From TIA;
This has been posted by someone on RAWK would be nice if true and backs up PTs claims
I am life long red and have trailed this forum for the last 7 years without actually posting much. I moved to Dubai 3 years ago and have made many contacts within both Dubai & Abu Dhabi rulingn families.
After reading the rumours yesterday, I started asking the questions and now can confirm from good source within the AD family, that the deal is going to happen. Now, don't shoot the messenger.
Make of it what you want, but I will not be happy till its officially confirmed.
I actually got a text from the cabbie we use when we're in Liverpool, he texted the same story. 560 mill £ and Pellegrini to be our new manager.
Either the same rumour is doing the rounds, or there is acutally something in this.

It's not the same rumour then: Pellegrini isn't at the World Cup (unless he's there commentating for Chilean TV, of course).
