It wasn't one tweet. It was one tweet then numerous aggregators posted over and over all saying the same thing but in a slightly different order, and with everyone posted an enthused rage/breakdown followed.
It was a random journo in Romania then jumped on by Italian and German Journalists which was when the meltdown came not after the original. To be fair we even had Dan KPs of this world junping on it

It was one tweet then numerous aggregators and journo's posted over and over all saying the same thing(because it all came from the exact same place) but in a slightly different order to make it sound like they were the ones with a great line of info to what what was going on, and with everyone posted an enthused rage/breakdown followed. but that's pretty standard round here during a transfer window.
And an ITK. I think it was enough given previous fans have experienced to assume history was repeating itself.

While some reactions were hysterical and disgraceful, I don't think blaming the ownership and the people in charge is unexpected, given what was being shared here.

It's very easy to be smart now when the situation is back in control but at one point it was looking like we are back to square one after knowing what we are in dire need of for 4 months.

so it looks like levy played it out well at the end?

he might save us couple of millions, and 1 week of wages, for "delaying" the deal

But a little patience is needed, the second a tweet comes out saying something isn't the time to throw toys around!

@Hercules gets excited, I expect he did his usual trick of starting a text convo with his guy and was posting on here in real time as the messages were coming through and before he'd finished the conversation. I do keep telling him to take a breath first :D He clarified very quickly that he wasn't worried.

I think it was them that delayed it trying to get Bayern to up the price. Nothing with us delaying it.

It was enough to go into full meltdown when this happens with every transfer?

Lol you aren't some ones 11 year old son are you?

I genuinely have no idea what you hope to achieve with this post.

You can choose to listen or not, that's all on you
I'm not one of the people who were freaking out last night, I take everything with a pinch of salt. However it has to be said that when you have an itk essentially blaming Levy and suggesting the deal could collapse because of Levy it doesn't help does it. I try not to get drawn into it all and I do appreciate people passing on stuff but some people need to be much more careful how they share information because it's like a red rag to a bull in here.

I'm not judging Herc, like you said chances are everyone was feeding off the same info, I'm just trying to give some defence to those who are being accused of bedwetting, as in the moment the "news" felt real and fast incoming.

People ought to know by now that the only journos from Italy worth listening to are Romano and Di Marzio.

There is no defence, you are sodding adults, and you should know how these things go by now. It's explained enough on here.

I just don't get this logic. The whole reason these threads exist is people getting excited and talking about players before we sign them. Naturally, people are then going to feel disappointed if the opposite looks like happening.

Just think everyone should be left alone for their reactions whether positive or negative. It's a forum, after all.
