I believe the ITK’s say the same thing about themselves. I know I’ve seen Tomlie say he is just passing on info he gets and that things change and sometimes rapidly. Sanchez for example or even Alves. Deals were probably in place with players. Cant help someone else swooped in at least minute with a ton more money we weren’t willing to pay. I love the Tolmie thread each year. But I realize he isn’t Tixi.Wasn't it 9320 who also said that Pep had agreed an extension and it would be announced soon? Only for it to be revealed just a couple of days later (from Pep's own mouth), that he would decide at the end of the 2022/2023 season.
I've been browsing this forum since 2011. And in my experience you should take what "ITK's" say with a pinch of salt.
