The only constant throughout all that is that after every explaination it is added that it's not, in any way shape or form, about money. No sirree Bob.

What odds that a very angry Sir Alex Ferguson made it abundantly clear that he didn't want the club to paint him as some sort of mug who'd completely changed his mind about whether an 18 year old was good enough, over the course of 3 weeks?
It would certainly explain why they're only bringing up this work permit stuff this morning.
It's definitely not about money though. I'm glad they've cleared that up.
