5pm ET?
It may not be relevant but it seems to be what the club are doing now so there is no ambiguity. Open to correction on it though.
Phil Neville's giving him to tour, complete with dialogue.
4 ET. Lazy fecks
I believe it would be 4PM ET at 9PM GMT.
For significant management changes yes - not player announcements.
Believe me - look it up.
Phil: I know they're around somewhere
Woody: We've been waiting for 4 hours, Phil. You can show him another time
Phil: No, no they're here I know they are....ahhh, here they are. Now Ando, gather round, these are the set-piece folders from last season...
Cross/shot against Newcastle away.
Thats absolutely staggering. Shows just how diabolical our current midfield is.
Thanks people!
4PM Local time close, so 9pm GMT. Might explain Mata being announced at about 9:30pm.
I expect Herrera to be announce in the next 2 hours judging by that.

That was 2012/13.
Not going to change the fact that he was a weak manager with negative tactic and counter-productive training methods. Sooner or later he would be found out anyway, Fabregas/Herrera or not.
Interceptions is a vital stat missing off that chart there, something Carrick usuall excels in. Either way I need no convincing, it's going to be great to have somebody who can actually play football in midfield.
It's any announcement with financial implications. Earnings reports, investments etc.
What do you mean "look it up" they don't have a rule of football player signings.
He's still at Carrington? I went to the gym convinced this would be wrapped up by the time I got back. What's the latest?
De Gea's played like 10 mins for Spain, why the feck are people using not playing for Spain as justification for not being good enough FFS.
So it was, really thought it was last season.
Edit: I think he scored against Villa away.
I think we'd probably get at least £5-6million more for Fellaini and we're short on numbers in midfield, where Cleverley is probably slightly less of a liability than Fellaini. I agree about Fellaini he offers more overall when used as a target man.
Got the 3rd away to Villa
How did you forget this?!
I definitely did not spend 5 minutes trying to find out when this goal was.
NYSE guidelines state what can/can't be announced during trading. It talks about significant management changes.
coz they need to find fault with everything the club does...
I forgot a lot of things around that Christmas period.
It's not any announcement of financial implications - more too it than that.
If we had signed Fabregas people would've been creaming themselves. Now that we're going to sign Herrera people are saying "so glad that we signed him instead of Fabregas," when he wasn't even on our radar anymore just a couple of days ago.
If LVG rates Ander higher than Cesc then who are we to question that.
He was clearly on our radar last year, and i for one was gutted when he didn't come, added to that Barca wanted shut of of Fabregas, rather than Bilibio been gutted Herrera is going, just sits better to me.
But yes in many ways you are right, if Fabregas had come instead then the cafe would have exploded!
Everybody on here was creaming themselves when we were in for him last summer and supposedly signed for him, it has nothing to do with Fabregas. It was a big surprise that we went back in for him, even a lot of reliable media sources said that they'd be surprised if we were interested again, that's why most lost interest in discussing a potential transfer. We thought that our interest stopped after the shambles last summer.
Opinionated football fans.
This forum would get awfully quiet come the new season if we never questioned our manager's decisions.
Fabregas is the better player at the moment, but Herrera will suit us more IMO. He's much more mobile.

I could be wrong but I don't think there has been a major player investment that has been announced mid-trading since we floated on the NYSE.
Yeah I agree but I trust Van Gaal's judgement. I'm sure the majority on here do also. If he didn't think Fabregas was a good fit for his team than thats fine by me. No point shoehorning players into the team for the sake of it.
So, this guy had last season more goals, more assists, more dribbles, more chances created and more shots than all our midfielders combined, and has around twice as much tackles as our best midfielder. Not bad at all.
I'm not saying that Cesc would've been a better signing, I'm just saying that a whole bunch of people are suddenly acting as though Fabregas is a second rate player since we didn't sign him.
Yeah, I agree, really. After last season, we need someone who has a clear idea of what he wants to do with us and for now our best bet is to assume this is all part of a masterplan.
EDIT - Just realised I started my post exactly as you started yours... What agreeable sorts we are.
It is customary to do things after the closing bell, but there is no prohibition on announcing news during market hours. Furthermore:

I wonder what it means for Nick Powell now that Herrera has been signed
There might not be a prohibition but practically you want anything that may impact on the share price to be given to the market at a time when they an digest it, not react immediately. As markets often react badly immediately, as they don't like change.
