So what? You don't have to be in the same place as a person you want to speak with or see. Even if that includes a group of people. Few deals are done face to face anymore. We take on people without ever physically seeing or meeting them, even for the duration of their employment with us.

I can't help but think a lot of closed season business is centred around the Balearics. The mountain isn't going to come to Selhurst.

Joe Hart looks angrier than a kid with no Easter eggs, David Silva looks like he won't smile for a week. Vincent Kompany has taken his shirt off and looks like he might just start a fight with himself. The visiting dressing room will be a glum place.

Shipperley has ruled himself out?

That crossed my mind too, but I think they'd want to announce it, at the very least to entice players.

Unless the business involved convincing Allardyce to change his mind.

Derek Innes the Aberdeen manager has turned down Sunderland, even though they offered him 3 times his current salary.
We are not in the embarrassing situation of a manager openly turning you down.
So perhaps all the Parish knockers now realise why he does his business of finding a manager quietly, not through the media.

Am I not also right in remembering that the US investers said they wanted to go over this with tweezers?
