For the anon who couldn’t listen and anyone else who can’t listen this is all that Alex said on mason:
- Says when Fab says “from mounts side he’s not actually getting it from mounts side. He’s getting that from Chelsea. That’s what Chelsea are saying they’re getting from mason (but it’s not true)
- Mason (and his agents) aren’t saying “let me go because I won’t sign a deal and I’ll run down my contract”
- They’ve been waiting since feb since the one year deal.
- Other deal wasn’t anything crazy financially. But new people came in and took offer away. They’re trying to cheapen everything
- Some at Chelsea felt they could replace mason in cheaper way.
- They’re portraying as if he’s not interested in staying but that isn’t true.
- When it was reported Todd and mason had spoken that was said by Chelsea to make them look good so if he did end up leaving it’d look like it was masons fault and the club did try to make him stay.
- Also the reason they were reporting that they had some optimism in mason staying is cause both potential new Chelsea managers had both said they wanted mason to stay
- Chelsea just wanted to get it out there that they were “trying” but they weren’t
- People saying why doesn’t mason clear the air and tell the truth. He said the minute you speak out you’re starting a PR war with the club and there’s no chance of staying (which is what mason wants because staying at Chelsea and signing a new deal is something he’s never stopped considering and wanting)
- Will the truth come out, no doubt. If he stays it will probs come out in a different format than if he goes but either way it’ll be classy.
- Alex still thinks it’s more than likely he’ll be sold to Man U before the season starts than staying at chelsea (he said this multiple times)
- Lots of people at Chelsea hate how this has gone but these people aren’t high enough that they can do anything about it.
- Poch hasn’t reached out to mason but that’s probably Chelsea telling poch lies about this situation. They don’t want poch and mason to talk cause then poch finds out the truth
- He thinks situation will accelerate and he’ll be sold quick so poch won’t get a chance to talk to mason
- Chelsea doing what they can to make sure that if mason goes and does well fans can’t blame the club
- Chelsea have pushed mason out of the club
- One year deal wasn't to buy time like reported but so his sell value would be higher.
- The second the one year deal was offered masons side realised Chelsea weren't serious about keeping him
- Masons gutted it’s come to this
- Says it kills mason that there are people out there that think he’s desperate to leave etc
- Says Reece’s bricks quote wasn’t about mason (we knew that anyway) and Reece is gutted about the mason situation
- Says going to Arsenal was out of the question for mason (cause they’re rivals)
- Says they’re lying to Poch about mason wanting to go cause they don’t want to look bad with the new manager especially when he wants to keep mason
