It's literally the only fly in the ointment, him having a change of heart, otherwise, he's a City player.
I don't want to see protests at the gates. We saw it with the failed takeover of Newcastle - the media and certain clubs didn't want it to happen and the longer something gets played out in public, the worse it becomes.
City have too much at stake to let it drag out beyond next week.
I suspect that this has gone too public for an about turn now for him.
Previously he has done a u turn after discussing a move but it’s all been conducted behind closed doors with no leak.
This is being managed out with a playbook currently
To make as many parties look good as possible.
