Don’t mean to be rude but you really should post this whether its true or not. Unless they are signed sealed and delivered anything can go wrong resulting in nothing interesting happening.
It whips everyone up and when nothing happens results in more abuse towards the manager and club down to no fault of their own.
If he has heard something and it proves to be true, there may be the slight chance that by getting in the public domain it may harm things.
Sorry if it doesn't satisfy your curiosity though!
Or it could be a vague statement with the obligatory maybe/should/possibly/probably/hopefully inserted in as the escape clause, with the hope that when something happens credit can be claimed without actually making a definite claims about anything specific in the first place. Possibly. Maybe.
