Danks

If they want him they need to buy out his contract. We don’t how long he has left, might be one year might be 2. I expect it’s worth circa 0.5mill a year. If they are being stroppy over those numbers after shelling out so much for Kompany, Danks should be questioning how much they really want him.

It's pretty certain that if we didn't reach an agreement, Danks would be absolutely livid.

Put yourself in his shoes - stay at championship Middlesbrough potentially chasing the playoffs, or Champions League Bayern Munich with a 75,000 attendance.

Not sure it's as simple though, does he have a young family, how does his partner feel about living in germany. it isn't for everyone, and it's the kind of serious discussion you have to have. Lots of people move to other countries then back within a year because of the language barrier.

I'm sure from a pure career perspective he would love it, but there's more to it than that. Anyway, it'll sort itself out eventually. I'm sure we aren't being arsey for the sake of it.

He was at Anderlecht with Kompany wasn't he?

Dunno if his family moved over, but it suggests he's happy to move abroad for a job, and Bayern will have massively more cachet and pull than the Belgian leagues you'd think.
 
See Dan Ashworth at Newcastle for this, if compensation can’t be agreed and he wants to go. Danks might need to get his gardening gloves out😉

I looked at his career, seems like he was at Anderlecht for only 3 months (6 weeks after season started) before he went to Villa. Unclear if they had issues living aboard or if the job offer at Villa was to good to turn down. Hardly a big history of working with Kompany.

He's from Birmingham, he was obviously going to take the assistant manager job at a bigger club in a much bigger league on more money, rather than be an assist manager in Belgium.

That will have been the sum of it.

Big career advancement for him, just like Bayern from Boro.

Spoken by a true Tory thinker…fcuk everyone else and stand aside while I set the world alight.
OR
He could’ve took it as a massive compliment and realised he’s working with a super young talented manager and is exactly where he needs to be to finish what he got an opportunity to start by Carrick.

A Tory would choose the first option

Probably one of the m most warped takes I’ve seen on here
 
Good luck to him. My view is move on, a new coach with new ideas might be a good thing. A differrent voice freshens things up at the training ground.
