I'm certain that Matty_CCFC is on the whole double agent thing too, it's the only explanation that doesn't make me want to weep salty tears for the future of humanity.
This is all dramatically coordinated by both parties so they cut a deal and get us back to the Ricoh in late November and everyone is so giddy and buys a shitload of CCFC pens and erasers and gnomes in time for Christmas and throws an extra fiver in to their council tax to go get themselves...
'We have moved on' is exactly the same as 'the club is not for sale' or anything about players not for sale for almost every club in the world. The right terms invalidate any of these statements, they're just invitations.
So this is one of those false dawns where I think there's a chance we might return home briefly before realising it's two groups of dickheads in suits playing 'they started it' right?
I love the way newspapers claim exclusives. If you can ever guarantee you're about to read something you could have already read elsewhere but worded differently, it's when you see EXCLUSIVE in big font.
