    I’m I the only one still on the inside with Him. I can provide updates if anyone wants.

    Also Keith has gone very VERY quiet!

    Keith hasn't known anything for ages just like the rest of us I guess.

    Why have you suddenly decided it's off?

    Should hope so too, he went on the ITK bandwagon with his immaculate source who told him that Martinez and Jones were going to spurs after the euros, that panned out well

    I’ve not really i am just bored. I honestly though arb would have been concluded before now and that the CAT case update (online) would have proved something.

    What we have is total silence on both fronts and the preseason is ticking along. We ain’t signed any players yet (standard) and the only optimism
    I had for next season was if we had a decision one way or another.

    What we also have is a limbo state and the longer this goes one the harder it is to plan for next season.

    Rafa has moved on.

    I just don’t see anything positive right now!

    He was on a page complaining about signing players, so I said to him that I was sure his sources would help him with that.

    Why 21 days after the deadline has it not updated?

    What could the reason be? Or reasons?

    It’s getting worse isn’t it. We had 12 last week (1k pupils) and my daughters had 6 (700) pupils.

    Whole year groups are now isolating.

    I have
    no idea. I was expecting the PL jurisdiction to be posted and also conclusion.

    I also expected the PL to fold if I am honest and the fact they have not makes me think they are dragging their feet still.

    I honestly think something will happen soon as MA did say he wanted it resolved. And to be fair to him what can he do? He can’t invest money in players of any value when it’s so up in the air.

    Bruce can’t plan.

    Its ****!

    Perhaps the premier league have folded? I mean are we expecting them to leak that the minute it happens? I think what we'd get is complete silence then one day bang it'll get announced...

    It's just one possibility surely?

    I think the rafa situation has lead to people thinking it’s off and they could be right, but there's always a possibility they never wanted him in the 1st place..

    It defo is a possibility, i guess along with the PL asking for the CAT to be thrown out has not been decided and Arb may not have started either, hence the silence. just throwing other possibilities out there, unless I'm missing something

    Others suggest the group wanted Poch not Rafa, I struggle to see the Rafa to Everton as any sign that its off, if anything it could show its still a little way off

    Also from rafas point of view he might not know 100% the nufc takeover will actually happen and then he's got a proper offer from Everton who're building a new stadium and are spending big money, so if you're him you're thinking well if I let this go and then the nufc takeover never happens I might end up at crystal Palace

    That’s right. But I actually personally did think that would have happened by now. There’s is some saying if arbitration is agreed then the whole process starts again?

    I can’t see that. It’s all setup ready for it (apparently) so if they fold and an agreement is made it shouldn’t be long before an announcement.

    That’s what makes me worried. Nothing. No news at all.

    What we do know is the pre season will be starting soon and Bruce has no idea what is happening.

    He could start making plans for what, no transfers???

    I personally don't think rafa would know anything more than us and he's probably had his head turned at a time of uncertainty and given an offer he couldn't refuse.

    I'm like yourself not convinced rafa was going to be their 1st choice and if we're being honest we've got no evidence that he was other than a local journalist saying they'd be intersted in bringing him back
