Surely this has now dragged on too long - 17 pages on here supports that. I was under the impression that he - Manu - was to have made a decision last week based on the comments from the Hull Management. Surely there can be little doubt that we are now being used to up his offer from Hull.

I get the impression he's already told Hull that he's leaving.

There's no word yet on the FC board as to his decision. As time goes on, the more I think he'll stay

Wouldn't hull announce he was staying if he's agreed a new deal?

They have been quick enought to discuss their dealings with both Manu and turner so imbpretty sure they would announce it if he's agreed to stay.

I just get the feeling that hull know he's off and that's why they keep telling their fans they have offered this and that to Manu to to show the fans they tried.

Exactly. Saints, or any other club for that matter, wouldn't be able to announce to Manu's signing until September 1st (unless Hull give their permission), whereas Hull would be able to make an immediate announcement if he was staying. So basically no news is good news as far as we're concerned.

Hmmm this thread till september???????/

That's my thinking also.

However, I do expect hull to make public that Manu is leaving (if true) but I doubt they will name which team he's going.

If this thread wasn't running then the forum would be totally dead.

Now that Royce has been sacked and we are winning again the has been nothing else to debate, I've been pretty bored on this forum to be honest.

i doubt they will to be honest, it'll only end in him getting booed which wont help Hull at all

The fact hull have said they have give Manu a deadline suggests they have to tell the hull fans of his decision.

They have been very public in the Manu saga which says to me it's an attempt to tell the hull fans they tried their best but he's gone for the money.

With them given a deadline means the fans will demand to know.

Given that the apparent deadline was last week; I assume (or hope, just to end this speculation!) we will hear something this week.
