Just repeating what i read on another occasion. Whether its true or not I couldnt swear either way.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I can't put my finger on why, but something just doesn't feel right about all this.
Maybe it's the time it's dragged out, or the lack of BBC or SSN really getting involved, but much as he seems to be close to signing, somehow the feel for it actually happening isn't there , like it's all been some elaborate hoax at our expense.

Where does Paul like to go drinking? at the Pog-bar
For all the Desi/Brown United supporters who understand urdu/hindi.
"When Sir Alex meets up with Pogba once he's signed."
Who comes up with this stuff?!

What is the basis of this btw? I mean, I work in finance and I've never heard about this. Companies release earnings after market close quite often. If I remember correctly, we announced Fellaini past midnight UK time and Mata after the market close as well.
I've been feeling the same way since the beginning.. Maybe just too many bad experiences in the past, maybe another saga with a disappointing ending..
That's the reason why I don't let me carried away by all the great news from "Italian top journos" but rather wait for official confirmation IF it comes of course.
It's bollocks. It's a myth that has been repeated so many times that people believe it.
It was from a thread on Talking Reds. Someone suggested that because a player is a source of income for a club that they need to be registered during stock exchange open hours to avoid illegal trading or something. Apparently if you're registered on a stock exchange anything which effects your earning potential or share price needs to be announced during stock exchange hours. Like i said, its not something i know a lot about and i couldnt swear its accurate or whether a player would actually fall into that category or not.
Comparing these 2 quotes makes me further think that there's no correlation between stock market times and announcing signings. Most times I'd say we just need time to prepare. Better to announce it in the afternoon, which happens to coincide with stock market timea over there. It's just coincidence
Fair enough.
Pogba to United - It's all done. Player ready to fly to London - waits for the go ahead from Juve.
Why London?
Even Juventus announced the higuain deal after market close and they also are lsited on the stock exchange. So there seems to be no truth in it.
On an other note why should a club announce signings late at night when most of the people aren't checking for updates constantly if they could get a much higher attention by announcing during the day if possible. So I think that doesn't mean anything in relation to stock market rules tbh.
No direct flight to Manchester?
Our offices are in London nowadays. Ed's based there anyway.
Arsenal put in a bid at the last second mate.
Am I right in thinking this has cost us £92m including any agents fees?
Yeah but only 85m and 1 penny.
He thinks Utd have moved to London. Thats how we convinced him.
I kind of feel the same. Considering this is the biggest transfer ever you'd be expecting BBC and definitely Sky to be all over it.
I bet we paid his flights too, thieving bugger!
That's pretty much what I think it is. Signings are just announced when the club's marketing thinks is the best time to announce it to get maximum attention. Usually the best time coincides with NYSE market open timings.
In reality, buying a player is somewhere between capital purchase of machinery and hiring new staff for a non-footballing business.
Neither of those require a statement to the shareholders.
Flight tracking time.
Wenger's probably still umming and ahhing over whether or not to contact them about Morata
No!
Love it.
If everything is agreed between the clubs and the player and hus agent. Finalising a 100m deal takes as long as finalising a 5m. You also need bank guarantees and if you have enough mula on your accounts, the bank can whrite a 100m on the docs just as easy as 5m.
Its agreeing on a fee with the selling club and agreeing about payment methods and agreeing on the player and his contract which will take much longer on a 100m deal than with a 5 deal. But that part os supposed to be done now.
Finalising it all should be pretty straightforward.
Ensahul - tuttobenejuventus.it claims instead of London Plogba accidentally flew to Madrid where Perez signed him at the airport.
William Hill despairs.
William Hill despairs.
We will not need to speculate on this. Most likely, the club will release the exact figure on the website, I am almost certain. It's a world record fee, it's our bragging right and we will brag I am sure.
When was the last time the club released any of our exact transfer fees?
Di Maria.
Announce Pogba ffs
Pretty sure we have some sort of office there financial HQ or whatnot with London being such a hub of activity
He's signing for West Ham
Maybe Arsene is in for him and made a bid of 35m
He probably thought that its 100m rupees
We need a Pogba's transfer alternate reality thread.
Maybe Arsene is in for him and made a bid of £35,000,001
fixed that for you.
