Please be true ..please be true .. and repeat But you just know he will keep slowly upping the price till he pisses them off and they bugger off .. a reverse of his transfer negotiation strategy
Suspect there will be a bit of negotiation yet, but at least the bid (if numbers are correct) is in the right ballpark
He's not going to accept the first offer is he? Only way he would is if they've already done the haggling verbally and this is the 'formal' offer.
End of November for agreement on price. 2 weeks for the contracts to be drawn up. The only delay beyond this is the FA rubber stamping the new owners.
