My suspicion as well. Saying West Ham stole him from us is a face saving exercise for both player and Palace. I think he found out he would be a back up CH and didn't fancy it.
Save your hate for Liverpool …

Right. So you think that right before a world cup he's going to now throw a tantrum, with a manager who will kick out a player who doesn't do what he wants. For what? You think that behaviour will get him a move that he can't have until January at least? Get him into the world cup squad if he's not performing? And that the best deal from top clubs will come after such petulance?
I dunno what you do for a living pal but it's nothing like the game these guys are playing. Get a grip.

I think we all really need to let this go.
We have the potential of a great season ahead of us.
It's possible that Glasner and Parish might have had a little disagreement about the calibre of replacement for Guehi, maybe not.
A third choice, regularly injured loan is no one's idea of a satisfactory replacement, and I suspect there was more going on and we pulled the plug when it was clear that a proper replacement was not possible.
Igor was the victim of that, but Guehi will actually be better off as a result.
Time to move on.

What are you defending, the guehi saga made us look amateurish.
There was never much doubt Liverpool were trying to work Palace over, almost pulled it off as well.
I don’t blame Parish for that except in possibly one regard and that was being so public about his need to sell. Never the less considering Guehi even at £40 mill was an absolute steal for Liverpool, they wanted close to that for players he might replace. The fact was that was not enough for them, says they wanted to rub Palaces noses in it. Maybe Marc, should question how much he was actually wanted at Anfield, because their conduct suggests it didn’t matter if it didn’t happen.

I don’t hate Liverpool in the slightest but it would serve them right if Marc signs a pre contract for Real or Barca in January

Look, this is a stupid thread. Stop all this anti Liverpool stuff. It makes no odds. We all know that Ollie will be tempted away to manage Bayern and take Marc with him to play alongside his old mate Michael. That's the plan.

My only concerns with this scenario are
Did Liverpool leave it until the last minute? I suspect not as they have not been shy in signing players all window and they clearly had their work cut out dealing with the Mags playing hard ball.
We knew that Marc was in the last year of his contract and his value now plummets. Why were we shopping on the last day unless we were hoping that we could get a bargain?.) But hey why do we always shop on yne last day when the clubs pop those yellow discount stickers on what they want shot of.
Finally if Glasner did issue an ultimatum why did we agree a deal?
Finally why have we bought two players who look at best raw?.

It isn’t complete dogshit because Parish did say we couldn’t let Guehi go for free. That obviously gave Liverpool an indication they could lowball Parish. Now we’re in a position of Guehi possibly, probably going for free, but after Parish ended up accepting Liverpool’s lowball offer.

Reason for the post was due to the hate being directed at Steve Parish which I felt was totally misdirected . I think he handle the situation as well as he could given the situation . Hate is probably too strong a word , blame would have been more appropriate , but it was to catch people’s attention and my attempt to shift the anti Steve narrative out there .
I personally feel that “ social media “ is anything but social media, and the topic of this post is not like what I normally do .
No , I don’t hate Liverpool and they do ( we have the second best )have the best club song .
I was resorting to the sort of sensationalisation the media do on a daily basis just to make people read the post which I felt was well reasoned .

While I was upset about being denied Europa , I do wonder if it was a blessing in disguise .
We have a much more realistic chance of wining the conferance and then go to Europa next season . So a greater possibility of two Europe seasons .
Gives the club / players and fans the chance to adjust to the rigors of the extra games and also gives the club a better to chance to recruit / prepare for Europa if we win the conferance .
We now have added depth to the squad and then two more windows to prepare and build depth . We have players who aren’t in Glasners plans , so more chance to recruit those who could be .

This whole debacle was nothing more than a Mexican standoff and it panned out exactly as so.
Trying to figure out who was "in the wrong" here is pointless.

the OP makes a good point very well, however if we had got someone like Diomande in in July how much would Liverpool had dropped their offer for Guehi to? Not lower than £30 mil I'd say, so maybe be better to risk losing a few mil so as not to undermine the integrity of the squad and alarm the manager. But I don't think Guehi's all that p*ssed off he's staying, there's plenty of upside from guaranteed regular playing time and the choice of club and level of salary he'll get next summer, and we might get a fair price for him in Jan with big clubs trying to get in there before the summer.

If Liverpool had let Gomez go then Guehi would be their player now.
That was what was meant to happen, so they scuppered the deal - not us.

That's the thing, there's so much hearsay about that "Guehi is fuming" or that he is "said to be releasing a statement concerning his disappointment" or that "Guehi is heartbroken and betrayed"
........who said? Besides some sports "journalists" and some people in Reddit?
It's not like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and we stood in his way. He's going there either way, if not now then in three or eight months.
