Have you considered that maybe the club likes to tell us good news?
I mean if true and United are sniffing its prudent to tie him to a new deal, with regards the stadium we were told we would hear news before the end of the year, they told us that before the season started, whenever we hear that news, be it this year or next, people will no doubt trot out the "using good news to mask the bad" line.
But ive no doubt that the club does try and deflect at times, I mean at this point everybody is sick and tired of the players coming out with the "soz abar being crap, next game we will try weely, weely hard I promise"
