Nothing new there then other than having what many have been saying "confirmed"

Well that's a bit of an anti-climax.

I was expecting to read something along the lines of Fergie being Jone's illegitimate father...

[Billy Castell]

So the deal is on hold until we find out who tipped off Man Utd about the release clause. Hopefully we can prove Ferguson and co. tapped him up, and he gets in trouble for illegal moves etc. at last.

[Tom]

Yep, I imagine the deal will go through at £16m then sadly although it sounds United went about it in the wrong way they wont be punished

[T.J.Newton]

is that it! seriously!, this as pretty much what we have known all day!, and was reported 24hours ago on espn!(give or take a detail).

tabloid reporters my arse, thats why i never buy newspapers.

[Ripleys love child]

Can you elaborate more on this nicko?

[herbergeehh]

It all sounds a bit strange to me.. We blackmail them for more money because they've tapped him up?

I'm actually embarrassed by that, United must be pissing themselves at this bunch of amateurs. They want to know how a club found out about the release clause ffs, maybe all these clubs use the same sources as Nicko, what a joke.

[tashor]

DAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!...........are we there yet?............

[hawkiiz]

Weird. I thought that when you declare your interest for something, you ask to get ALL the details on the product you are trying to buy. At that point Rovers would have to tell them about the clause, right?

[T.J.Newton]

the venkys are pathetically naive and alex fergusons united regime are incredibly arrogant, Who knew?

[johnny price11]

So the big reveal was what we all spoke about at length this morning.

Nice!

[adsfortheblues]

Im not being funny but most of nicko's story originate from stories we already know. BPF and Hughsey are far more reliable than Nicko, im not having a pop at the guy. BUT this is the guy who said Larsonn would sign, Ronaldinho was a possibilitiy and that venkys would spend massive, but now says they will spend £5mil

[whalleyrover]

I was told about 8 weeks ago by someone connected to Rovers, that Phil Jones had been tapped up by Manure!

[bob fleming]

tabloid reporters my arse

How very dare you!

It's a shame about this complicated release clause thing that we put in Jones' new contract. But by God aren't we fighting hard to get the best deal for the club now eh!

What a shambles. With Kean's war chest would another 3 or 4 million really matter?

Not the most flattering picture of big Phil Jones to use

[jim mk2]

So much for scoop of the century.

There hasn't been this much excitement since Venky's swooped for Ronaldinho in the last transfer window.

The club is a shambles.

[DE.]

that's it?

[hawkiiz]

I wonder what all of you expected to be revealed. ESPN must have done a good job though.

[Henwah]

Is that seriously it? Really. Thats quite ######

[Rover95]

What an anti climax!

I've noticed that Nicko doesn't really ever tell us anything we haven't heard already, yet here we all are desperately waiting for some exciting news that hasn't materialised!

He must be laughing his head off!!

[nicko]

I will leave the analysis of what is going on in one of the oddest transfer tales for some time to the experts.

One or two need to take a good hump to themselves while doing so.

Regards.

On the plus side, at least he's repeating what's been posted by people in the know on here, rather than just making something up
