It'll happen tomorrow morning, 9/10am. Why waste a whole day's new cycle and social media exposure tonight. You'll capture all the Far East and beyond supporters & markets before bed.. and leave a whole day for us.

Won't make any difference if the PL plays Sat or not & as we don't play until Sunday it won't interfere with our matchday tweets etc. Plus a whole day to separate the announcement for each player.

Someone's probably said already, but what time is it best to break news in America? That seems to be the market we have been aiming for recently.

Bale coming back is a massive deal. The media team are going to probably create something more than a 30 second video. Editing might be taking awhile.

They're obviously waiting for everyone to go home so they can sneak him out so he can Tee off from the skywalk for the video. It's fine.....

It’s 5:15pm on a Friday on the east coast here, right around when you’d announce something if you wanted nobody at all to see it.

The club have always been shocking at this. When they do the release it will no doubt show that everything was done early afternoon with the sun high in the sky and they just clueless with keeping the fans informed. Like we are an after thought

I'll be honest, I blame all you fucking business 101 nobs who were saying ooo you don't release good news on Friday as nobody is watching, that's when you bury your bad news. Well they fucking listened didn't they, DIDN'T THEY. Now we're waiting for Monday.

Friday just before close of business is universally regarded as the absolute worst time to drop news in the States. It is always when organizations announce things which they wish to sweep under the rug. You could not possibly choose a worse time than now for the announcement.
