herself up to potential legal actions

[@gbej1]

So what Eni is saying to any football club is: “If you employ me I will be sure to make you pay over and above what you need to for a player, hence I will make your club lose money”. More importantly, even if clubs are disingenuous in their dealings they don’t come out and publicly admit it. Imagine if she worked for City during the period of their current misconduct charges, it will give lawyers ammunition to persecute City with them say that one of their employees have openly admitted to deception

[@dazediss6629]

Simon was actually brilliant here; not the fact that he took her to business school in the first few minutes. But by about the 13th minute; he’s actually realised that she’s opened a can of legal worms & is effectively incriminating herself and opening herself up for a legal investigation by not only his majesty’s revenue and customs; but also her former employers avenues to sue her. He realises this and shepherd’s the conversation away from what she originally said. A true class act from Mr. Jordan. I’m not sure she knows of how close she came to losing everything, she’s probably too thick or too proud to realise. But he’s effectively saved her life here.

[@acelectricalsecurity]

I listened to this, and I think she realised what she was saying just doesn't stack up, but the more she tried to justify herself the worse it was getting for her. Simon was spot on, if a rival calls you up, you tell them the opposite, that's basic common sense and business.

[@temporaryuseraccount0012]

​@@jziffi Quote: "Simon making up the word "autonomacy"" ... If you're going to attempt to correct people who have a larger vocabulary that yourself, you need to have better spelling... Oxford English Dictionary: autoˈnomasy Derived in mod. Dicts. from Gr. αὐτός self + ὀνοµασία naming, and explained as the use of a common name in a connexion in which it acquires an accepted specific sense; e.g. ‘town’ for ‘London,’ ‘river’ for ‘Thames,’ in ‘He is in town, and has gone across the river (to Lambeth)’; it being held that ‘town,’ ‘river’ here virtually name themselves ‘London,’ ‘Thames.’ But as this is a strained etymology, and the word exactly corresponds in meaning to antonomasia, it seems more reasonable to suppose that it is a mere mistake due to a turned n (= u) in printing.

I had a feeling that Rice wasn’t a player City needed, but my thought was that it was just City increasing the price Arsenal had to pay, reducing the budget left over for other signings. She probably should’ve just said the same tbf

[@nickxcore74]

I’m with Simon on this one, as he’s right that you don’t tell a competitor what you’re prepared to bid for a player, because you’re looking out for your own interests and not your competitors.

[@philwill0123]

Not really, west ham told everyone what they wanted for Rice, Arsenal werent going to pay it. Essentially, what shes saying is, Man city, put in a put up or shut up bid, and it forces everyones hand. Man City did, then bought Kovecic. west ham also stood firm on their valuation and rejected man city bid, which meant Arsenal couldnt lowball, they had to pay price set

[@MrBannystar]

@@philwill0123 What? You clearly didn't read the OP's post properly, if YOU or ANOTHER CLUB are bidding for a player then you NEVER tell what your genuine limit is because it skews negotiation in favour of the selling club i.e. "Our actual budget is only a tenner, so our maximum bid is £8", to which the other club says "We want a bid of at least a tenner". It's partly why many clubs try to make transfer fees undisclosed because when they reinvest incoming transfer funds, they often have to pay higher fees if other clubs know how much they're recently sold a player for.
