Actually I don't think the company issued a warning until their hand was forced - one of the firms that covers MANU indicated that they were looking for some softness and the speculation started. MANU finally came out and issued a terse "we wont make the numbers - stay tuned for details."

I seem to recall that they were in a quiet period and their quarters are usually backloaded, but I can't help but think that they did not know about the shortfall sooner. I think that is one of the reasons for the huge decline the day of the announcement (40%) - loss of confidence.

All of this is from memory, but I think it is pretty close.
