Personally, I don't see the funny side. Completely unprofessional. That's someone's career.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Usually I'd agree but its Lazio so its funny. Feck those fascists.
I sent an innocent dick pick to that address and based on the absolute smut I got back I have to say that @JPRouve is quite simply a wrong un.
Great wank though. Cheers.

Well that looks as if it finally explains why I was constantly receiving Italian spam e-mails yesterday!

How would they know?
Would be very surprising if this was true..
They asked for the id 4 days before the deadline.. if the mail wasnt opened, they should have followed up and tried again..
someone somewhere fecked up..

Presumably they asked to see the screenshots the agent had taken and spotted the error.
If this is half the story, I would love to read the other half

I mean, if they can't get the email, don't they have many hours to do zoom calls, Google meet, whatsapp, etc?
If that all failed, why not do the old mafia way with a briefcase?
I don't believe this shite.

Well yeah, but I replied to your comment aboute emails receiving a response quicky, which in my working experiene is almost never the case. If its deadline day, of course you start making phonecalls when the due time is closing, everyone gets that, but before that, replies are either: Immediate because I happened to be at my computer then, or whenever I get back to you.
I appreciate the advice on how big transations are handled.
I (and my company) signed a seasonal (Q1 2022) delivery order from one particular brand of outdoor apparel for 35 million NOK which roughly translates to £2,9 million GBP at the end of May. As usual I have a habit of delaying everything until deadline day. We had minimal contact up until the day besides some pleasantries and promises of dinners, then on the day everyone and their mother are very dilligent with asking questions and making sure everything runs on time. It's only a hurry, when it's a hurry.
Yeah, isn't just going to end up in court, perhaps with a hefty consequence and the player getting his move anyway?
emails are dodgy, always best to go with a gentleman's agreement, they are fool proof.
Lazio still haven't learnt their lesson after the Hushpuppi (Ramon Abbas) scam.
"In 2018, it was reported that the Italian football club Lazio have reportedly been duped by online scammers and paid the final installment of defender Stefan de Vrij’s transfer fee to fraudsters rather than Dutch club Feyenoord.
According to Italian newspaper Il Tempo, the Serie A club were tricked into sending £1.75 million to the wrong bank account in Holland by hackers with knowledge of the deal.
The scam was executed through an email, when Lazio received purporting to be from Feyenoord, including bank details, asking for payment."

And they couldn't just pick up the phone.
At least Woody could use the 'fax machine was broken' excuse and not really get found out. Frankfurt can't really say 'sorry t'internet was broke ' and get away with it.

Here's Frankfurt's side: they reportedly told spox that Lazio forgot the letter "K" when trying do address the email and that Lazio have admitted as much in writing.
Maybe they are more comfortable with email due to the language barriers.
And they couldn't just pick up the phone.
The tweet says Lazio admitted it, so thats quite funny
I am sure they did this at some point. It just happened that Frankfurt in the meantime said in public that there is no offer.
And they couldn't just pick up the phone.
I presume they have people who can speak multiple languages for theses scenarios.
A case of breech of trust?
If it is a non-existent email addy then they would have got a bounce back notification, right? Also, with the deadline so close they didn't follow-up with a phone call to see what was going on? Doesn't add up for me.
Emails to wrong address bounce back
2. Frankfurt came back saying
Next window Madrid bid for Pogba, Woodward send them transfers@manchestercity.com to forward the offer.
Someone opens a fake domain and sends wire details, Juve wires 120M to someone in Barbados
2. Frankfurt came back saying
Didn't notice there is no K in Italian till now

So who were they trying to buy? Ostic?
If theres no K in Italy then how come did Lukaku get his name printed. How about Burger King, they do have Burger King. How about Kevin Lasagna? I call bollochs.

What of Patrick Cutrone an Italian
They printed Lukakus jersey abroad
What of Patrick Cutrone an Italian
To be fair there is no letter "k" in the Italian alphabet!

i didn't refresh the page before posting I meant it as a joke

It's funny how most posters will likely keep laughing at Frankfurt and ignore the tweet clarifying the situation. If anyone was wondering how fake news works - that's it. Just be there first; a lot of people will never check back.
That K but is nonsense. The letter K doesn't occur in etymologically Italian words, but they do have it in loanwords and names. Plus it will feature in its regular spot in Italian keyboards. Since language is more interesting than anything, here's the Wikipedia entry that I know everyone is aching to read:
Yes I'm fun at parties. Everybody loves a good factoid.
This explains why Lingard is still here.
There is No L in West Ham.

Not to mention that it was a pretty ridiculous claim to begin with..
If it seems too ridiculous to be true... then let's run with it, cause it's hilarious and I want to believe this!
Laughing at Frankfurt or laughing at the whole thing?
Btw did Lazio say anything after Frankfurt's version?
You’ve got to give props for this level of shadiness.
I wish you could do this in Football Manager

Laughing at Frankfurt as the crazies in this. I agree that the situation as a whole is funny - just like the fax machine story of De Gea. (No matter what's true and who was to blame for what happened.)
So Di Marzio (who is very good with Italian clubs) reported Frankfurt gave wrong email, Frankfurt said they sent mail to wrong email or they missed some letter.
Did Lazio say anything after that? If they said and agreed that they missed a letter in email then fair enough, if not Why should we believe Frankfurt story when they have lot to lose and have all the reasons to twist the story? For all we know, it might be a cover up story.
Again if Lazio acknowledges the whole thing then fair enough.
Lots of things may have happened, but in general, the idea that a club would give out a wrong e-mail address on purpose to try and stall the process sounds ridiculous - if only because it's unlikely to work. (You'd get an error message as the sender, you can just call, you can contact the agent, etc.) Also, how would they give the wrong address? They'd have to have had a working way of communicating already to do that.
Lots of things may go wrong by accident of course; but to my mind, people jump on the original story because it's funny, not because it makes sense.
(Also, Frankfurt claiming Lazio confirmed their error in writing sounds pretty strong to me. There is no way Lazio would just let that stand uncontested, if only not to look stupid to their own fans.)
(I'm wondering why I care. Guess I don't like how guillable people can be. Of course, they'll prove next that Frankfurt did turn out to be evil dummies, and I'll look stupid.
)So basically Frankfurt never emailed them or there was no CC email!
