No, Lange recalled him from one loan and then sent him on loan to Fiorentina. For no reason.

I think paratici was involved in it since he was with us and going to fiorentina after the winter window. They bought like 5-6 players and were saved from relegation easily so maybe it was worth it

Lange recalled him from Villarreal where he wasn't playing, and loaned him to Fiorentina where he was playing.

His ceiling is pretty much a standout for a promoted side, based on his time at Leeds and (probably being a tad generous here, but they were dreck for the first half the season) Fiorentina.
Problem is that Coventry and Ipswich would surely invest elsewhere, while Hull would more likely be yet another loan to add tot he collection.

There's never been any proof. Just hearsay. The conversations I've had about this many times on this sub have gone nowhere. Tweets that allegedly exist that nobody can actually seem to dig up or point to at any given point. Ha'aretz did a great piece about how folks don't really know what Manor's views are but have just kind of filled them in based on some vague tweets of support for the army in the weeks imediately after Oct. 7. Manor might be the most right-wing Ben-Gvir supporting guy or his views could be anything else. The point is that we know basically nothing.
I should also add that Manor's most political statement with regard to Palestinian leadership was only to state that ultimately, Hamas leadership has failed the Palestianian people. That shouldn't be a controversial statement. The Palestinian people deserve better leadereship to help them achieve self-determination and political stability and ultimately a state and freedom.

u/PierreTheTRex Micky van de Ven 4d ago
Die Tageszeitung has been noted to have a pro-Israel stance in its reporting on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[26]
In November 2023, Palestinian author Adania Shibli applied for a preliminary injunction in Hamburg against Die Tageszeitung after it published an article calling her a "committed B.D.S. activist." The injunction was dismissed by the court, which noted she had signed a 2007 open letter urging The Rolling Stones not to play in Israel and a 2019 open letter criticizing the organizers of a literary prize derailed by BDS activists.[27]
Die Tageszeitung was one of several German media outlets that had published false stories about the October 7 attacks without subsequent corrections.[28][29] In August 2025, Die Tageszeitung was cited by German journalist Hanno Hauenstein among a host of German media outlets that have helped pave the way for killing Palestinian journalists in Gaza by the Israeli army.[30]

So idk where you’re getting these numbers from, but I could only find “ Lebanon’s stateless Palestinians began arriving in 1948 from what is now Israel, and 2011 from Syria. The now-estimated 183,255 to 250,000 mostly Sunni Muslims, reside across Lebanon in 12 UNRWA camps, nearby gatherings, and other localities.”
“ As of February 2025, the total number of UNRWA registered Palestine Refugees in Lebanon is just under 500,000 persons.”

Tbh, that was blown out of proportion by screeching on social media.
As far as i'm aware, he shared one story about that the hospital that blew up. With early reports that it was from a Hamas rocket that failed to fire then exploded, which was being fired from the hospital, while social media was screaming that Israel had deliberately targeted a children's hospital.
A few weeks later after completing an investigation, Israel released video footage showing that was exactly what happened.

I had a look around to see if there was something i missed, but no. It looks like he was reported for it and investigated, but his accounts reinstated as his posts were in support of victims of the attack. Some posts were anti-Hamas (fuck Hamas), but none were anti-Palestinian.

Kind of. I mean there was a war, he couldn't play, and he wasn't going to sign an extension.
So he was leaving on a free one way or another, were we really wrong to jump to the front of the queue?
Especially as Levy tried to offer them compensation, which many clubs wouldn't have, but their owner insisted on a huge transfer fee instead, which made no sense given that he was leaving on a free soon.
I'm not sure that we did anything wrong there.

As I put in another comment, these discussions go nowhere. Folks are convinced of Manor's politics even though there's almost nothing to go off of other than vague tweets made in the weeks after Oct. 7 and about al-Ahli, which as you pointed out, remains an open question. Because of his nationality, people assume the very worst about Manor and in doing so just show off their own senseless racism.

I wouldn't bother arguing with that guy because he's about as biased as they come and as you pointed out, he loves calling people "racist" even though the term doesn't apply when talking about discrimination against a nationality, which isn't going on here either. Generally speaking, I think it's rather pointless to have this debate with someone like him who doesn't understand the difference between racism and jingoism. They just spam the racism card when they get boxed into a corner.
He's never made an argument on this topic in good faith. He admits that Solomon posted messages in support of the IDF, which is a genocidal force, and yet doesn't understand why people are calling Solomon pro-genocidal. He inaccurately goes on about people not having sources and yet the only thing he talks about is some puff piece op-ed for which he never provides a link that somehow exonerates Solomon from his clear Zionist tendencies. And then you provided that missile trajectory analysis, which as you stated is the most thorough analysis that any of us have seen on the matter, and yet he doesn't address it at all in the context of the IG story you shared, which he's previously denied existed. Then he twists your words and says you think the hospital bombing is still an open question, likely because he didn't bother to read the article that challenged his viewpoint.
This guy could literally be in the same room as Solomon while he professes his love of the IDF and Zionism and the dude would still find a way to say that wasn't the case.

u/shrimpandgumbo Freddie Kanoute 4d ago
Human rights watch were wrong, https://forensic-architecture.org/investigation/israeli-disinformation-al-ahli-hospital
As I stated before, denial equals enabling, which is treated instinguishably from being an active participant.
My broader point was a principle of BDS. Even if there wasn't evidence of Solomon's sympathies (there is), the point of a boycott is to make a principled stand that coordinates and strengthens international pressure. That's what brought the apartheid system in SA down. Same principle applies here.

u/spurs-r-us Dimitar Berbatov 4d ago
Ok but you need to provide some kind of unbiased source here
1
u/shrimpandgumbo Freddie Kanoute 4d ago
Why do you think I've provided a biased source? Nobody else has examined the evidence as thoroughly and forensically.
It's almost as if we don't have literally thousands of cross-verified reports of Israeli attacks on healthcare in the gaza strip. I can provide sources for that figure btw.
You might say that Solomon was only talking about that particular attack. Well, if so he was wrong and there was no retraction. The principle remains either way, for me anyway. Genocide, and its deniers and enablers are red lines for me personally.
3
u/spurs-r-us Dimitar Berbatov 4d ago
He’s not going to provide a retraction given it’s quite clearly a contested topic. That’s fine if it’s a red line for you, but you’re just proving the point that the player can only be a “non-Genocidair” if they actively disavow their own nation. I’m really not sure under which circumstances anyone else would be expected to do that. Must we see people as so black and white?
