Is it not possible the deal has been agreed but everything under wraps while nufc get various ducks in order? This ‘first bid rejected’ stuff could simply be us giving the journos something to write in the mean time
People honestly overthink these things. It’s not a soap opera. Not everything is about narratives and messages. They’ve bid, we said no, he trains. Sometimes it’s just as simple as that.
That isn't an issue at all. The issue is the agents, super agents and hangers oners (that a word?) who are playing the narrative out on social media. Some of which are supposedly professional journalists or media establishments. As someone just said to @georgecaulkin.bsky.social bring back ceefax!
