United declined to comment when contacted by ESPN, but there is hope that an arbitration hearing to resolve the matter can be avoided.

15M and deal done. Good luck arseholes.

[toontownman]

Probably just didn't want to give us the satisfaction of any income before the PSR deadline.

Think they were close to breaching themselves.

Been saying those for ages now, they couldn't even buy amrabat FFS(jammy cunts as it turns out) or sack ten ballbag before today if they wanted to never mind this. Be interesting if ratface does actually stick with him after the euros when Dan is behind his desk

[simonsays]

Yay, more money for us!  Can we get a sweepstake going for how far he gets into his first interview before dropping his 'centre of the wheel' patter? 

[SUPERTOON]

Minimum 15 million and I’d be happy to let him go. Any less, let him rot.

[Kid Icarus]

So from the sounds of it we got the full £20m?

 

So we're on £88m income from the last 2 days.

With them lot knowing quite well what our situation was like with needing money i'd rather the club sues them with Ashworth caught sending emails and all that.

 

Let him rot

That's my understanding. Though if we've done a deal which goes on the books in the new financial period, without having gone to arbitration, my interpretation would be that the deal's gone in our favour, though.

Oh aye, it will be more than that derisory 2m they offered without a doubt. 

[Dokko]

Timing is everything. He knew the hole we were in and told manure to wait it out. Now that's lapsed and we didn't budge with him, the only option is to pay up or wait another year.

 

He's a right cunt.

Oh they’ve paid a lot then if he’s starting right away they’ve paid. 

[Pilko]

Wonder if this actually went through yesterday pre-PSR deadline or not?

Would imagine it’s close to 20 million 

[Newcastle Fan]

Very Interested to know how much they've paid.

Hopefully it breaks, but aye 15-20 hopefully. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Thank fuck this saga is finally over

[gbandit]

Get fucked you piece of shit. Wish you every failure 

[Lazarus]

We won?

[joeyt]

Hilarious if his first signing ends up being Matt Targett for £25mil
