It's still not 100% even though Sky say it has happened. But it's been a mental day. Wonder how the BSG Fantasy League will be affected?!??

They're claiming it's virtually a done deal now. I honestly can't believe it.
Nor can I - that's why I'm still not certain it will happen! But if it does, Mark Hughes will wake up with different expectations tomorrow.
Completely. That takes City to a whole new level. Considering for the past week or so he's looked highly likely to be a Chelsea player, this is unreal. What sort of business will City do in the January window? The mind boggles...
Man City are the new Chelsea. There is no Big 4 any more, unless Liverpool drop out and get replaced.
Yeah. Backers who are infinitely richer than Abramovich? Abramovich being outdone on a transfer deal? Liverpool are on dodgy ground with their backers? Arsenal don't have much money to spend? Jeez - this really is going to be intriguing.
Yep - moneywise Man City have more than anyone; Liverpool and Arsenal don't have much; Chelsea and Man U have enough cash and excellent squads.
I wonder if Hughes is shitting himself, though - if he doesn't get them winning consistently some top Foreign coach will be in the frame
I'd imagine it's a mixture of elation and underpant-chewing nervousness!
Two (average) signings & King Kev looks to be leaving again.
Ashley's a f**king joke.
Your board's a f**king joke?
West Ham have no recognised left-back! We have sold half of our best defence in years to a sideways rival! Your boards a joke? Some people don't know they're born...

I've been saying that since the first day he had anything to do with the club. A feckless waste of space who knows fook all about football (selling football shirts doesn't make you an expert on the game) and is only at the club to make a quick buck. The club is cursed and will forever be connected to / run by dickheads.

West Ham have loaned in a striker and a left back.
F**king board making me look stupid...

Still nothing official, but he look's to have left.
I'm really at the end of my teather (spelling?) regarding NUFC and managerial appointments. Wise CANNOT get the job, but who would want it? The club is a joke throughout the media and among the Premiership.

Still unclear as to KKs position though.
What a depressing, bizarre and ludicrous situation.
