SwissRamble is the best in the business. There will be many nuggets in this article for #nufc fans

Just to put things into context a little bit. 7 ½ years ago we paid a record fee for a player. That isn't a lot of time. The player? Miggy. The fee? £21m. At the time it was immense. Now we're all losing our heads over buying players at £40-60m and flipping them for £100m-odd. Perspective #nufc

🚨 What is *really* going on at #nufc? ⚫️ New blueprint & 'transition' admission 📝 ⚪️ '3 or 4' first teamers plan 🔄 ⚫️ Sources admit they're battling 'headwinds' with no Europe & lost revenue 💨 ⚪️ What Manzambi reps told #nufc THIS morning 🗣 Read 👇 inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

There is always a day each TW where everyone loses their minds. Today is that day. It also coincides with my first day back after hols. FFS. #nufc

Tielemans to MU. Wow! #nufc

Some of our Journos got a favour pushing out the Nmecha story and in return got the Manzambi exclusive. Whether we like it or not that's their job to push this out. Equally it's not quite as sensational as the press make out. #nufc were already preparing to move on last Wednesday. That's football!

Look the reality is that #nufc isn't hugely attractive at the minute. We're trying to be active in the market that gives us best chance to progress but it's hugely competitive. I like the way RW is going about his business. He's already on to the next target #nufc

As per Joel club have been aware of this situation for days. Ultimately they can't do any more if the player isn't committed. On to the next #nufc

However, they are genuinely still hopeful, as am I. If we’re being real he’s had a fantastic WC and he probably half expected a CL club to come in for him, which hasn’t happened yet. Fingers crossed it gets sorted next week, but if it goes on longer than that, I’d be very worried.

Understandably had a lot of Q’s come my way re JM. Truth is as of Thurs PM, everything was agreed. Fee, personal terms all done in principle - just hadn’t put pen to paper. Media reported this was to do with WC, truth is club don’t why he’s truly delaying, cautious he’s keeping options open. #nufc

If art critics talked like football pundits.

Bruno would have been away a long time ago if someone had shown #nufc the 💰. He's been a top player for us but a lot of the rest of it has been well orchestrated PR. If and when he goes hopefully our fans realise loyalty is a myth and we need to toughen up a little. Players will come and go.

Jao Gomes would be a decent replacement for Bruno #nufc

Today is looking like a better day 🇨🇭 #nufc

No coincidence that the Bruno news dropped on the day that there were no WC matches. Clearly planned by those lovely agents of his. Thank goodness the games are back for the foreseeable #nufc

'The darkest hour is just before the dawn'. I really believe we're at that point in the #nufc project. Whilst on the surface we're seeing fan favourites leave and ambition with it I don't believe that is the reality. - Our revenue 📈 in 5 years is up from 180m to 400+m

Btw if Bruno goes expect Eddie to follow him. The club is planning for all eventualities! #nufc

FWIW I'm told Athletic Madrid are also in the mix for him #nufc

Clearly showing my age. Players come and go. Bruno has been one of the better ones. Be deserves a final hurrah. I don't see his legs lasting in another 2-3 years. Club needs to keep showing it has a plan and we build again. Next season will be tough but a fresh start isn't the worst thing #nufc

So Sean Steur is joining #NUFC on a 5-year deal apparently, for about 23m GBP. Sean Steur 🔴 is an 18-year-old Dutch ball-carrying central midfielder. He's both-footed, 183 cm tall, and a top talent in the Netherlands. Here he is vs. Tonali 🔵 with the caveat about league strength. 1/ 🧵

I get all the agent stress. However, this is the clubs preferred agency and has Howe on the books so if anyone this is Freiburg for my money #nufc

Canny birthday so far. Still haven't recovered from Siem de Jong being announced out of nowhere in a travel lodge in north London #12inchplate

So my view for what it's worth is that we all need a bit of a reality check as #nufc fans. The 'project' has hit the buffers and that was always going to happen unless everything went perfectly. The reality is the gap to the 6 richest clubs is huge. To bridge that we have to do something different

The #nufc news is no surprise. It's all part of the growing pains. Tonali sale is now impt to allow us to manoeuvre this window as we've gone stale. Then it's over to the recruitment dept who needs to have a blinder and the commercial team to accelerate revenue at pace. Big couple of years ahead.

