No one has reported we have a deal agreed so why is he supposedly flying over then?
No one seems to know anything about it at all by the sound of things, so it wouldn't be surprising if we managed to sign him without them even getting a sniff of it. The amount of crap that's been written it's fairly obvious the papers haven't got a single clue between them.

To complete a deal?
Because of the clause of Sporting having to pay Bruno around £5m if they reject an offer, his agent has been having informal negotiations to sort a deal without official bids, is the whispers on reddit.

On a more serious note, it always amazes me how much planes divert off the direct path to align correctly to a runway and/or avoid certain residential areas. It must waste a heck of a lot of fuel, if you consider all the planes doing this to a certain extent at all airports every day...

To much disappointment, British boxer Frank Bruno steps off a private jet in Manchester.

It’ll land in London, then we will be fed some nonsense that our head office is in London and his agent needs to go to the head office early next week to discuss terms etc. Fernandes has stayed in Portugal to carry on with training.

So why are his family in a hotel?

Edit
: If he was in Lisbon training this morning, they would not need to stay in hotel, his wife would be home. Believe!

Edit 2: His wife previous update was from same area as Bruno's agent's office. Few hrs later she posts a vid of her kids in a hotel and the flight we have tracked takes off.

Nah mate.. His agent was in England to collect our bid, the one we have been preparing for the last month. That part is done.
Bruno is here to sign.. will fly back tomorrow and will join the squad directly in 2 days. Facht.

It does indeed look like that specific plane is travelling in the direction of the UK. Whether it lands in Manchester or not is hard to tell but it's possible for sure.

Learjet 75 private jet review with Stratajet | Br…:


This is the plane on way to UK, it is similar to the type that AWB was on.

According to this website, the air distance between Porto's airport and Manchester's airport is 888.64 miles. That Learjet is cruising at around 485 kts or 558.13 mph meaning it would take roughly 1.59 hours or 1 hour 35 minutes for it to reach Manchester.

Of course, he's not going to be going at full speed for the entire trip, we can fudge in another 30-35 minutes for take off and landing.

Seeing as how he took off at about ~2:30 BST, I'd expect him to get to Manchester around ~4:40 BST.

The club is preparing white sheets as we speak.

Also, just heard that an uber Go has been booked from Leicester to Manchester.
