Even if it is BS, it's not the best time for this story to come out. We are still trying to sign a player and not many will choose coming to a club and playing for a manager when he might be gone in 4/5 months!
It will inevitably also affect any business we're trying to do for the summer as players will first want to wait and see what happens. And we all know how our 'stalling' tactics in transfer negotiations have come back to bite us in the @ss!
