Speculation The hysterically annoying, and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2024 rumours thread.

[Miles Away]

I don’t really care whether we get the player or not. What I do care about is the continued evidence of faffing and incompetence by the business end of our football operation.

Above all it appears to lack any urgency or sense of purpose.

Rudkin should be spending every minute of every day of this window moving players, and here we are.

It’s ****ing shit. Give it to me, I’ll do it from now on.

 

[Brown Nose]

He doesn't. He says that he has no idea

Finally. Fair play lad, you got there in the end.

I am led to believe we have a very strong back up plan….

 

[Jeff]

Another theory...

We couldn't sign him until we sold someone.
We expected to sell someone. Deal all agreed. But the buying club couldn't buy until they sold someone. And that didn't happen.

So now we're trying to change the terms of the Sensi deal at the last minute.

I hope the fax machine is working and the clocks are aligned with Big Ben.

 

[popillius]

No he didn’t, as did no-one.

Doesn't matter. That's not how he works. Make stuff up to show how really, really in the know you are and then fit them to a spurious report somewhere. That's the ticket.

Nope.

Can't be anything like this.

That's too normal.

See, it can be exciting under Enzo after all

I've just seen Carl Cort driving into the KP.

Mr Romano says it’s off…

What a complete shambles

 

[camberwell fox]

Remarkable insight with 7 minutes to go.

 

[Miles Away]

I’m sorry, that’s ridiculous.

We haven’t been able to shift any of Ward, Praet, Nacho, Souttar, Daka, Soumare or anyone else.

And we are so close to the line that despite Casadei going back and Iversen and Thomas going out we don’t have enough room to sign a player the manager really wants.

Diabolical mismanagement.

 

[M17TT C]

Always seemed likely though as it was clear a couple of weeks ago that we needed to sell before he comes in.

 

[homer]

I’m hearing someone scuppered the deal at the last minute….

 

[Blue Maniac]

Is it 14 seconds past 11 yet?

 

[tedfoxxx]

Better hope big Wilf makes a miraculous recovery. Obviously not terminal for our chances this season but I can’t imagine Maresca will be impressed with the noises he’s been making.

 

[camberwell fox]

Yep, I can understand him being really pissed off.
