This is par for the course with the Premier League and their Judas 6 teams. Everything shrouded in secrecy just like when the Judas 6 were negotiating to set up the European Super League
In all the circumstances it didn’t make sense to pay Rondon off if no-one was coming in? The whole organisation seems dysfunctional perhaps highlighted by contract Dave being poached by Man U?
This is exactly the problem. Everyone has an opinion on who they don’t want but there are few positive majorities for any particular candidate. When Howard Kendall (originally) and Joe Royle got the job each was the only real candidate and so everyone just got behind them?
I’d have far sooner kept Richarlison. Gordon has potential but he’s nowhere near the level of say Rooney at the same age. Anything around £40 million and I’d snap the buyers hand off?
