So we signed a deal with gattuso in six hours. OK, next.
Fonseca is in the Ukraine and Levy supposedly in the Bahamas.
How does that work?
Are we really expected not to remember what these clowns have already written less than 5 days ago?

No…..just no. That wasn’t what was happening.

I've called him out so many times on twitter for spouting nonsense flimflam, he's blocked me now

Agreed doesn’t mean signed.

Mate, I’ve said repeatedly that there are 3-4 sources that you can probably trust as having a line into the club. Not that they are in the room, but that they will have a confirm / deny kind of relationship with the club, or be told things that the club wants them to hear.
The argument then comes back to me that I’ve only believed Romano and he’s the one that starts everything. When people have to fabricate points of view in order to strengthen their own argument, it is clearly on shaky ground.
Yes, as I've said before, out of the remaining plausible candidates, there doesnt seem to be a huge difference between them - all have some risks, but different risks
Speed and certainty is now an increasingly high priority. We need to be focussing on the gettable candidates now, rather than people who might take a few weeks to extract and might only have < 50% probability of actually landing them
That's probably true.
But they're required to write an article and taco a handful of tweets every single day. When nothing's happening and/or the club aren't saying anything, they still have space to fill.

Ok……do you think the links to Fonseca were totally made up? Or Gattuso?
Because I don’t see anyone sensible getting worked up over anything other than strong links to people we seemed to be in deep discussion with. With your post, are you saying that you don’t believe we went deep with them, or will your answer be that we don’t know?
We just have to have been doing *something* in these last few months, right?
I think almost all of the links have been made up. That's how quoteless journalism works.

I've a few posters unhappy that the dof is targeting Italian players, if this is how they play then I need TP for my bunghole.

Yes, just yes.
Every one of these stories has started with Romano.
Gold is now just retweeting Romano and commenting on ffs.
And three journos repeating the same story is not various sources.
And then two days (actually being kind there, sometimes it hours) they contradict themselves.
Some of us have longer memories or attention spans of goldfish.

Ok. Agree to disagree.

I think that it is possibly true that we had spoken to Gattuso after he left Fiorentina. I don't believe that he was lined up to be our next manager within hours. I suspect that Gattuso leaked to the Italian press and then Romano exaggerated the links. Journos here repeated what he had said because, as @scaramanga says, they have to file a story or two every day and don't have anything to write about
