Willie sh!t stirring after the sala affair? As you say, fans get upset when transfers dont happen, but its a minefield and could fail for reasons we cant even imagine.
Nothing surprises me. Remember the Godfrey Ingram affair? Meant to be a signing of real intent by City but it was a mysterious affair all round. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport...s/story-godfrey-ingram-cardiff-citys-14145627
It's like the sale of any valuable asset between businesses, last minute demands being thrown in, cold feet from one of the parties or even, in the case of football, the asset itself getting damaged, or having a flaw uncovered or even point blank refusing to go. So many elements beyond a clubs control. Many fans forgot it's not like Championship Manager!
