Going by his quotes, I think the board might have asked him not to openly admit about the possible transfer so that they can get a good price. I saw it like "The board is behind me with my decision until a great offer comes in at which point I will be helpless". Maybe wrong though."It’s my decision, but after the board has to, of course, agree with me. And if they don’t agree we have to consider it as well, and I will accept it. But the board is behind me on that."
His quotes seem oddly inconsistent. That last bit suggests that he has the board's backing, whereas the bit before implies doubt.
You really think that flash Abu Dhabi geezer was controlling the MCFC purse strings?
It's always been The Sheikh and co, mate. You claimed MCFC would never bid £100m for a player. We did, rendering your point wrong.
Well I never actually claimed we'd never done so in the past, though I'm still unsure how much we actually bid in that instance. My point was that we wouldn't be doing it this transfer window. I'd love to be proved wrong and I'd love to see us get Mbappe. I won't be holding my breath though.You really think that flash Abu Dhabi geezer was controlling the MCFC purse strings?

Thought you were talking about Blue moons attitude to Jonny there for a minute."It’s my decision, but after the board has to, of course, agree with me. And if they don’t agree we have to consider it as well, and I will accept it. But the board is behind me on that."

That's when we had a lunatic getting ahead of himself. That didn't last long. It's fuck all to do with 'Lickle City' either.
I think MBappe is an outside bet, but I think that ADUG wouldn't hesitate to break the transfer record if they needed to. They would have done it last summer with Messi.Well I never actually claimed we'd never done so in the past, though I'm still unsure how much we actually bid in that instance.

i see it as the final decision is the boards he's completely changed tack has wenger he's preparing the arse fans for they know what,the only problem I see is us getting buggered over the fee.."It’s my decision, but after the board has to, of course, agree with me.
