Anyone think that with AVB denying the advances of PSG that it could mean Levy/Lewis are willing to back him?

I understand it could just be that he loves it here and knows we gave him essentially a new lease on his coaching life. But, maybe he received some assurances. Just thinking out loud.

You know, considering it's only June 18th, I dread to think what some of you will be like by Sept 1st :D

Actually no I don't really dread it, as it will be much to entertaining watching you lot lose the plot

I'm just going to stay nice and calm and not let it get to me

I don't believe for one minute that Levy would be held to ransom, even if he was being held to ransom in the politest possible way. I think they've been planning to back him this summer all along.

I don't actually believe that PSG were attempting to get Villas Boas.
The whole story just stinks of half baked journalism & twitter rumours, maybe a bit of mischief making.
I guess any enquiries if true have been politely rebuffed. But the idea that either Bale of Andre or going has been flogged to death by the dumb media. All we've ever heard is the opposite. Time and again.

Baldini doesn't know any of our players? Okaaayyy then... So as general manager of Roma he had no knowledge of Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Gareth Bale and Sandro? Or of Jermain Defoe, Kyle Walker, Aaron Lennon and Michael Dawon, who he would have worked with directly in the England set up. This shit's starting to read like a parody now.

@jetsetyid: Baldini is a lovely guy.
Does know any of our players & has a limited outlook on who we are going for.

How can he not know any of our players, he was assistant manager for England so he must know our English players and would have seen plenty of epl matches. Makes no sense to me.

In defence of Baldini, it's not been his job to know anything about our players.
Roma weren't even in Europe last year & he's probably been more concerned with trying to do that job

Give him time to settle in & i'm sure he'll prove to be an asset.

Wasn't there ITK last summer that we rejected a large bid for Sandro from Roma? Baldini must have known a tiny bit about him then I imagine
