I'd ignore all rumours about how much we did or did not receive, Real will never give a true figure and we're even less likely to.
Rightly so? Really? This is our problem. We can only hope for CL now, certainly not expect. As it stands, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, City are better than us, and it's hard to see Utd having another poor season with a top class manager in charge. The only thing we should be expecting is beating Everton to 6th.Southampton fans seem gutted to lose him but they have a different level of expectation to us, we expect CL qualification and rightly so, just hope he can deliver that
We were fleeced even with the record fee. With Bale, we could have secured CL, a higher place in the table, and more money from sponsors and shirt sales. That alone would have been worth well more than the 86mill we got for Bale.What was Levy thinking taking a world record fee for a player?
Clearly fleeced.

The Telegraph article from Jason Burt says that Levy has demanded that Pochettino qualify for CL next season, clearly Levy thinks differently to many of the fans
We get this every season in the press - and it always turns out that never happened.
Was AVB sacked for finishing 5th? No.
Sherwood came out and said he'd been told 4th was the minimum requirement - then changed his tune a few weeks later and said he'd never been told he had to get 4th.
How would Burt even know this, was he sitting in the meeting?

My man is on the way to London going to sign the deal
My man is the man with the info
His on a flight to London tonight to sign a deal
Liverpool have the CL to deal with and will have to significantly invest in their squad to cope. Also, Suarez might leave, which would be a huge blow to them. They could also be a one season wonder for all we know. It's also hard to tell how Utd will adapt to LVG's personality. They also need to sign a few players and they might take time to gel.we won't finish top four next season. arsenal, liverpool & united will all be better than us, not to mention chelsea & city
that's not overblown pessimism either - unless we're really, really good, we're not going to overcome at least 2/5 of them
Seems a bit ridiculous flying from Southampton.
Yea, I had to edit it. Apparently his man is Joe Lewis. Meaning Lewis is flying in to sign off. Apologies.
Atlanta Yid on COYS:
Then this
Somebody mentioned that AY's man is from the club signing paperwork. Apologies if this shouldn't go here.
Joe Lewis?
Assume Joe Lewis is flying to London to sign off the Poch deal.
Yes, AY quoted a poster that guessed
Would suggest a big deal IMO.
And maybe a few contracts.
But wouldn't that be a formality with a managerial appointment, given there will be new backroom staff
