We don’t normally publicise our transfer business. It tends to stay behind closed doors.

Haven’t we “supposedly” got a couple ready? 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s according to the guy who said Nathan Jones wasn’t going to be our new manager, the day before he was appointed

Also tried to tell people that the club management were told by SR that "money was no object" in the last transfer window.

Money was no object. Thats definitely why we splashed a breathtaking £6m on Aribo and a handful of £10m children. Money no object.

Yeah I think you’ve got me mixed up with another poster 🤣

I’ve never used the “money no object phrase”. Only time I’ve talked about money is when I said I don’t see SR shelling out another £50m in January after spending £100m in the summer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thats literally it 😅

I don't mean you, I mean the person I think you are basing your "supposedly" on, who also claimed that the Nathan Jones rumours was "all coming out of Luton".

It's pretty clear if you read back that:

  1. Manji wasn't claiming to be ITK about Nathan Jones, he even said it was wishful thinking on his part that all the rumours were coming from Luton
  2. The "money no object within reason" thing was about the club recognising how important it was the get a quality striker in, not about the willingness to spend huge on the transfer budget as a whole

The main thing that was "pretty clear" is that Manji has a clutch of different logins that he uses to "explain" or back up what he says.

Fantastic to read your opinion though x x x

Oh apologies aha.

@manji I think was the guy that has said about the two signings being supposedly lined up…? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes and he’s also the guy who said all the noise about Jones to us came from Luton and even local reporters had stopped talking about it.

Source?

As a fellow ITK-watcher, I think it's the Ukraine posts... despite my strong suspicion that Manji has a completely different source for Saints info. I've seen enough to think he has a contact and is posting in good faith.

There are only a few people who bother posting any ITK info on here these days, and invariably only a fraction of proclamations actually come to fruition, even when they are genuine. Notably, all the bollocks over the post-Gao takeover on here (including Manji as I recall), and the one who actually did break the news, on another forum, only went on to say recently that we were in for Gallardo in preference to Jones.

Anyway, it makes the forum interesting and gives us hope... certainly in this instance, as the alternative is that without two decent forwards, we go down at the end of this season. I certainly don't come here for the low effort bickering and tedious post-spamming which makes Private Eye's 'From The Message Boards' section look run-of-the-mill.

I stopped posting my bits of information a few years ago after people started to be desperate for me to be wrong. Unfortunately for the forum it was their loss, the hyenas who circled the forum lion were beaten off but as a result the lion no longer cares for the opinions or to share insights with the forum of gazelles

Great to have a completely independent analysis of Manji as a contributor from somebody completely different who is definitely not Manji in any shape or form.

You are surely not suggesting that people posting on an Internet forum have more than one user name? This is strictly against forum rules and I’m sure the moderators would immediately ban anyone who were to breach this rule. 
 

in any case you can usually spot similarities in posting styles and I cannot see anything that would make anyone believe Manji or TBS are the same person.

I shouldn't have to defend myself but I've been on here and its previous iterations for the best part of two decades. I changed usernames about ten years ago having forgotten my password and sign-up email, only to be thwarted from doing so for a couple of years due to the IP address being the same. So I personally know that it isn't straightforward to create multiple logins.

I was polite enough to you the first time you made the accusation a few days ago, but free to sift through my relatively few posts and it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that I don't hold the same identity as another poster purely on the premise that I write in their defence - not least because I had previously given my position on Russia-Ukraine, and guess what - it doesn't match. You aren't as bright as you think you are. Please fuck off and leave me alone.

I can post what I like to who I like when I like, Manji.

I trust and have no issues with @manji.

Is this thread some type of witch hunt / pisstake out of @manji? If so surprised it's allowed.

It was in the January transfer thread and then I came on the site hours later and posts had been removed from the transfer thread and put into this one 🤷🏻‍♂️
