David Gill was still waiting for this kind of thing to happen again. He gave Tony Twain a call but did not expect an answer from Twain. He felt that rather than let Twain take over Manchester United, he should do more to persuade Ferguson to change his mind.
Twain found a problem. Ever since Gill called him, the news in the press that he might take over Manchester United had spread and intensified.
This phenomenon put him on guard. If Manchester United were to poach him as the manager, there was no reason to make it so public before any plan was in place. If they did not publicize it, how did the media know? Manchester United deliberately leaked it out.
What was their intention in leaking it? To confuse the Forest team.
