His dad allowing the manager to have the final say on transfers?
Absolutely. But he's done that loathsome fishing thing and left it there. No explanation offered. Just dangles some obviously bad news on social media and leave the fans second guessing.
Sky Sports BREAKING: Leicester City are now favourites to sign Kelechi Iheanacho after West Ham Utd dropped out of the race to sign the Manchester City striker #SSNHQ
My feeling about the NotaClugh Ihenacho article is it is all twaddle, but if it were true, I would be delighted to think that the owners have enough faith in our manager (and sense) to give him the final say in transfer dealings.
I have yet to read (apart from on here) or hear anyone say it is good business to wait to do your transfer business. Everyone has been congratulating how well Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Everton plus Leicester just today in getting their business done quickly. It appears some clubs just select a player they want and make an acceptable offer, none of this lets undertake transfer dealings the "Levy" way. Like Diana Ross "I am still waiting" and my patience is starting run very thin!
That is possible, yes .. but I don't think it's that straightforward. As the deadline approaches and players fear not being signed, they may have less scope for negotiating and playing one club off against the other.

Who the BBC are now saying is close to joining Leicester.
Another PR classic from those involved at the club. ;doh
C&H?
The BBC?
His dad allowing the manager to have the final say on transfers?
And me, to be honest. He must have realised what would have happened. Utterly unnecessary.
Too , but even the twonks have an opinion
;ok
or, and I know this sounds really far out and crazy, he could have elected to just tweet nothing at all??..
Completely irresponsible, IMO.
Would it be possible to shut this one down and get Baz to open a new one in the hope reversing the fortunes and bringing some good karma?
I get that he's a fan - so if he is just tweeting as a fan, fair enough I suppose. He's allowed.
But If he's tweeting on the basis of his privileged position, and inside info as the owner's son, he should shut up.
You can't have it both ways.
Edit: I refer you to brookings' earlier post re twonks. ;wink

Gold said we're targeting 'proven PL strikers'.
Iheanacho is not. We don't need anymore risks. We've done that with Emenike, Zaza and Calleri.
Think we'll sign him.
So it's almost like he's been fed this news by someone (Sully?) and it is so negative about the manager it makes you wonder what the motive is?
I don't see it as negative at all.
In the unlikely event that it actually represents what happened:
Manager doesn't want player.
Doesn't get landed with player.
Good job all round, imo.
Everyone (including DS and Slav) recognise that doing business early is ideal.
What, I fear, you have to accept, is that the transfer market is a far from ideal world.
I haven't seen one completed transfer so far that we could reasonably have got who I think we missed out on.
Prices can go down as well as up ;hmm
