I mean if a player goes AWOL and doesnt respond to try force a move, cant turn around and expect us to be nice and just let him go which would reward that behaviour.

If he wants a move he can act like a professional, if a club submit a reasonable offer we agree to terminate it early or he can throw his toys out the pram and we hold him to his contract.

The last option is we try convince him to stay during this remaining year but seems bridges have already been burned. Shame as would liked to have seen him get a chance.

I would agree with this, act professionally and get dealt with professionally and with respect. Piss off without telling anyone and don't expect people to bend over backwards to make your wishes come true.

Sancho imo has demonstrated what is wrong with much of football , too much too soon , greed and badly advised.

City should count his leaving as dodging a bullet later in the day, and let him go.
 
If he has a year left on his scholarship I would do my best to ruin the little plebs career, make him train with the Under 12's.

I certainly wouldn't, I'm sure he and his advisors are perfectly capable of ruining his career themselves, and making him train with other youngsters would be idiotic, in any case the problem seems to be he isn't turning up for training anyway.

What we should do as a club is be professional, try to persuade him to return, but failing that, allow him to go in the best interests of Manchester City FC.

Agreed - rise above the level the player/advisors have set .

City will always be more bigger than self-important individuals such as Sancho.

Bit harsh. Morrison is a scum bag. Sancho may be a mard arse but no evidence to suggest he is vile like Morrison.

I have generally been vitriolic about the episode but we have to remember that he is still very young. Just let him go and puck up the nominal fee.

There are rumours that Spurs are not going to sign him yet. I guess this may be a stunt by Levy. Levy may hope City simply just tear up his scholarship agreement and then pick Sancho up for free.

Think we would still get the development fee

You may well be right. I honestly don't know.

Spurs fans on social media claiming it is 'big bad City' playing up. Who knows, it could be Sancho asking for assurances or they cannot agree on wages.

Does anyone know why he wants to leave? It was reported he feels his path to the first team is blocked. I have also read he wants to return to London because he is homesick.
 
So does this mean he'll stay with us for this season? Or are City likely to try to move him on now with the way he's acted?

It's all such a shame because if he would have been respectful through the process I'm sure he would have gone on tour like Brahim and Foden and got his chance to impress.

Actually one of the conditions of going on the tour was him signing the record breaking contract that City had offered, so even if respectful he wouldn't have been there.

Fair enough. Yeah he's definitely got people in his ear if he'd turn down those wages at 17. How do you think City will handle his situation this year if he stays as these latest reports say?

Do you know this to be true?
I'm not doubting your integrity btw.
But I know that you follow the Academy teams closely and I put this possibility forward about twenty pages ago in this thread. I don't even live in England these days and it just seemed like it was a possible scenario. I'm not particularly an admirer of Sancho's football but I'd do exactly what he's done if I was given an ultimatum. And if true it raises more questions about some of the people in authority at City. Should it be the case, it's the wrong way to deal with people, especially juveniles.

I await the frothing ranters.

As far as i know, yes it is true. It had been dragging on for months and I don't blame City's stance on it. Pep's always said he only wants to work with footballers who want to be here, and why should some random kid fly out to America with the first team if he isn't willing to sign what would have been a record breaking contract for a kid of his age? (30k a week...madness)

You can throw the juvenile thing around, but that tag is kinda lost a little when youre about to earn 30k a week and you want to be treated like an adult and play immediate first team football i guess.

I also agree with the club, joining the senior players is a privilege if he isn't committed to us why should he go? What's the latest with Sancho? Is there anyway back for him?
 
Sorry, but sign this contract or you're not going on tour is just not right. No way to negotiate about anything.
The amount of the contract is irrelevant. Would his actions be OK if it were for a grand a week?

So I am not commuting to the club but want to come on tour to put myself in the shop window is acceptable?
 
If he believes that he is the same bracket as Dembele and Mbappe then 30k might not be enough given some of the new inflated salaries flying around....

There are a load of circumstances that lead up to that point tbf. Wasn't like City said it five days before. Months of negotiations.
