History sub-title

The final 2013-present section of the history part should read something like 'Post-Ferguson decline' ('Fergie' sounds a bit casual). Westdoggys (talk) 00:04, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Bowler the Carmine | talk 18:17, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. As we've seen in the past these deals can seem done but fall apart at the last minute. 2601:346:1000:32A0:BCB8:CDE4:78A6:A4BE (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of 1/2 hour ago, Sky Sports is reporting that it may be official as early as tomorrow.

Just as a note for further edit requests, as the club have announced the deal. It is still subject to visa requirements/work permits, and until that time, the deal is not complete. Sunny☀️Tango (t • c) 12:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Another likely twist is that even when those are done, Ruud may likely remain the interim coach. It's being reported by several sources that Porto want to keep their coach for a couple big games. Agassiz830 (talk) 13:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At the earliest, it’s going to be 11 November when the international break starts. But yeah, we never can anticipate visas or other outside factors. Sunny☀️Tango (t • c) 13:59, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
