Don't tell them

110mill you say, where the hell do we find 120mill ?

There's making sure and the Anderson deal was too good to turn down imo.

But those that have to do it, I guess, kind of guesstimate and I'd be more inclined to go alongside Rambles numbers.

No, there was clearly an issue but ad yet we dont know how much but I'd doubt 70mill as quoted somewhere

May not be lies but may nit be the full facts. A lie to me is deliberate deception opposed to creating a narrative without knowing h it understanding the full facts.

I've posted elsewhere that plan A may not have been to sell Bruno but to be prepared as it would be out of our hands should the clause be activated.

Plan A I'm not sure was a plan, more so being prepared for an eventuality as it being out of our hands should the clause be activated. It made sense, if a bit of a gamble, to hold off other sales until we know what's happening there.

Just because there is a release clause there doesn't mean it has to be met.

His advisors must be shit if he's not already set up for life like but I get your point.

I checked. It wasn't aimed at me so nowt to deal with.

Harsh But fair. But I was never part of any clique.

Me ?

Usual simpletons

That's how people get caught, often by accident and there'll be many who don't get caught at all and many who haven't been caught but will in the future. The club do all sorts of checks on backgrounds etc but this got by, I'm guessing because it was kept hidden.

Given he knew it was illegal and what his punishment would be I'd say him and his mates wanted it kept hidden.

I dont think the "conversations" thing passes any smell test when you're trying to fund out about something someone specifically wants kept hidden. Yeah you may find out he's a bit of a twat when drunk, likes blonds, hates Guinness etc but illegal gambling wouldn't be something just dropped into gossip. The whole thing smacks of "I need someone to blame" when the only person to blame is Tonali.

And was Tonali doing that ?

Bearing in mind the mess we were in when he came, you have to wonder what he done that others wouldn't have ?

Wonder if he's going to keep his old email address ?

Do we know whether the funds from the Ashworth "transfer" are included in 23/24 or 24/25 ?

Depends when the agreement is made and funds paid I guess.

I dont think it's so much they expected, but they didn't need to sell Minteh etc had Brunos clause been triggered. At first we thought it was clever to time the clause to finish before tye accounting window closed meaning it would be harder for other clubs to trigger it, however it also left us little time if it wasn't.

Been linked with a wonderkid from PWC.

Aye true enough.
