Toffee TV said we had it agreed with him but didn't have the financials available so couldn't pull the trigger.

I don't need that much convincing!
In the number 10 off a big man he'd cause trouble!

Fofana on loan from Chelsea would be a great signing
Looks a real player

How do you have the ability to agree a deal but not have the financials 'to pull the trigger' on a free transfer?

I guess the same reason 777 couldn't pull the trigger to buy us.

Nah, because you don't approach a free transfer like this. If you've agreed a deal and there is no fee to worry about then there's no trigger to pull. If you don't have the cash for wages or a signing on fee then a deal hasn't been agreed.
You're just peddling another negative soundbite, because it's what you do now. As well as telling us how shit everyone is.

I'd like to buy this beautiful £1m house up the road from me, and I've agreed the deal with the owner, but unfortunately my financial backer pulled out when he saw that I owed £200m to a Ponzi scheme and so the deal fell through.
I'm pretty sure our transfer business has been impacted by the Friedkin group pulling out and this is one of them. He'll be after a few quid signing on fee, which was agreed and which we can't afford now.

We won't have been basing deals on a takeover that was only at due diligence stage.

I’m confused

wtf
Bizzare post this mate. Seems perfectly reasonable to me that we might be working on deals knowing we need other dominos to fall further down the line in order to put pen to paper.
I don't think TT are generally seen as negative rumour spreaders are they? Nor do I think really that we're skint is news to anyone?
