Is that what was behind Perez saying, right, let's have an election now to almost ambush him?

And so in the midst of all this, he has said, Jose Mourinho is my guy.

He's inherited a very talented dressing room, there's no doubt.

But what is your sense of the...

human aspect to that dressing room at the moment.

Maybe start with Mbappe, like this huge petition against him.

Is he being talked about like openly in the press as a toxic figure in there and a bad professional?

Not just the trip away, obviously, but just in general terms, is he kind of being deemed a toxic presence?

Because I even saw on La Sexta, Perez was asked, like, would you sell Mbappe?

You know, so even that question is being asked is very telling.

That's fascinating about the billing.

So I hadn't realised that.

So the Madrid stadium answer would alternate between Vinicius and Mbappe.

So last would get the biggest cheer.

But now Mbappe has won that war.

So he's just the designated last name.

So, I mean, something like that doesn't happen without maybe agents involved, without Perez involved.

Like, that's a whole saga to reach that kind of a conclusion.

What's the Bellingham beef with Mbappe?

Just not a meeting of minds or some specific issue?
