When you look around at other clubs you always see some truth in reports about new managers/ players etc.
Ive never seen any club as good as ours at keeping things secret, they are masters at it, every single report and rumour up to now is just pure guess work, none of us even know if any of those managers have been contacted at all, none of the papers know anything for certain, all the reporters do is see some garbage on Twitter and write a column on it, then another paper sees this and writes their own column up adding some bits in, next thing you know is we have interviewed 9 managers, looked at 6 players and are about to offer Joe Hart 200 k a week, our club is more secure than MI6
1st June tomorrow so maybe just maybe something could happen, i'm probably one of the most laid back people on the planet and its just started to do my head in, god knows what it is doing to some of our uptight fans, must be cracking up :)
Im also quite patient as that comes with being laid back, friggin patience is starting to go out the friggin window now, pause, deep breath, nearly blew then, come on Mr Moshiri give us something except speculation and gossip, anything, we are desperate.

Good post that Murf and sounds familiar too.
Some of these rumours (not all) are being put out by ''trainee reporters''
So 'pinch of salt ' with most of it anyway mate.

Read that as the m 16 motorway at first and was confused lol.

The transfer market opens, I believe, on 9th June. I expect our new manager to be in place and already running before that date so that we're not left behind or finding players leaving without a care in the world.

Well Pellegrini's contract with City runs out 30th June so I wonder how employing him at Everton before that date works.

The silence from the club is deafening but I think that is the way forward mate. I'd rather we conduct our business under the radar than publicly announce our every move. Realistically, I don't think the board taking their time is a bad thing as it is such an important decision to make and this next appointment will shape our future under Moshiri. The press and bookies will speculate regardless, as fans we just have to sit tight and hope that the board deliver for us. Certainly testing our patience but we will soon have a new man at the helm. Fingers crossed they get it right.

Would much rather the silent type than West Ham owners for example. Its as if all three of them are arguing over who can spout garbage next. Got to be the most embarrassing owners ever to grace the Prem League.

Transfer Window opens on 1st July.

ha ha Ace, I wrote same post to reply but pressed bloody close instead of reply so could not be arsed retyping, West Ham make me laugh, if it isn't the owners spouting who they are going to throw 25 or 30 million on then its one of their sons on Twitter, that was 2 weeks ago and still nothing, bidding 15 million now apparently, must think the new free tax payers stadium makes them a great proposition, much rather it was done our way, nice and quietly with low publicity.

Good posts Murf, spudv and Ace.

Honestly Degs it was bad enough with Dave Whelan and Wigan. But there's three of them at West Ham and none of them know how to shut up. Coming at you from all angles it's like them reptiles from Jurassic park.
Much prefer the long quiet and then boom! Just like when we signed Fellaini about 10 mins after deadline. Loved that one.

Agree again Ace!