On the #nufc financial situation. Forget all the nonsense about 50m sale will allow us to spend 300m! 2 things matter! 1. Complying with FER (which is a bitch) 2. Looking at the accounts as a whole. As you can see from the SCR projection. Another 40m AF would hugely impact us.

Impt context for #nufc fans. I still don't think it is a bad deal. Even if my good mate @editkev.football will beat me up 😂. Got me it's how do we get the next 5/10 secured in the next 12 months.

What in the David Copperfield was that! Biblical storm. Had to get the garden stuff in. Drenched. Missed the Eng goal. Good night Vienna.

Two years without a title at Manchester City has seen them, alongside carrying Europe's highest wage bill, now spend somewhere near £600million on new players. In 18 months. Two-year net: c.£400m. City were one of the most forceful opponents of squad cost 'anchoring' limit in PL

FWIW I was told today that the market is now sluggish with the WC in full focus so expect very few deals in the next few weeks #nufc

Club have just signed a three year shirt deal. Brought in about 100 people on to the workforce. Preparing to announce the Training Ground and are actively working on a transformational stadium plan. I get it's been a poor season but howay lads and lasses let's chill a bit #nufc

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Suggestion City have now made their move with Tonali. First big will be rejected #nufc

This is a good news story. Getting finances lined up is the last key element that's hiding back the 🏟️. I get it's been a tough year but these things take time. Look at MU and their approach of communicating early but making little progress #nufc

Thought for the day. As much as things aren't feeling great with #nufc in the moment. 6 years in we're going to be close to 500m revenue next season. Ultimately we're one of a group of eight clubs that will be at the top of the table for decades to come.

Also can I just enjoy an Eng result for once. Last time I'd literally finished celebrating Watkins goal and had a Spanish hotel on the phone demanding 1k for damage by my eldest and mates. If we win the quarters I'm petrified! #nufc

Players will come and go. Bigger concern for me is the profile of our club. Definitely feels like we've lost some of the energy and opportunity. Not sure how you get it back but we are very much that top half club with little USP #nufc

As suspected, agent shithousery

Life is all about being hit hard and being able to pick yourself back up and respond. Reading the reports I'm not sure #nufc did a lot wrong here. Equally they now have to throw some punches back. I would like to see our ownership start to use some of its leverage as well.

Quick search on FR feed. That tells you everything you need to know! #nufc

Also the notion we weren't aware of Liverpool coming in I find nonsense. Liverpool haven't just spent 6 hours on a whim doing this deal. The silence at our end has been deafening. All pushed through the media. We now need to react though #nufc

Getting gazumped for deals is never going to feel good. Equally I have no clue on what's happened here. My bigger takeaway is perhaps we all need to manage our expectations a bit about what the club is and what it will be. Certainly makes for less angst personally. The sun will rise tomorrow! #nufc

Tonali has been discussed alongside our Trafford conversations. I have always thought this is his destination #nufc www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

Apparently 100m price tag on Tonali. I'm not sure any club can turn that down. I get optics feel poor but as long as we invest that sets us up next 3 seasons with these sales #nufc

Ok looks like Calf injury, which is better prognosis for the long term #nufc

Liv out the WC 🫣 #nufc

Great thread. When I knew we were selling players this summer to balance the books Tonali and Gordon and/or Liv were thr three I made my peace with. Let's get this done then we're set for an exciting summer #nufc

Seems like this went under the radar yesterday! #nufc

So sounds like Spurs are going to test the waters with a bid. Anything around the 90m mark that would be superb business and would allow us to replace with 2 players in the midfield. Camara and another #nufc

Best thing I did was block Romano last year. The amount of nonsense this summer going to drive you all crazy. Munoz will happen this week, they're actively working on Trafford. We just need to get our business done #nufc
