Presumably they've had to wait until the Cleverley loan was confirmed, then clarification of whether it's season long or just til January, then argue about whether he can have the number 23 shirt off Cissokho, and find a good local hair stylist for him. And now it's time for G&T then dinner, then maybe a short walk for the dog. So I'm not expecting to hear anything before 7.30 a.m. tomorrow now

Was told today, by two different sources, that the deal has been done, but the new owner doesn't want it announced until after the window is shut so as not to have clubs inflate their transfers.
The players coming in are being funded by the new owner.

Might be BS, but worth posting. We'll see at midnight tomorrow  :)

Oh well  :-[

Presumably they are now going to wait a few days before announcing themselves, so that it doesn't look too obvious that they were holding back until the transfer window closed? Very cunning plan.

Or a few months so it looks even less obvious. Then keep it on the down-low so that other clubs don't inflate their prices in the January window. Then the deal will hinge on Premiership survival. Then.....

Even cleverer.

Possibly never reveal that it has been sold or to whom. That way no one knows what our budget is orwhat our strategy is.  That way we will never be a hostage to fortune or unscrupulous agents.


Genius.
