It’s now clear that we were waiting for 30th June to get shot of the weasel and announce Mitchell rather than Mufc holding out to try to hurt us financially in the face of PSR.
Being a bit vindictive (something our board is not) I’m delighted we got a man ManU wanted - it’s the first time I remember getting one over on them.

Can’t wait to see what Mitchell does at the club.
Thanks for kicking this thread off Tops. Saves me jumping on to do it. All the hysteria of last week wrapped up in a nice bow. This deal was negotiated weeks ago. The players we've sold were planned and everything was organised.

The board held their nerve and didn't get bullied for C-ashworth. Made a big profit on snake.

Yet again, like Bruno, Isak et al, totally under the radar as you mention tops.

The people in charge are happy to let the little people, fishwives gossip whilst they get with business.
